ban on isohunt?

Is anybody else getting this on www.isohunt.com?

I'm not a member but based on what I see from the forum is that it's a private torrent site, which means you have to upload an equal ammount of data to your download stream or you'll get banned. Maybe that's what happened.

Isohunt has been through some trouble lately, if I remember correctly they changed ISP's and moved to Canada or something, maybe it's just a database fuckup during the change
