That sucks, how much do they block? Was it because of your previous browsing?

I emailed that screenie home and posted it.

Sometimes they get real block happy, and start blocking stuff like ign, and gamespy. But sports fans can browse ESPN all day long. That ercks me a bit. Im hoping they unblock it though. I dont think its because of MY browsing. Sometimes though I wonder if they check my logs, and those of my teammates to find stuff to block. I might try nd file an exception request and say the site is related to my job function...

I remember when they pulled that crap in Highschool. I managed to fix the problem for myself by using a proxy server.

I remember in high school they tried this crap. I just got the admin password and took the entire filter off, worked for me :) But I did not check myself or anyone else out of school with the stuff I got into ;)

Dude, that suxx0rz. Sounds like the ISA Server Nazi's are tightening their grip once more. They use to only block addy's that started with "forum' and other questionable sites. Hey... I haven't heard from you in a while, PM me or something.

w00t! they unblocked it guyz!! I figured they would. I kind of braught it up in a conversation with the isa folks, and they originally blocked it because it was classified as "chat" but I think they realize that tech chat really does fall within the ranks of the job function.

But who knows if there was even that much thaught involved. Anyways Im glad to have it back!
