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?

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?
