CMP forums - banned?

Apparently I have been banned from the CMP forums:
Error 1006

What happened?
The owner of this website (b34da70920f9-006155.vbulletin.net) has banned your IP address (67.225.136.87).
I find that rather odd as I haven't posted on there for months - and it worked just fine for me the last time I went to see what was new (maybe last week).
Anybody got any ideas?
Oh . . . and I haven't been on here for quite some time. Life got busy. I will try and do better - now that I won't be able to see what is happening at the CMP.
Comments
There are other forums?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
The Auction side, and CMP are separate from the forums, contact (their) support.
Welcome back, how you been? @US Military Guy
The IP address is banned. It could be that the CMP owner has done some sort of all encompassing block for certain IP address ranges. Or it could be a glitch. Seems unlikely that they've actually banned you, the user.

maybe your account got hacked, and something got posted that shouldn't have..........
Thanks for the helpful comments.
Where have I been? Well . . . it's like this. My "provider" decided to make my life better by changing my access to my email. This resulted in me getting a new email address - and losing all of my contacts/groups. I am an email kind of guy so this was a HUGE problem for me and The Color Guard and The American Legion and the 501.C3 that calls me "President" and my family and my fellow military vehicle friends and my internet forum activity.
Of course, the solution - as explained to me by the "computer guy" down the street - was to purchase a new computer (fortunately he had one to sell me); apparently Windows XP and a custom built computer from back in 1999 is not what I need. I really hate it when I am told what I don't need. What am I supposed to do with all of this coal? Did you know computers don't run on steam now days?
So I am learning something other than XP and most of my programs don't work now. (The most serious being my sheet optimizer I used in the woodworking shop.) I feel really lucky that most of my databases (woodworking, military collection, gun collection, American Legion, and Honor Flight) finally are working again. Fortunately my CAD files - mostly - are working.
Additionally, I did build my Toy Box - a place to store my military collection. It is a 100' x 36' building with a 12' ceiling in the Garage portion. Ceilings are lower in the Collection Room and Library. Naturally it is now too small and I am running out of space to put things. Collection count is currently over 9,500 items and I finally have a space, but apparently no time, to start working on my military vehicles.
I have added this forum to my bookmarks (is that what they call favorites now?). Hopefully I can hang around here more often.
Maybe I should check my profile and see what changes I should make there?
"Talk" to you later.
You need to turn your place into a bed-n-breakfast and get paid for folks to see your collection.
FWIW, I've never been on that forum, but just now I tried to access it and got this error message:
Access denied | b34da70920f9-006155.vbulletin.net used Cloudflare to restrict access
Maybe their whole outfit is down or maybe they don't like Gunbroker folk.
Something is definitely misconfigured on their website.
I have NordVPN which, among other things, lets me choose which state or country I happen to be in and creates the appropriate IP address for me. Great for traveling or getting access to news in other countries. And a great little app to help ensure online security and annonymity
Using NordVPN, I selected various states and countries as my point of origin. Each time, I got the error that @nunn reported.
Doesn't matter though. GB Forum is the only one that matters. 😂

I spoke with the County Assessor prior to purchasing the property - zoning issues.
It is located in "commercial". It can be taxed as "residential" - only if there are: no signs, no open hours to the public, no "make money there".
Not a problem for me, but from time-to-time I do "invite" folks to come and see my stuff (no donations accepted).
I do have a couch in the Library that turns into a Hide-a-Bed and a big screen TV. There is a microwave and mini-fridge in the Garage. Of course, there is a restroom - not a bathroom since there is no bath tub or shower. 😉
I found this on the home page -
"The CMP Forum is under maintenance and our IT Team is working on the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience."
I have never talked about The Toy Box (or my cannon or my woodworking) on that forum. I don't think they like that sort of stuff.
Nice to see you back here posting, USMG.
