So.. some time around 1700 Eastern time the marines decided that MW:O forums was not allowed to be visited by U.S.M.C. DoD computers in my region and was added to the 'no no' list for our fire walls.. T__T

The only way this is possible is if there is enough traffic from our DoD computers (in my area) that they looked at the sight and deemed it 'inappropriate' for work. So thanks for the dangling of the goodies and keeping me addicted while on my 12 hr shifts I spent most of my times running around the forums!

So really, in the end, I blame Paul, and Garth because he did Paul's spoiler trick too. Its not my fault for spending so much time on the forums and probably highlighting them to the Network Administrators. And now I have to actually 'do' work while at work! Travesty for amerce and for those that serve has happens today!


In all reality, they finaly probably just associated MW:O with 'Video games' finally and it was bound to happen eventually. Turns out MW3 and bungie sights also got hit up today. ; p and just like with Deviantart.com they probably will remove it from the 'no no' list once they re-class it as a 'social' sight akin to face book or word press. LOL I just wanted to rant and blame some one because I couldn't stare longingly at the Centurion for the last 15 minutes of my shift T__T

Well I am a firm believer you are using PGI to train a zombie army of mech jocks to pilot real battlemechs for your own devious pink will!

Don't care what their marketing department says, there is only one game that can lay claim to MW3 in my heart and it came out long before call of duty

Its military fire wall so that marines cant get on government computers and go all Willie nilly free on the interwebs. Its standard for gaming websites to be blocked. I just wanted to blame Paul and Garth.
