It was probably the 'Suspicious date' causing the problem! Maybe caused by the month changing. It should be ok if you adjust your computer clock back a day.

Had it aswell but thought it was the proxy I'm using.

Stercus Accidit

GavRedKing

Got it too, I was about to ring my I.T. dept and complain that I couldnt browse Boards.ie instead of working

mconigol

In fairness my first reaction was "So they've finally shut it down!"
More surprised that it hadn't happened already to be honest!

johndoe99

Looks like a boards April fool's gag to me.

Oh the sheer moment of panic I experienced when I though that our IT department had finally nailed one of my favorite ways to waste company time during work!

hal9000

I get nothing with netscape navigator

pow wow

I do with Safari. har har.

gman2k

Me too, and Bill Gates actually rang me up about it to apologise. I wasn't sure if it was him though cos of the date and all that. I told him I really liked his new Apple Ipad and hung up. Fool.

omahaid

It is clearly an April fools day joke, just in case anyone is in any doubt. Although my heart did stop for a second

Ev84

Mr Freeze

Probably an April Fools, at 1st I thought, Work finally did it, they blocked Boards.

Sure the mods played f**k here last year changing thread titles and merging unrelated threads, and that Boards.ie Now your lovin thing too.

Mayhem it was, Mayhem.

gbee

Add me Chrome, also thought AFJ

I got some message saying it was blocked owing to 'unacceptable internet usage'. Seeing as I'm now back in I assumed it was an April fool as well.

there's a few help desk threads so far, hehehehe

Duggy747

I thought something was up considering nobody changed the firewall settings.

But initially I thought.........."IT have found out!"

Then I thought............"Oh wait, I am IT!" :pac:

arch_stanton

Brief moment of panic there. Thought I was going to have work :eek:

chicken fingers

nice one boards, will the admin responsible put their hands up?
I was sure corporate had cracked down on our internet until I read the bit about "date"

EverEvolving

Ha ha good one Boards, seems people are really going to great lengths this year - i love it!!

So miss having a job right now as April fools is one great day to be working!

Barna77

I tried all the keys at the same time....

Sykk

I got it and was like "Oh shít, the network administrator must have blocked it".

Then I quickly realized.. Oh wait.. I'm the systems admin in this place..

ejmaztec

It could have back-fired on Boards after everyone saw the message and never tried to log in again. The admins would have ended up living rough in the park, and drinking dodgy booze out of bottles in brown paper bags.
