Why is this the only msg board that is not blocked at my job? it even has the word "forum" in the url. And why don't other msg boards follow suit? this has been bugging me for a while.

Dude, how about you talk to your admin (or not, if you want it to stay that way).

What does that have to do with "other msg boards follow suit?" ?

They probably have everything at your work blocked. It is not the decision of the content providers to block their own stuff.

It's the hampstors. They are good at bypassing corporate blocks.

They are all blocked at my work except for the 'NN as well; there again, I have control over the filters.

Maybe the admins visit MacNN?

It is the only forum that my school doesn't block. They even block the E34 forum

Perhaps your company uses a web filtering softwre and MACNN is not a problem site. Or you could have Mac admins who use the site for troubleshooting.
