Dieselram.com

I recently got a new computer, and just tried to get into dieselram.com, and got a message that it was forbidden, that I did not have permission to enter on this server. What is that all about?

  • What's going on technically is they've built a list of IP addresses of their members, and are blocking access from other IPs.

    What's going on socially is kind of weird, keeping the riff-raff out, but in a way that means they will not acquire any new members, unless they've set up an alternative screening mechanism.

    Not every site on the World Wide Web is open to the public (but what's the point of being on the WWW?).

    Not every Internet domain is a site on the WWW. If other protocols are in use, a web site may be set up to reject all WWW probes.
  • I thought they wouldn't let me in because I made a comment supporting guns (in principle)
    I was just trying to get on when I came across this post

  • I just went there and they had posted a message about trying to keep the riff raff out.

    Lol
    Must be having server problems.
  • Funny, I got the same message when i just went to that site with my tablet.
  • They're probably having an issue with their server.
