    So I tried creating an account here, but I just end up getting an error
    51 when I click on the registration link.

    That is strange. Did you try without /s/Nym, as it should be?

    Both seem to link to the same place, but yeah. I wonder if they've
    silently blacklisted my VPN under the guise of an error 51 as a spam
    prevention measure. Maybe I'll try bypassing the VPN, but that's a bit
    of a pain due to my setup.

    I'd contact the admin, but I can't seem to find their contact info
    outside of ditect messaging them on the system itself... which doesn't
    help me if I can't create an account.

    There was a post by the admin a couple years ago about shutting down registrations because of spam* and to contact them by email or fedi to
    request registration, but for the life of me, I can't find those
    addresses. I figured my best shot was asking in the place where I heard
    about it.

    * though that appears to have since been resolved

    I can post there that you get this error via VPN, if that helps.

    I don't conclusively know that the VPN is the culprit, but it might add additional context to the problem. FWIW, the apparent source IP in
    question would be 23.234.84.45.
