Crap... My job has now added Kotaku to it's block list.

Mine did too, of course I get pages here blocked too when people use 'profanity' or words having to do with sex. It's sad really...

It's hard to let go of Kotaku since they have all the best rumors and information there for gaming.

Strangely enough, I can view EBgames.com, but not Gamestop.com

I was on it this morning. I went to click next to see the next page and suddenly I got the message. I tried to go back to the home page and it was blocked too.

Probably were adding it to blacklist, or it was a certain keyword pairing that caused it to be blacklisted. The later is the one I absolutley hate, because it usually circumvents whitelisted pages (at least in my case).

Probably could ping the host and use the IP address instead of the http name. I very much doubt most places block IP addresses directly, they just do keyword searches on the title and block it that way. They might be scanning the content of the page, where in that case you're screwed.
