I really wonder why you did not click, John... You could have been over it already. That email will land in my inbox.

Please, try again and unless you get a 503 error (which is issued if you wanted to force connection too many times), you should be fine now.

Further info: due to extremely many scraping, hacking and spamming attempts, we decided to install a software: http://www.spambotsecurity.com/zbblock.php

Now this obviously gives some false positives and we need to fine tune it to work properly and not block our legit members. That's why that "ticket" is provided.
