For some reason, the Army bans a lot of sites. They allow me to access Boardgamegeek, but not this (I'm using a guy's MiFi).

Can you contact Websense and explain to them you aren't a game site, but a simulation site, so I can visit the forum?

Good luck with that battle, the USAF blocks just about everything that isn't Military related.

Where I work the the front page is blocked as a gaming site. I discovered though, that if I google SimHQ and get a direct link to the forums they're not blocked.

I have the same problem with Websense, even to the forums sadly, so no SHQ for me unless working from home.
Other sim sites have so far escaped the dead hand, but I'm not naming them in case the forces of darkness are listening...
Cheers

Man, Websense marks everything as games. They even had my science fantasy web comic marked as a gaming site.


Who wants a fixed wing aircraft, when you can have one that wasn't broken?
