Ive been away from the game for about 3 months and ive just started playing again today but i cant seem to get on these and a couple other servers it just says "Host refused". no ones been playing the game while ive been away so im out of ideas on what could be the problem

any ideas?

You've been banned i guess

Why do people have "glad/proud to be banned from redline racing" in their signatures?

It's because they went through a stage of banning anyone they didn't like, or who was faster than them. I don't know if they're still like that, but their poor server management alienated a lot of people beyond repair. I have no idea if I'm banned as I don't click on their servers whenever I do make it online, but it wouldn't surprise me.

You've most likely been banned. Redline enjoys banning people (including quite a few like myself who have been banned for daring to criticise them on the forum rather than for on server conduct). I'd suggest you stick well clear of them anyway the racing isn't that clean on their servers anyway.

They block banned everyone who had expressed criticism for them on the forum following their refusal to acknowledge that the actions of one of their admins was completely ridiculous in a replay posted on the forum (IIRC it consisted of said person taking out someone, then blaming and banning them before continuing to issue multiple bans to anybody who tried to defend the victim).

The best bit is, I got banned for telling them to take there arguements out of the begginner forum as its not nice for a new person to see it. Great isnt it!

Ok im not going to feed the anti redline trolls but,

It seems you were banned by mr ATC quicksilver (not a member of redline) for using his teams (ATC) skin. So nothing to do with redline racing.

Please make a post on our forums about this and im sure your ban will be lifted.
