This forum is blocked in work!
Guy's,
Yesterday whilst in work I tried to access this forum from work and found it blocked according to the company's internet usage policy
They block sites like facebook and friendster, Yahoo but not MSN? Obviously anything pornographic or even mildly rude is also blocked. But I was a little shocked to see this ste on their list of blocked sites!
You can setup a domain (random name HGYGSV.CO.UK and just put one page on it that contains nothing more than a frame with this forum in it, that way the firewall will only see a blank page and not block it

Just a thought, maybe they think that when you are at work you should be working !
Or try this http://www.emailjunk.co.uk/
All they see is
Code:<html> <head> </head> <frameset cols="100%"> <frame src="http://filipinaroses.com/"> </frameset> </html>

This sort of comment implies that a worker is permitted by their employer to use the work place computer for their personal use.- If that is so, surely the easy way to get/recover access to a site is to ask the employer/web master to re-instate it.
When I started work in the 1950's to take small items from work, a pencil, ballpoint pen, some envelopes etc was considered by most people to be theft and people were prosecuted from time to time. I get the impression now that most employees believe they have a right to take some things or use their employers time for their own purpose and that most would accept this as normal and in no way dishonest.
In saying this here I am not pointing the finger at any posters just commenting in general.

... or, to take this concept a [ridiculous] stage further ... albeit not work-related:
On one occasion when I accompanied my son-in-law to a Tesco superstore in Aberdeen's outskirts, I left him to scout around for what he needed while I'd a glance through some of the magazines on display on the newspaper stands.
I was flabbergastedwhen he rebuked me, saying, "You DO realise that that's tantamount to STEALING? ... !". "In what WAY?", I asked him ... to which he replied: "Reading a book, paper or magazine without paying for it, amounts to nothing less than petty THEFT ... theft of newsprint!"
I do what I want at work, I just tell the boss toI always thought YOU were da boss, Keith!
Hence doing what I want

Nah... Doesn't work
In that case rather than blocking sites, it would appear they have a list of sites you can access, along with a keyword list. Which basically blocks most things that are not work related.

Yeah, possibly. Big company with and internal intranet... Oh well, thanks for trying Keith
i've had enough, so
i'm installing vnc on my pc at home, and will access the forum from work thru my pc at home, as my pc at home is on 24/7
to the
who block sites like this, its not a dating site
I live in Spain and had my email account on Telefonica, that like BT for Spain.
On a visit to UK I was refused access to the telefonica site when I tried to check my emails. The message said it was a porn site.
It took several calls to the Town Hall to get their computers re-programed so that I could get access.
Sorry,this has only a very loose connection with this string, but when did that stop any of us adding out tuppence worth !
If you speak to the IT dept they can allow site access during certain times like lunch, so may be worth asking them. They can only tell you to

so do i,but never to his face!I do what I want at work, I just tell the boss to
and why you trying to use the internet?...get back to work,i work all day without a break honest i never take any chance i get to do nothing but work?
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
I did just that and retired a couple of years earlier that I was due to ! (on a full ill health pension, as sightly crazy! )
Some companies also block the ports used by VNC and RDP to stop employees accessing computers that are outside the local intranet.i've had enough, so

Yeah, all sorts mentioned above are considered stealing... Believe me, in our company lots of random stuff are disappearing, from paperclips, pencils, tape dispensers, to staplers AND EVEN TOILET ROLLS!!! They are even stealing time from the company (Too much tea breaks, talking etc etc)!!
Smoke breaks should be deducted from people's wages.

I definitely agree with you here!! Also, to add we have a LUNCH VAN that comes round at 10ish, because it's not on a LUNCH BREAK, people wouldn't expect to make up the TIME or to take less lunch break!!!
