so it seems that one of the security measures to help prevent spam and other bad bots was also blocking ipv6 users from the site...
my bad!!!!
which sucks because now I can't use that mod until they, if they decide to update it to work with ipv6
and as I know not everyone is tech savvy and doesn't know how to disable ipv6 on your device, I will just leave the security mod off for the time being.
So um.....

to all who may have visited the forum and gotten the "Database Error" page....no the site wasn't down but the bouncer blocked you from entering....
