How to restore blocked IP to enable login to XHTML CHAT?

I am repetitively failing to login with any user name for XHTML Chat.
Here is some info I copied from view source:
Link: http://www.shiachat.com/forum/chat.html

javascript:Chat=void(window.open('http://www.shiachat.com/forum/chat.html','Chat','resizable=1,status=1,width=800, height=620,top=0,left=0'))
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Please note that passoword is not required to login and we can login
without it. I think they have blocked my IP so that I should not be
able to login again!. I have used all commands of Java Console (Java
Plug-in 1.5.0_06
Using JRE version 1.5.0_06 Java Hotspot(TM) Client VM

Moreover I have run cycles of CCleaner and at command prompt
(start>run>cmd>enter) type netsh winsock reset then pressed enter
to reset/rebuild tcp/Ip stack and settings. Then rebooted computer but
failed to login and the chat link is taking me to their home page of
forum.

How Can I fix this issue?

If so, then how is your post about authoring HTML for the Web (which is
what this newsgroup is about)?

If the site is blocking your IP, how does anybody but the people running
the site know what you can do about it?

Don't validate it. It's not valid XHTML, so it's going to fail.

Bhaiyyah,

I believe the errors that you see above are because the page is HTML,
but you tried to validate it as XHTML. Since there is no DOCTYPE, the
validator followed your request and tried to validate it as XHTML.

I don't see anything wrong with the page, though I didn't validate it.

I had no trouble logging on to the site with a dummy ID and blank password.

As already suggested, you could try contacting the folks at shiachat.com
and see if they can help.
