It is not easy to counsel you not knowing who you are/were or where any possible offense may have taken place. If it was in the chat rooms, it is quite a different matter than being banned from the forums. If you were banned from he forums, first thing is, it is against the rules to create another account, so that right there is not in your favor, although I am not sure how else you could talk to the site owner or the active mod without doing so. Being banned from the chat rooms may be a temporary thing that only las a few days, but please do not quote me on that, as I am not a chat room frequenter at all. I have heard, though, that it is not necessarily mods who do the banning in chat rooms, but the people who are there, being that if three want you gone, they have the power to oust you if three make that move. That may be why it is temporary, if that is the case. Have you checked the user2user tech support threads to see if your issue is covered there?
