Lol, no! Heres the story:
During my move I had to access Anandtech from my uncle's computer and not knowing that AOL cant be used to log into the site I proceeded to log in and saw that my credentials were invalid. So I thought maybe I HAD been banned for some reason and requested a password reset just in case. I checked my mail, got the new password, and again proceeded to log in and saw the same message. Thats when I read about the AOL thing and when I finally got to use a different ISP at my brothers house a week later, Comcast had just erased my email account since they dont do state to state account transfers. I forgot to change my password from the one that Anandtech sent me which the average person wouldnt be able to remember and couldnt check my email anymore so I pretty much had to create a new account. So no I wasnt banned!

UUNet is headquartered in Virginia, and "is one of the industry's oldest
and largest Internet Service Providers."
In May of 1993, the National Science Foundation released a solicitation to accommodate and promote the commercialization/privatization of the Internet (NSF93-52). This document mandated the creation of four Network Access Points (NAPs), which were sold via closed bid to the following providers:
Owner Name Location
Sprint Sprint NAP / NY-NAP Pennsauken, NJ
Pacific Bell PacBell NAP San Francisco, CA
Ameritech AADS NAP Chicago, IL
MFS MAE-E NAP Vienna, VA
Oh, and let's not forget that horrible Internet Disservice Provider, AOL, is also headquartered in Virginia.
I know you were teasing, though.
