We use WebSense* here. I just queried 'gaf, and it listed it as a "message board/forum." Naturally, I'm around all the blocks... for "testing."
Fun while it lasted - GAF blocked at work

That's pretty funny, I went through the same thing back in December at my place of employment (obviously didn't see the thread back then). That was one scary week when it was blocked... it's a nice distraction during my couple moments of down-time throughout the day. And then it was magically back!

This is what works for me (Websense).

Not so much spying as just saying this site is off limits.
I trust to see all my colleagues surfing on football sites for the next few weeks though.
So has anyone found a way to log in and post using the http://67.227.255.239/forum/ URL?
It's the only way that I can access GAF at work other than remoting into my home PC, and if I could somehow log into the site using that URL I'd be golden!
Maybe there's some way to manually set a cookie to have me logged into the site? What is stopping the login from working when using the IP address?

As a sysadmin at my place of work I enjoy completely unfiltered web access.
Not that strange. We restrict mobile traffic significantly more than wired.

My work has very computer illiterate people running that sort of thing. I feel bad for people that have more tech savvy people running the filters.
Happened to me yesterday. For some reason when I click on the below link it works for me now.

It didn't work for me yesterday, but it appears to be loading fine today.
I try not to use it much at work anyway though, I just use my phone most of the time instead.

try neogaf.net?
And no getting fired if you do or try.
My employer has no blocks up but I still only use my phone for things like GAF.
Whether you are blocked or not it's almost always against policy; those policies exist to give easy due cause for firing you if they feel the need. It will have nothing to do with the actual browsing but companies will decide during layoff cycles to see who would be easy to fire with cause; an extensive history of "spending time on" non work web sites one of the easiest things to fire people for.
So instead of getting laid off, possibly a severance package, probably unemployment you end up fired with a bad reference and no unemployment.
Surf smart GAF.

I work for one of the biggest companies on the planet and they don't give a toss what websites you go on unless it's pornographic, violent or other such websites that common sense prevent you from visiting.
Can't imagine working for such an anal company that limits your browsing.

Is there any way my work knows I'm using megaproxy to bypass them knowing my browsing?
GAF was just blocked at work today after 6 years of worry free browsing. Pretty lame because Facebook and all other social networks are accessible even though I see far more people wasting time on those.
I don't go on GAF too often at work, only when there's a bit of downtime and I'm waiting for something or someone to get back to me, but I'm using my work phone and work data plan(instead of my personal data plan) to browse GAF now out of spite.

The IT staff knows what's up.
In the 90s there was no internet. You'd do amazing things with paper clips.
I can only access GAF at work when I use neogaf.com/forum/index.php and even then, individual threads often get blocked. I'm pretty sure it comes down to links (including posted images) to other blocked sites, so for example, all game review threads are blocked.
I did notice, starting this week, that more and more threads are blocked... leading me to wonder if the algorithm or whatever is getting more strict.
Oddly enough, while almost all gaming sites are blocked, I can access Polygon without any issue (not to mention sites like reddit, although a few years ago certain gaming subreddits would be blocked).
