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.

i did not get stung, but i watch and fixed people who got stung...

if i wanted to id just use a forgotten term server (been listed as decomed  for 3 years) i know all the people who still use it, but as i said pda net and a personal laptop, if anything were to happen it would not hurt any of my clients.

and as ive mentioned above its been about 2 years or more since vgc had that rash of badness

suprising number of people used vgc accross the companies ... though at this point people should not surprise me anymore....

calling in the middle of the night on a honeymoon cause they can not reach a server .... learned she was in hawaii

really nothing better to do that night? 

… though if she had checked her email she would have known planned maintenance
