Why is my IP address banned from aja-aja?

For those who are at aja-aja, why was my IP address banned? I don't recall breaking their rules, i didn't request anything or said anything mean about the moderators. I simply go there to check out new stuff or download them...erm what have i done wrong? I hope its okay to ask my question here, if not please move this thread to somewhere more appropriate...thanks in advance

What do you mean by ban? you cant dl anything from there?

One trick that worked for me is to click on the ads to maintain their sites.. It also act as an 'indicator' to MU to allow you to dl.. (unless you are a premium user)

Hope this helps

Happy dling Big Smile

WHen i type in the website, this is the message i get...Sorry, my IP address # has been banned. i don't get anything else... Sad

I swear i haven't done anything offensive, i go to aja-aja to look at the dramas they have, downloading them sometimes, but i dont' do anything else on that site or on others. If you can help, i will really appreciate it.

Instead of posting here - why don't you email them direct & ask

myaigoo@gmail.com

If your IP starts with a 173...We had to ban the 173 IPs cause one person was spamming the site and after numerous warnings, she continued to do so.

So, for right now, we are manually allowing certain IP's...please email us at myaigoo@gmail.com so that we can look it over. Don't forgot to include your IP address. Thanks.

I just sent a third email with my ip address. I didn't know you needed it. Yes I am in the dreaded 173...why would someone ruin it for others? Hope to resolve this soon

Yes, unfortunately it is always one bad apple that spoils the rest but we got flooded by 173s

Ah! Makes so much sense now. I also found my IP was banned when I tried to get on today. I was afraid I had done something wrong, and then had a feeling that someone at D-A would know Smile

thanks for opening up this thread. i haven't gone to the aja-aja website in days and i tried a few minutes ago and my IP address was banned as well. i sent them an e-mail and hopefully the ban will be lifted soon and this problem can be resolved.

For those who were banned because their IP address was 173, are you unbanned already? I sent my email to aja-aja, but no response and i'm still banned Sad

We read every email individually but a lot of email DOES NOT give IP address just a note that says "unban me please". It's like going to the post office n say mail this letter to New York without an address so we cannot do much...

I want to give more info why I ban on a personal blog that I (we) upload for FREE at my time for others to come and download
and gets messages like this - "unban me! I want to dl dramas!",

Right.....

Perhaps you could write a detailed document explaining the reasons for the ban. In the document please include a list of all the IP address ranges that have been banned. The document should be updated regularly, so that people are aware of any IP addresses that you unban. Also, ideally there would be a section in the document explaining the technical concepts involved, for the sake of those who do not understand what an IP address is. Furthermore, the downsides of banning solely by IP address should be explored in detail. The document should be available in Word 97-2003, Word 2007, and PDF formats. For the sake of those still using dial-up, a plain-text version of the document without images should also be made available. In place of images there should be descriptive text to indicate the content of the missing images. The document should be featured prominently on every page of aja-aja.com. If a user with a banned IP address attempts to visit aja-aja.com, they should be directed to a location where they can obtain the document. You should also visit every other online drama forum and blog in order to inform others about the document.
