yep, but thats what pda net and a laptop are for.

the site was really bad for malware/virus a few years back it got flagged, and because of what the site is it wont be unflagged.... (its flagged across 8 of the 9 corporate networks i have access to)

It's only been blocked at my work for the last week. Prior to that I could access all parts of the site, but couldn't reply in threads. No evidence of malware in the entire time I've been coming to VGC.

So you tried to get a little honey and you got stung?  Well thats a lesson for you.

Anyway there are like 3 dozen web proxies like www.hidemyass.com which hide your identity. Alternatively you can get VPN set up with your home PC.

Apt metaphor there. Not just me though. Loads of entertainment oriented websites I rarely visitare blocked, but a couple of websites I visit frequently (like Rotten Tomatoes, boxoffice mojo) are blocked.
