IP Banned Me
 

These guys IP banned me from my own forum, www.rune-fox.net. They do not have ftp but they are still in control. How do I get rid of them?

Do you have access to the MySQL backend (e.g. phpMyAdmin)?

Oh You got hacked..hmmmm

I believe uploading the extra file "tools.php" will allow you to un-ban yourself. Once that is done add your self as a super administrator. And un-bannable.

Can you talk to your host and have them get you back on?

edit: Oh wait, you are just ip banned from the forums? I think the tools.php can help as stated above.

seems his own member turned on him... sad

$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = '';
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1';

Set those to include your user id in your config.php.

If you have ftp access to your files, rename the vBulletin installation folder.

This will at least stop them doing any further damage while you sort things.

if they dont have ftp access and you do then 1st thing i would do is rename the forum folder or index.php to something only u know.Will stop them accessing the forum till u can sort out your problem.

How have they got admin rights - was one of them admin and they banned you ?

How do I un-ip ban myself with tools.php?

I know how to remake the superadmin but I do not know how to un ban myself with tools.php

OK. We all were leading you in the wrong direction. Sorry! The tools.php doesn't have the ability to remove an IP ban. Best bet would be using direct access to your database (BTW: Delete your tools.php from your server!)
