The kicker? That is the first time I've visited the website. (The other tab is a wayback machine page after I was IP banned for some reason).
What's worse than that? This, that proves that who coded the system is an absolute moron.
Seriously, this is the dumbest thing I've heard for quite a while. The fact that the person who made ZB block thinks this is acceptable is even more funny. Like seriously, think about it: What if someone decided to ban all people who use Internet Explorer 6 just because it is old and there's a theory it doesn't even work anymore and all people who use it are all spambots and blah blah blah,
zaphod is too lazy to do the research because

, blah blah blah.
Tune in next time on the show of supreme stupidity where we see
zaphod (apperently the creator of ZB Block) trying to create a lawsuit to arrest people that play a Atari in 2015 just because it is old! :specialed:
Before you ask, I have read zaphod's official explanation to this issue. Here it is:

It means that there are no windows 95 machines that can access the net anymore since they went to random port DNS. This was done to stop domain spoofing/dns server stuffing.
Microsoft never updated the Windows 95 TCP/IP stack to handle random port DNS, thus, any machine identing itself with that string, is actually a bot with a B.S. User agent.

This is my vendetta against those who spammed, and hacked me.

There's a reason 95 is blocked, and 98 is not. It's actually a very pure reason...
When DNS was updated to prevent the Kaminsky Vulnerability, Windows 98 and up were updated to the new protocol. Windows 95's TCPIP stack was not updated...
Thus anything announcing as Windows 95, is patently false.
So basically, if a user
ever identifies themselves as using Windows 95, they deserve to be IP banned.

This doesn't even consider the fact that many,
many people that use Windows 95 still can connect to the internet. Again, please do your research developers, it's not that difficult.
