A few days ago I could get on this site no problem but now my ip address seems to be blocked and can't access the site except on work computer or cell phone data plan. Has this happened to anyone else ?

As a former [other] forum administrator, the fight to keep spammers at bay would be a full time job, with LOTS of overtime, if not for a few tools made available to us. One of the tools automatically blocks IP addresses that have been reported as spammers. If the computer you had trouble on uses DHCP to assign the IP, it's possible that someone on the same server has been being an arse.
