Yeah, they keep a lockdown on the internet connection. It sucks. Normally I wouldn't complain, but there are times during the day where there is literally nothing to do and the forums would help kill a few minutes.

proxy around it.

Some guy did that with another website. He got caught and fired as a result, I'm not gonna risk it.
Heh, I made a thread a while back about proxying, as I was annoyed I couldn't get a particular site at work. I proxied once to load it and then had the realization that if the network guys caught me doing it I'd get nailed, so I didn't bother doing it again :)

Ah, the AT effect.

Seriously, if you are in an IT job, there is a good argument that this place is a viable tool for reference and such.
