websense or whatever declares this a "games" site :(
It didn't like the buzztime site at first, but eventually it did. Now, I've just got to remember which IT guy plays the game elsewhere. :?

Sadly, it is the same for the Exelon site at which I work... Thankfully, the phpbb format of this site is quick and easy to navigate on my phone. (Much easier than the BT forums actually...)

I can tell you quite a few ways to still get on from work, but you'd probably be risking termination if you did them.

Exactly right Dante. Someone recently received a stern warning for "backdooring" Facebook to play Mafia wars. This site is great, but not quite worth risking joblessness... I was very happy when I became able to access Buzztime while at work... Apparently the mere switch from 'players.buzztime.com' to 'buzztime.com/players' was enough to slip through the cracks.

Well, they couldn't figure out what you were doing, other than know you were tunneling to another location. But that is enough to get you canned in a lot of places.

'course, I find the entire idea of automated web filtering to be moronic.
