| Bill, I'm sorry to hear that. The few of us that have been banned are joking about it here but that guy is out of hand. You were a very active contributor, like you are here, and have never been out of line and you are very knowledgeable. I think that guy needs to give his site to someone else that actually cares about the site. It is hard to believe he banned you. But you won't be the last I have a feeling. sorry to hear that. |

| Well I guessed wrong. I thought it would be bigbird that was next, I know why you were banned. You were trying to buy Silverwing parts from me. Sorry Bill, but you belong to a more elite club, now. We, the few, the proud, the banned.. |

Sorry to disappoint you, but I was banned from DN-01 site. I do not have a userid on the DN-01 site nor have I ever posted. |

Maybe he has some kind of a fetish for birds? |

Either that or Sesame Street. And of late he has been going a little cuckoo. Anyone who would like to join the double-banned club, feel free to register at www.dn-01.org, and be sure to use the same name as you have on silverwing.org. Dan |

I didn't even know there was a DN-01.org website but it seems I've also been banned from that. Can he ban us from the whole of the UK do you think? That's scary ! On a more serious note; is it time we moved on from this? Life is much too short to worry about folks with obvious problems which we can't do anything to help fix. Regards, Peter |

| Jeff, This Silverwing sight is the best on the English speaking internet. It's Fun, Informative, and just great to be a member of. It's all because of great people like you, Dan, Bill, Gary, and all the rest of the members here. Lord knows the loss of memberships on the .org sight is just that...A loss. We will go on with our lives and be a more close group because of it. Membership here will continue to grow as time goes by. When I get up each morning, I can't wait to see what's new here. I think, I can speak for everyone here, when I say....THANK YOU. |

| I've found a way to beet the ban! If you want to view the UK website then you can get around the ban by using an anonymous Web proxy server. In my case I used Proxify ( http://proxify.com/ ) and I ticked:
- Remove all cookies
- Remove all scripts
- Remove ads
- Hide referrer information
Put the URL (www.silverwing.org) into the field and "Proxify" - Bingo! You are in! By the way; this works for dn-01.org as well! UPDATE!I have been doing a little more research; here is an alternative to Proxify - the-Cloak ( http://www.the-cloak.com/login.html ) the page display is more normal when you get to "the dark side". Hope that helps, Peter

| I have two ideas for those who have been banned, if they want to view the other site: (no idea if they work, just ideas that I cannot test)
unplug your modem for a few hours or overnite. When you plug it back in, you should get a new ip address.
OR
go to command prompt from your start button (for Windows users) type in ipconfig (space)/release then type in ipconfig(space)/renew this should get a new IP number you might also be able to do this: type in ipconfig (space)/flushdns it should remove stuff associated with your computer at the roadrunner headquarters. I used to do this when having problems connecting, but it no longer allows me to use this command.
That exhausts the totality of my computer knowledge. Don't ask me for anything else - I got nothin'.

Just the type of person he is ... which is why he is call tyrannical king john. He does not tell the members what he has done. If anyone posts what he has done, the posts are removed. I feel sorry for any members that may even be left.

| I think I have been also banned. Guess nasty, but truthful answers by somebody with long years of riding are not appreciated by computer geeks who may not really ride much,etc This forum provides me with the info I need---right now main interest the new Givi adjustable windshield-----hopefully will solve long needed buffeting relief. I think the initial piece on the shield was very good. I don't think anybody has to be defensive about their purchase of SilverWing which is older design with solid performance and quite reliable. So...I cannot help that I got older, spent tons of money on bikes/scooter and the junk that you bolt on and can speak from experience when money didn't mean much to me....didn't get married until 65 and wonderful not to share. I share now. Not sharing I had the fun of over 75 new bikes/scooters and some used junk, too. John Grinsel |

I posted the other day on a way to still access his forum by using a technique called an anonymous proxy server (and it did work) but on checking this morning he has now blocked that access! UPDATE 2: I'm an idiot!I just re-checked access using Proxify and this time ticked the following little boxes:
- Remove all cookies
- Remove all scripts
- Remove ads
- Hide referrer information
Lo and behold, it does work; this proves:
- I'm bloody stupid ; and
- He's not as smart as I thought he was !

He can't be blocking IP's based on the same IP visiting here and .org ... Bigbird, Have a look at this website to see how IP addresses are read. I don't think he is getting them from visitors to this forum; he'd have to have spook skills and abilities . Typically, he would be running a "blacklist" as part of his firewall configuration. He just adds our IP addresses onto the blacklist. See Wikipedia page for more details. Regards, Peter |
