Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. The most common causes of this issue are:

  • Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps.
  • If you are using the Maxthon browser, it may have been sending some extremely suspicious traffic to our site recently, to the point of our system identifying it as a spambot. We strongly recommend using an alternate browser while this activity continues.
  • Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine
  • Running a "scraper" or "downloader" program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection
  • Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content
  • Overusing our search engine with a very large number of searches in a very short amount of time
