GBATemp IP Address Blocking

[BullyWiiPlaza]

So I started using some VPN client and it appeared that all IP addresses provided are blocked from accessing GBATemp. I haven't seen any other site doing this, lol. It gets quite annoying to toggle it on and off just for this site but I guess nothing will be done due to spamming and whatnot.

Yeah it's necessary since a shit ton of spammers would come over here and start advertising russian car insurance.

I haven't seen any other site doing this, lol.

If its on the stop forum spam blacklist then several hundred thousand other websites are doing this, lol.

As far as I recall you block *any* VPN, regardless of shitlist status? ever since you got taken offline by some hacker a couple of years back?
