As of two weeks ago, this site is blocked at work as an "Online Community" by Ironport. DS boards and Md's 247 boards are unblocked. Any reason why only this board is blocked, and can anything be done about it?
 
Does it give you any message when you are trying to access?

I don't know much about the 247 boards, but we stand out as an online community because that is the only thing for which vBulletin is used.

Scout can hide DS behind their recruiting stuff.
 
The message is along the lines "The website is blocked because 'Online Communities' is restricted on your policy." Not sure how the association is made - meta tags? (probably too simplistic).

This site has been fine until two weeks ago. Wondering if there was a change on this side that caused it to get flagged?
 
We haven't changed anything on our end in months. I'd assume that your company updated their watch list?
 
Yeah, not much you can do if your company is blocking specific URL's.
