When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it. If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers. IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse.

It is not based on GameWinners and features a member base that is diverse beyond our GameWinners family, but if you would like that forum-based contact once again, feel free to join Apollo's website at If you'd like to join in on either of these communities, you can find us at:Īlternatively, former Community Administrator Apollo has opened up his own website to GameWinners members who would like a forum-based community to participate in. Some of our members have decided to keep the community together, in a sense, by creating groups on Reddit and Facebook in order to stay in contact with one another, as well as a Discord server.

I Still Need Game Help, What Can I Do?Īs gaming and the internet have changed so radically over these years, so too have the ways in which people get help for their gaming needs. While we're sorry to close the doors, we look back with a very big smile at what we all accomplished in those 17 years together. Truly, it has been a great ride to witness, and it is a great loss to lose it. It served as a meeting ground, a help platform, a playground, a private place to converse with like-minded individuals, and a staple for so many over the years. We thank everyone who participated for making the Community one of the best on the internet. The Community has also ceased operations after 17 years of memories formed, friendships forged, relationships cemented, and connections made. Sadly, the changing nature of gaming has seen a change in focus away from cheat codes and text-based game guides, and as such has become less relevant over time. We have enjoyed serving your gaming needs over these past 22 years and thank each and every one of you for being a part of our journey. It is with a deep sense of sadness that we announce that has ceased operations as of October 17th, 2017.
