I just started at comcast and both byoac.com and arcade controls.com are blocked.  You fellah working on a work around or am I limited to posting from home?
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Yeah, websense does not block the forum, just the main page.

According to their lookup tool, we're categorized as "games" which seems accurate enough. I don't see that we have any grounds to challenge them on it.

I managed the web content filters at my last job - BYOAC is on most lists as "games." No way around it unless you have an insider in the I.T. department or administer the servers yourself  ;)

Most likely dumb question, but...

Why would comcast block your surfing habits? Or is this a connection at your work?
