Well I\'ll be on my way to work soon...so far I\'m not too excited about what I see here...my work blocks everything, and my fears thus far is that maybe I go on Dobber too frequently and one day it will be blocked...we\'ll see soon...

A common work around to being blocked is having a mirror site. I\'m not a techy so I don\'t know how it works but someone on here must.

I run my own business and am happy my employees can\'t visit every site out there. I know how much time I spend on here and I know how much productivity I lose so I wouldn\'t want the people I\'m paying to also be dicking around while on the clock.

On the other hand, a very underestimated expense is turnover. Employee retention is very important. I once had an office job with no Internet and a factor in my taking a new job was the fact that they had Internet.
Everyone needs a break - work should be measured in results, not time committed. An employee leaves work a little happier if they spent three or four 10-minute windows surfing the net, be it for fantasy hockey, crossword puzzles, whathaveyou.

One person quitting leaves you with many intangible expenses - the cost of re-training, the cost of errors (potentially can be very high) for starters.

Im an IT Guy at my office, so should dobber ever be blocked I would most certainly unblock it...

For you guys that have IT departments that block this, befriend the IT guy, or buy him a lunch or something and ask him to white list DobberHockey. Approach the younger guys or the sports fan. Tell them you like to check the site while you eat your lunch, etc, something that you know will not raise any problems as far as productivity go and you can prob get the IT guy to get you in.

Good Luck, and Dobber, i like the approach you have taken, but the suggestion of the sales team is also good.

I just went onto our network and unblocked the sites I wanted to access. For those of you who can\'t do that, like some others have suggested, just befriend one of the IT\'s. As long as they don\'t sense any trouble will come to them, they will usually do you a favor or two.

Once a software company has \"classified\" a site, it is very difficult to get them to change that classification. It\'s much easier to just unblock the sites via your network at your place of employment.

Good luck to those who are having trouble.

Google + \"proxy server\" = surf with impunity.

You have to put up with some ads, and I wouldn\'t be putting my personal or login information into them, but if you just want to read the latest Dobber headlines and whatnot, that will accomplish the goal.

Haha, I see I'm not the only one that's getting muzzled by Websense. I was bored at work so I was reading this thread on dobberhockey.mobi a couple weeks back.

I think i may have found a way around websense's security today. I used my quota time like almost every day to go on the forums for an hour and somehow now I can come on the forums if I go to my recently viewed sites and click it there. So all I gotta do is use one portion of my quota time every day and then I can go on all day.

If this works everyday then maybe I found a way to get onto dobberhockey at work!Well its either that or someone's going to come tell me to clean out my cubicle in a bit lol.

Either way, productivity at the workplace has just taken a significant hit for this guy.

We also have Websense, but the word sports is not blocked. You do get the it has to be work related message before advancing though. But the bosses can still tell who's on what...not specifically, but they know it's a sports site and how long you're on it. So I pop in and out throughout the day.

First off, rotoworld ain't got nothin on you my friend. Second, my job necessitates free and clear internet access, while most employees are blocked from even such sites as CNN to amazon, etc...

I use google chrome all day with multiple open tabs, bouncing in and out of this site, ASKL and UHL and of course sites needed to get the job done.
