I had 'Error 403: forbidden' from Spain for some days two weeks ago. I do not remember the exact dates, but it was something like August 8th to August 11th.

Regards from Spain.

The algorithm to block people changes from time to time to give any participant the chance to enjoy the feeling of beeing spilled out of the community.

A few times in the last couple of months I have not been able to see the forum when clicking on my firefox bookmark for it.
Afer trying again a few times without success I gave up.
I tried again later and had the same problem, so I went to my firefox history list and clicked on a page in the forum that I had viewed ok the previous day. That got me into the forum and all was normal afterwards. I could navigate as I wanted to.
The next time I got locked out, I used the same trick again to get in.
I checkout the forum nearly everyday and rarely have any problems.
