Access to http://www.progarchives.com/ for user XXXXXXXXXXXX has been denied for the following reason: Not sure why that is. Not necessarily a site bug, but they obviously detected something they didn't like. I miss stopping by here throughout the day.

PA doesn't have malicious ads. Annoying ones for sure. Quick! Look like you're busy!  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

| The recent hacking incident was probably the cause. Unfortunately, it's down to whoever looks after your Internet to decide whether to unblock us. |

| That's awful, sitting there all day and not having this site to browse at all. Hopefully the filter will change sometime. |

You can use a proxy to get around websense. I use turtlebride.com, bikepaper.com, and invadenewyork.com, depending on which is the quickest at the time. They aren't quick, but they'll get you there. I must warn you, though, that your employer will not be happy at all if they catch you using a proxy to circumvent their software. Then again, I'm sure they won't be too happy finding you spending all day on a prog-rock forum instead of working. -------------   |

| I know all about using proxys. I'm sure it was a bad ad, but nothing I can do about it now. I'll be caught either way, and this is the 3rd or 4th site I visit most frequently. So I don't miss it as much as I'd miss my Rush site or my DT site. |
