New member from MD

[Nick-A]

Let's try this again.
New member from Maryland, I have had a terrible time trying to join the forum.
While trying to sign up the 1st time,, I received a message that I was permanently banned BEFORE being approved and ever posting??
After a few weeks of emails, I was finally approved and made an intro post and a post in the centerfire forum,,, Then my entire profile and all posts disappeared, and I appeared locked out.
So this is a new profile AND I think the problem was that my router was going through a VPN.
I have the VPN off and believe that if I try to log in while the VPN is on I will be banned and my profile wiped?

Anyhow,
Longtime Deer hunter and shooter.
Bought my son a Henry H001 .22 a few years back,, and had an issue and Henry CS was GREAT,, they replaced my sons rifle with an UPGRADED rifle.
So now that MD allows SWC rifles in previous shotgun only deer hunting areas,, I am on the lookout for a .44 mag ,,
AND, looks like I will be ELK hunting in WY at least once a year,, so I will be picking up a 45-70.

(What is the best email to get a live person if I run into any more problems with my forum account? I am concerned that my account will be wiped if I forget to have the wife disable the VPN before I log on.

Hi Nick, welcome! I use a VPN every now and then, and have not had an issue. Hopefully, the situation with your profile will get worked out soon.

Welcome aboard, you should be fine now that your IP address has been registered. Turning on the VPN shouldn’t cause any problems on this end.
Your previous posts deleted was an error on my part I fat fingered a small icon. My apologies and appreciation that you came back to start over.
The problem with these vpn systems is that some of them are very popular with online scammers. The one you use happens to be one that is identified as very high risk. Many of its customers come from countries that are hostile to to the Western Hemisphere.
I am the guy who locked you out until we could be reasonably sure that you weren’t a risk. Sorry for the frustration caused but it is my responsibility to protect the interests of the forum. I have no safe way of contacting potential scammers without exposing myself to possible risk from them.
The forum email contact that you have been using is the best one for you to use. The owner is the guy who reads them.
Again welcome aboard or maybe I should say welcome back..

Welcome to the forum. We take security serious and if my memory is right you are the first person banned that has followed through to get reinstated.

I have several H001’s and shoot them often.

No problem SeeBee,
This "profile" is one I signed up for when I could not get the original one approved. The approval for this one came in right about when the original one "disappeared"
I kinda had a feeling it may be the VPN giving me problems, so I logged in to with profile after turning the VPN off.

I completely understand on the security. I prefer a secur place with a few hurdles over a spamfest any day.
I am going to keep this "profile" ,, how do I go about removing the other?

Currently, I am logged in with the VPN off,
Are you sure if I turn it on, the forum software wont flag this profile as coming from a suspect IP address?

Thanks,
Nick

My problem is,, I f found both right away.
I think the wife would kill me if I bought 2) $1000 guns at one time.

I think I will be picking up the .44 Color Case carbine (H012GRCC) 1st,, "If" I can swap a Pistol grip stock on to it .
