 Guys,

 The intention was not to cut anyone off, but there were a lot of folk adding 44 networks
to gateways that had not been allocated to them, or indeed allocated at all. 
Of course that is because your view on "allocated" is different from
others'
I think any address that has an entry in the .ampr.org DNS is "allocated".
That it does not have an entry in your list of allocated subnets is a different matter.

...
    The whole point of the Portal is to document who has
been allocated (and is using) what IPs. So the gateway code has been updated to only allow
allocated networks to be added to gateways. 
I would have considered it better when the work on managing allocations (addresses and DNS
entries) had been finished first. But of course it is a hobby project so you can set your
own priorities.
