I was told by other admins that VPNs aren't against the rules, I'd played the first time fine on it. But sure, if that's what you really need. It's whatever. I can play without a VPN. Aurora is old and you don't hear much drama about it. At first I assumed you guys denied my appeal for some weird and awful reason, because I assumed it'd get sorted after a week or something. Luckily I bookmarked this.
Mind if I ask why I'm getting the special rule JUST for me? I get that the idiot who used a few of the IPs in that VPN was a wanker and got a lot of them banned, I'm not going to use this specific VPN anymore for other servers. If I do, its on my ass anyway, not going to become a weekly thing. But just once? Yeah cmon, don't leave me hanging over nothing.
The reason I use a VPN is simple: I don't want to touch the whole spaceman dramabus special needs mins leaking or threatening via discord pm to leak information unless you r-r-r-roleplay with them (True story) or just attacking players on their way out. I've had a server host try to ddos me years ago to a spectacular failure. But I won't give them the satisfaction of naming them. It's sort of like an obligatory condom to me now that the quality of BYOND's hub has been taking a steady dive over the years. Turning from a once sweet and fun loving hobby to the equivalent of a back alley hooker.
But I don't wanna give up on her yet, not even with all those needle tracks and those cold, dead eyes that stare back at me and say 'No vpn'
She'll clean up eventually, r-right?
