    yes it's blocked.. the bluenote firewall/proxy at my work blocks all mailing websites, and a lot of other sites.. even has some kind of automatic rule filtering, if you visit a site it doesn't know yet it'll allow you an a few minutes later it's blocked :-( :-(
    luckily some forums like this aren't blocked :)

    It used to be blocked at my previous school, but it's allowed now that I'm at a private school.

    my schools choice academy is a very good academy that teaches oracle, web design, programming, networking, photoshop.... etc etc. If gmail was blocked my web design teacher would go crazy so it isnt :p we just talk to the people to get it unblocked whenever we want. Im currently in web 4, oracle, and programming.

    Yeah, it is blocked at the high school I go to.
    The school uses an annoying block filter and blocks a ton of sites, for example my ethics teacher was trying to pull up information on abstinence, and the link that he usually references us to didn't work, he went to another link and surprise, it was porn :eek:

    Nope.

    I am not that much of an asshole to block myself.

    Close though ;)
