TaigaNet trouble?
« on: April 13, 2011, 09:30:22 AM »
More than 50% of the time I try to log into the 4000 emulator msg boards, I keep getting these 403 forbidden or 504 errors saying that I am a malicious user, when I'm not. Does anyone know if Bill or someone on the admin team has an email I can reach so I can have them unban my IP addresses? If so please PM them to me, thanks.

PS:  Bye Taiganet, we'll miss you (not)

Apparently this was due to a user they were trying to permaban who kept uploading preview videos of version 3 of the emulator to YouTube:

I was getting errors aswell.

Someone must be desperate. :rolleyes:

I have never been a member of Taiganet, but it looks like that is the only "TWC Fan" forum that still has very tight security restrictions for guests.  I guess the admin (Bill?) has had some problems that TWCC and TWCT one experienced. :hmm:

I can't get in either. The site has been "temporary overloaded" for the last two days.

I got the same error, too but assumed it was an issue with my IP so I didn't think it was a site issue

Those forums are screwed up in so many ways. Here's my list of flaws:
  • Too locked down on security. It shouldn't be such a hassle to get onto the forums.
  • Their development team is extremely conservative with their work.
  • Some (not naming who) development team members have quite the attitude. I can think of a few things that I have been told, but I will not disclose it due to the fact that I will get banned here for having quite a colorful vocabulary. :bleh:
Yeah. Those forums aren't the best around...

I mean that they release it to their "veteran members" before everyone else. That was something I found pretty much unnecessary.  And then they keep trying to keep the program away from this Justin kid, and I am sure that's their whole  reasoning behind the enhanced security. And I also believe that you have to be a registered member with more than a certain amount of posts to download it. I just find all of this stuff to be unneeded.
Curt, you took the words right out of my mouth, couldn't agree more with what you said... :D
Glad you agree :happy:

Yah, the security is over the top. I understand wanting to keep the bad people out, but I think he goes a bit overboard. If that madden guy wants to get the program, he'll get it. Security doesn't matter if it also keeps the good people out. As far as the download goes, though, I really don't see what the big deal is in only letting legit members get it. And if the "older" members get it first, so what? I know, I'm an old timer, but I'd feel the same way even if I wasn't. It's no different than a company giving its repeat customers pricing lower than its one-time or casual customers.

Bill needs to learn to upgrade his forum. Yes, it may look like "the next Facebook," but you can disable those features. <_<

And, has anyone notice how he edits topics in tech support so they say 'I didn't read the important threads up top!"? :lol:

Honestly, that site has torn apart. If Bill doesn't care about his members thoughts on improving the forum, what is the point of coming there?
