- You requested a very large number of pages in a very short time, causing problems for our server (this can happen if you hit 'refresh' over and over).
- You could have been banned by mistake; sometimes our automated banning policies are too strict and some IP addresses are banned by accident. If you don't think that you've done anything to warrant a ban, this is most likely the case.
- You (or someone with the same IP address as you) might be using a script or program to download pages from this site automatically. This is forbidden by our terms of service.
- You might have a buggy browser extension installed. Did you install a browser extension (such as Realplayer/Realdownloader) that helps you download YouTube videos or other content? If so, you'll need to disable it when using this site, as it spams the websites you visit with fake requests.
- You might be using a VPN. If you are using a VPN, and other users of the same VPN are abusing the service, then you'll be automatically banned as well. There's not much we can do about this right now; you'll have to turn off your VPN in order to continue using the site. We are hoping to eventually work on a solution for this when we have the resources to do so.
- Your computer may be infected with malware or spyware that is making automated requests to our server and causing problems.
- Firefox users: There is a bug in Firefox versions 50-54 which is causing the browser to DOS our site with hundreds of thousands of false requests. If you're seeing this often and are using Firefox, try using a different browser until version 55 is released.
