Unblocking the Straight Dope

I tried to visit the Straight Dope from work yesterday, only to find the admins had blocked it!

I get my work done every day, but sometimes I like to surf the web during lunch. However, my workplace’s web filter is getting out of control.

I did some research and found a site that can actually unblock blocked websites

Link removed.

Now I can get on the Straight Dope at work! :slight_smile:

Reported.

Drat. You beat me to it.

OK I promise, next time I’ll let you do it.

Well, I can’t complain. I’ve done it a bunch of times in the past…it’s only fair that I let a limey play along as well…
…people still call you English types that, right?

No? K then.

Why has my post been reported?

Welcome to the SDMB, thecoroner. Your post was reported because it looked a lot like spam. Guests whose initial first post(s) mention a product or web site tend to be spammers, and we kick them out right away. In your case, this doesn’t seem to be true; however, we do frown on advising others on how to get around workplace restrictions on Internet access. That’s solely between you and your employer (or school, etc…). So, I’ve gone ahead and disabled your links; and since the topic of conversation is gone, I’ll go ahead and close this thread.
