Not me personally, but a global company I work for have placed pistonheads as high risk and banned access to the website


Apparently some NSFW issues had cropped up or something according to our IT bod - racism, some dodgy pics, iffy links - gutted...might even have to do a days works now!!!

Anything to do with http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... ?

They probably use third party lists, rather than manually blacklisting, so hopefully as the lists get updated every day, it will come off the list in a few days.
or maybe they saw it in the top 10 visited sites and so blocked it.

There is an alternative URL.... http://www.track-days.co.uk/

This appears on the banned list on Monday of the global company I work for as well

Odd. What about the track days URL?

[jeremyc]

I wonder if it is linked to this

Could be that any number of third party blacklists got updated because of apparent 'bad stuff'. With is having been cleared so the access is being reinstated.

I work for a multi-£bn global IT business - from Monday of this week the Pistonheads URL has been banned and is inaccessible. The Track-days URL is still accessible - though for how long, who knows?
