I don't know but I do know that every other forum (Fatwallet, Slickdeals, etc) including the pic sites (bbzzdd.com as well as apartment808) as well as about every other site that I used to visit during work has been blocked. Strangely, AT forums have not been blocked. This has happened in the last 25 days (as I was not here during that time).

There seems to be a number of people here suggesting TFNN.

Now, if its made up of a number of people here...why go there when we're already dialoging with you techie-types here? :confused: ;)

Welcome to websense (or whatever the shit it's called), be glad AT isn't blocked yet :). Probably because it's filed under tech sites, like ArsTechnica which you should still be able to get to.

TFNN is a different environment completely.

There are leaders, and there are followers.

Followers like to complain about what they use, or what they don't have - but don't do anything to fix it. You guys should band together and form your own forum. Its not hard. :p

Heck, if you tell me what you want, I'll do it.

I would have to agree.

Not to mention that the whole "build your own gaming PC" community that Anandtech caters to is dying off. I think the lack of good PC exclusive game titles can be blamed for that, and the release of more reasonably priced PC's from Dell and HP with decently powerful bundled video cards.
