    For some reason now my work internet filter blocks BHC where it never did before. Did the classification change or something?

    This sucks hairy donkey balls. :rant:

    I'm pretty sure it has to do with the photo of Germ in the pink tank.

    My works filter blocks this site describing it as "weapons" related. But, I can log on to other hunting related sites though.

    Why is it always my fault? Maybe it was the Zimmerman vs Trayvon thread.

    We don't classify ourselves - that's up to the service provide that your employer is using to filter their web content. Not much we can do about it either. Sorry!

    Could they have been monitoring your usage and seeing a trend?

    Not during lunch. :p



    Anything is possible but I can tell it's the software and not a human doing it by what it says. I don't hide anything and they know and it has never been questioned. If it ever were questioned I would be happy to work only my required hours and not put in all the free extra unpaid time I do because I am salary.

    Yeah, other sites that I visit hunting related are still permissible.


    I figured that. Gay!!!!!


    I would not be surprised.


    I might have to start looking around. Seriously.

    We might be hiring a new dock helper. You could bail boats and mow grass all summer long. Pay is terrible, and so is your boss, but the location is choice :tu:

    I'm sure you could do a better job than the 15 y/o I had working here last year :poke:

    Our firewall blocks this website due to a "Weapons" class. I am the admin so I don't have a problem.
