The I-T Nazis at work have eliminated so many web sites that it's sometimes difficult to research a project. Certain words, phrases or servers are verboten. As of yesterday anything called a forum or message board is banished. I can still get GRM though.

Hm.

SHHH... I think they forgot to do the META tags or something. Leave it alone!

I have the best IT guys in the world, and I'm not just saying that to suck up. I sit next to their office and listening to them talk people through computer problems has me pulling my hair out its so frustrating. I don't know how they do it, perhaps they murder prostitutes in their off time.

Google likes our site pretty well without adding META tags for every possible topic. Page titles do that job better anyway IMHO. Our analytics are strong, and you get to goof off at work. Win win!

Yeah a particular E30 forum I visit, I can still view the forums, but if any pics are hosted on the forums site. The company stuff blocks it saying it's pr0n.

it is not using a forum subdomain (forums . reallycoolcarsandstuff . com<-edited because it looked like a naughty link) and not a phpbb those might help.

We are highly filtered, but it gets through here too.

Perhaps your IT guys have not filtered sports, or when those letters are part of a word? Or one of them is reading these posts
