What follows is my email to isaac- head admin or ecelica.com if he replies, which I hope he does, I'll post that here to. Hopefully it'll be productive being publically watched.

hey isaac, whats happening dude?

Honestly man, it used to be my old account (shidarin)  and suddenly the behavior that effected that account happens on my new account (shid) along with all posts by this new account being deleted. Hmm...

Lets review.

1) I joined the site as Shidarin
2) On the second day all requests for everythingcelica.com from my IP address are rerouted to everythingcelica.cm - which obviously doesn't connect.
3) I connect  with a proxy server- which lets me spoof another IP address.
4) After one or two uses, that proxy server's IP address becomes rerouted to everythingcelica.cm

This  is where I emailed you, and you emailed back saying that it was obviously my fault, and you hadn't banned anyone- and my account is fine. You also asked what a proxy server is.

5) over a month passes- with me having to switch proxy servers usually once a day just to login and read your site.
6) One day I login to find that while logged in- I can no longer see/read or post to any forums except your website discussion forum. They just don't appear when I'm logged in- but appear fine when I'm logged out.
7) I post a "HELP ME!" thead in that forum.
8) the next day, I can no longer see any forums at all. When I login, the forum list has 0 forums. zero.
9) I PM you, telling you about the problem, and you deny it. Spouting that I obviously haven't been  banned.
10) I PM you back asking you to PLEASE try and login as me (I even give you my password)- so that in your wise and infinite wisdom you can tell me what I'm doing wrong so that everytime I login- no forums appear for me
11) For some reason, you never reply.
12) I give up.

13) Months later I'm putting together a 6th gen Celica calendar and would like to make a post at ecelica.com . I check my account and see it's still FUBARed. I make a new account- using my 2nd of 2 legit email addresses. The new account's name is Shid .
14) Account creation goes fine- when I login with my  new account I can see and post to every forum.
15) I switch to my old account, and all the forums disappear
16) I conclude (for the 16th time) that this is not my problem, and is something server side.
17) I make a very friendly post about the calendar, informing people how to submit, etc. In the 6th gen forum
18) CID498 asks me what my old name was, I tell him
19) 2 days later, i find my new account to be not displaying any forums, and my post about the calendar removed.

Either you know about this, or you don't have any of the mods on your site under control- and don't care about it. Which is it? Because while I no longer care to surf your site- it's a little annoying to have to create a new username everytime I want to make a friendly, community wide post like the calendar post.

and "nothing has been done to your account you have never been banned" is not a valid response, since obviously things have been done to my account- in hopes of getting a real answer this email is being publicly updated. Thanks.

Regards,
