A few days ago all access to peakoil.com was blocked from my ip address. I can still login to my account via anonymous web browsing. Here's the message received when accessing any page on the site:

Hi,
I've notified admin. It may be a cloudflare thing.

I noticed HVACman commented on peakoilbarrel that he was unable to sign in as well.

I get the "forbidden" message from time to time. I laid to the quirks of my internet hook up through the phone lines. It usually goes away in an hour or so.

vts - your IP is not blocked, I'm sorry to say it's a networking issue.
a little history - years ago peakoil.com got hacked repeatedly and got a ton of .gov and .mil traffic
a few years back, i put in place cloudflare's proxy and moved our server to locked-down bare-metal
today, you can ONLY access peakoil if your go through the cloudflare proxy
and non-cloudflare traffic gets : " 403 forbidden " messages.
people have problems with this setup since your DNS must resolve peakoil.com to cloudflare proxy.
Fixes to this issue:
1) reboot PC and or modem
2) use google's DNS servers 8.8.8.8
3) try a different computer or internet connection
when we move servers again, I will attempt to put in place a more permanent solution.

keep it going Dan!

Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.
Just think it through.
