I've been using t35 for a few years now, but have mostly remained ignorant to how the site actually works.  I use my account to upload cursors and icons that I have made and wish to allow others to download (this doesn't seem to violate the ToS) so I've just kept it as simple as possible. ( ramdonperson.t35.com )

however today I finally noticed that I can't do anything with the .ico (Icon files, for windows) anymore.  I can't rename, delete, or upload them (i even tried using the java upload without knowing much about it, that didn't seem to work either).  I'm sorry if there was an update a while ago and i missed it.  Could someone please explain to me what's going on?  Thanks!

We temporarily had them blocked because of extreme amounts of abuse, but they should be available to use again later today.

Write scripts that use ico files (which aren't really ico files) to inject viruses. With all the security these days people are starting to get really creative with this stuff.
