From the early reports it looks like vbadvanced setup some sort of aggressive anti-spam/hack software like ZB Block. In this case I would expect most people to be able to access it but there will be a few who can't because the software believes they are unsafe users- perhaps due to geographic location, IP address being used for malicious purposes in the past, or even an active virus on the system.

vBAdvanced has been notified according to kh99 so that is it. They can decide if they want to block some legit potential customers in the name of safety or not- the fact 100 people can get to the forum without issue won't help the handful that can't.

Using a proxy will be the only hope for affected users if vBAdvanced doesn't disable or white-list these people, but proxies are often blocked by these programs anyway so you will need to find one that works.

I'm not sure what their email address is over there but if you're locked out try emailing "support@" or "brian@" vbadvanced (dot) com and let them know your IP address, MAYBE they can white-list you somehow.

If you know how to run tracert, run: tracert www.vbadvanced.com

And paste the results in the email, if they aren't using something like ZB Block that will be helpful information.
