yes, you've been banned.
i was banned a few months ago - i followed all the rules, had a strong thread that had 45,000 views. nice downloads.
that bitch rainbowspinner doesn't like to see individual threads doing well - she's banned a lot of ppl with better threads than mine.
i was posting ebooks.
she changed the rules so people can't have personal ebook threads anymore.
when you go to the site and can't get in you've been banned. as stated, clear your cookies, make new account - read the rules in case you were banned for a reason.
