    Blocked from scraping

    I got blocked from statsheet.com for scraping their website... whenever I try to access their site from any different url I get a "forbidden" message. Is their a simple way around this?

    hawg, have you tried writing to the admin guys? Sometimes it's some automatic thing and they'll unblock you. It seems that site would want you to scrape as they advert for writers and I would assume using their stats.
