DAMN IT. Bunch of ass clowns never bothered blocking the zombie huddle, but now that this exists and is 20 times better I can't get on from work (where I do most of my freehuddling).

Weak. Sauce.

Mine too. But they don't block ESPN or gay gay. And they block Gmail. Stupid.

Of course they know about Ohio sports. Where do you think they get all of their athletes?

It won't happen where I work. The owner of the company sits there all day looking at porn and soliciting prostitutes, so I'm sure I will be ok checking out a message board.

It's blocked at my hotel, too. It wasn't for a couple days and then it was. Annoying.

Well, we successfully pulled off a revolution against JJHuddle.

Now it's time to pull one off against those who block this site! WAR NEVER ENDS!!!

My company will block based on content but traffic really dictates it. If tons of employees are visiting a website it will alert them. They will then review the site for content and block if they deem appropriate. Thinking not alot of people use this website where I work!

Luckily for me, I wrote "frequenting freehuddle.com" into my job description.

My IT staffer says our work site has several "triggers" - one of them is that it will "sample" content of a site it hasn't seen before - if it finds violations (like an f-bomb), it goes straight to the "no fly" list.

A lot of the times just downloading Mozilla Firefox and using that as your web browser is enough to get around blocked websites at work.
