I am locked out of Chapala.com????

Has anyone here got an "access denied by website owner" ban from Chapala.com? I checked it today and get a security lock showing my isp, other computer info, and saying website owner banned me. Funny thing is, I haven't posted anything there for at least for two years, as I recall. I didn't sign out from my last visit a week ago. I've posted about 25 times in the 8 years during the 8 yrs I've lived here. Just curious. I use the same name there.

I heard they are having technical difficulties. Both my husband and I are "banned" also.

The last two comments were merged from another post that was started.

Well, I guess we finally got banned someplace on the internet, even if it's just technical.  Thanks!

Please read the postings previous to your own......All will be revealed.

Hum de hum de hum de hum de hum...SIGH...guess "the other board" has a major problem. I am twiddling my thumbs, and nothing is happening. Heretofore, TOB managed to get back online in a day, mas o menos. Time to rethink this. [a] Perhaps they could use some help? [b] On the other hand, Bob, maybe you are the future of webboards here. Are you ready???

I told you, the owner is sick of MC and is closing it down. Good move Richard.

REALLY?

Locked out also and have never written anything on that site. I really don't care,

We have always been the future of webboards. Are you ready??

I was sooooo disappointed that I didn't get "kicked off the web board". I've tried to remove my profile: impossible they say. I thought maybe they did a review on all my posts and on average decided i was too much of a smart-ass. And here I find ZI wasn't "singled out"! hilarious

Maybe they haven't paid their bill?

With a little searching, I discovered that the sponsor now has a new website for their real estate offerings; one with a new web address. It does not have a web board option, and was just started in July, 2017.
So........I am beginning to think that TOB is dead and gone; killed and buried, never to rise again.

Hmmm. What's the name of the new website for the real estate sponsor? You may have nailed this one; if so, kudos!

Here is what I found, and it is up and running now:

Ajijic - Lake Chapala Real Estate "Coldwell Banker Chapala Realty"
www.cb.chapala.com/
Offers information on real estate sales, rentals and expatriate living in Chapala, Ajijic and Lake Chapala Area.

Yep, I found it too. Question: did the old site refer to the Chapala.com web board? As you said, this one doesn't.

Then go to by clicking on www.chapala.com and then part way down on the left side you will see info about CB Chapala .com, in the center you will see info about the Ojo del Lago and on the  right hand side of the webpage the comments about the weboard and the classifieds.

Just for fun, I switched to my VPN and went over to the google search and pulled up the site name.  Sure enough, it showed up like normal and all the threads were listed BUT the last posting was on Saturday.  Nothing since.  So, I clicked on "new post" and got the lockout page.  I hear a faint death rattle.

Just speculating: The owners may have come to the conclusion that any newbie reading it lately would conclude that the area is rife with cranky, contentious people and that would discourage real estate sales. Ya think?

Yep I'm locked out and in US so haven't been on any site for ages.

Toldja

It's fixed now.

Shucks!
