Ya'll saw some of the stuff I was doing before with the new review site, but had to put it on hold due to IPB5. Well, it's out and I've been playing around with it in my test server. This stuff is pure raw native Invision and not just custom pages databases. It's truly built into the core system. And if you've scrolled this far... I've got one more thing... I wonder if anyone is gunna catch it.

The image itself that you used is tiny. https://www.companyofmen.org/uploads/monthly_2026_09/download.png.9b3d798fdc04acceb744067344ad99a0.png That's the actual image itself that was uploaded. As you can see, it's much smaller than the space used so the site tries to stretch it to fit the space which makes it blurry. @JamesB hit the nail on the head with the answer.

I'm going to make a general comment here. Some folks are pressing my patience. We've given alot of grace for folks. I'm close to just giving some folks extended 30-60 day timeouts. I'm going to skip the warnings and move to just a nice long time out. If you think this is targeted at you, then you're likely correct. I encourage you to think long and hard about how you interact on this site. We're all adults here... if you can't act like it, you won't be participating.

The IP address used to make this post also submitted a request claiming to be the provider saying this thread should be removed. Take it for what you will.

And we’re done… I’m half tempted to pass out warning points, but it’s Sunday and I’m trying to keep my blood pressure down. I’m going out for Bloody Marys and then to Johnson’s to look at something else. Y’all behave.

At a rate of 1000 per hour, it was a pass from me. Well outside of my comfort range. He was quick to respond via WhatsApp though.

I’m glad you got to the bottom of the problem!

Nothing has changed as far as I’m aware… I’m seeing updates and have not seen others mention anything but I can keep an eye out if there are others reporting similar issues.

I just cleaned up and hid a bunch of posts. Back on topic please. And at the end of the day, different strokes for different folks. Someone does not have to be your cup of tea to still be the world to someone else.

They most likely have blocked the specific VPN IP address you’re routing though. Try changing the VPN IP address.

I used to live in the DC metro area before I moved to south Florida so I know the area well. Made arrangements originally for Sunday evening with him but an hour before so he cancelled asking to reschedule for tomorrow. I accommodated the ask. The next day I met him as agreed. He matched his description and photos but I would not repeat. Was not engaging and the interaction felt more like interacting with a corpse. We did not even meet for the full hour (was back in the car after dressing and paying him after 45 min). Despite that, he tried to charge me 150 more than we agreed to.

For me, it has been the advent of AI. Being able to look at large volumes of data in different ways has been very helpful. In addition using it to challenge ideas/assumptions has been useful. AI while it can hallucinate has been a helpful tool to make me consider things I might not have otherwise considered. It has become a tool that I can use to ideate and to explore topics.

I happened to be back in DC for work and saw him while he was here. Had a great time. Very friendly and accommodating. We chatted via WhatsApp and worked out for him to stop by. Would see him again.

When you disable the VPN, what happens? Your phone is likely using a different Norton VPN endpoint. You should be able to have your VPN select a different IP address. If it works when you disable the VPN, my guess is the desktop is using an address that other Norton users did bad things on and you're taking the hit for it. Rotating the IP address should fix it.

Are you using some sort of VPN or proxy? Does this happen when you use a different browser? Different device? Have you tired clearing your cookies?

And we’re done.

OK. Enough. Back on topic. Any topics not directly related to the provider directly will be removed and timeouts issued. This will be the only warning. If you're not sure if the response is appropriate, it most likely is not and should be avoided.

Not true. I know the owner personally and know he is more interested in selling his two bars to move to Colombia full time. He’s not looking to make major changes at this time other than a potential exit strategy if it makes sense.

Saw him in FLL a little over a year ago. Really sweet guy and I enjoyed my time with him.

I know he’s reading this thread. He’s about to get himself put in ANOTHER pinned thread that will get ranked on Google.

Ultimately the question becomes how is the attacker gaining access to the account in the first place. If you change email addresses for example and your phone is compromised… the attacker will simply follow the chain and access the new account. For that email account, what are the various ways you access it? Are each of those ways secure? (No malware on your computer/phone etc) Do you have a way to enable more secure ways of accessing email such as two factor authentication or client certificates? That way even if they have your password they would need access to a trusted device to access the account.

What’s even scarier is the stuff that is not being talked about yet. I’m leaving an AI security conference in Vegas tomorrow and some of the things I’ve learned this week makes Mythos look basic/elementary.

I do the same.
