To all promoters who use our site regularly:
Several promoters have been getting 403 errors when they go to the CFR site. In order to prevent this from happening in the future, I need your help. Please go to the following page, then send me the IP address that it shows, so I can add you to the "ALLOW" block on the server.

p.s. If you're not comfortable with sending the FULL ip address, just sent me the first 3 couplets... i.e., if your IP is 68.145.23.201, just send me 68.145.23 My thanks in advance.

p.p.s. We already KNOW who the promoters are, so spammers - FORGET IT!

Due to my chemotherapy, it's been several weeks since I visited http://contemporaryfusionreviews.com My last chemo session will be on the 8th of September, and I am preparing for a "re-start" right after my birthday on 21 September, 2022.

When I visited the site this morning, I was surprised to see a virus warning, and several other errors cropping up on the website. After some research, I discovered the cause (a hacker inserting a script into a file), and believe I have it corrected now.

I'd appreciate it if you would visit the site and tell me if you encounter any errors like that... if not, excellent... but if you do, please REFRESH the page to release it from cache, then go back to the site again... if you still encounter errors, please send me an email ([email protected]) to let me know what the errors were.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out!
