NeoGAF

I've recognized that some users were taking advantage of our alternate domain to bypass work firewalls that have neogaf.com blocked, so I've reinstated neogaf.net for that purpose.

Use www.neogaf.net/forum (only if neogaf.com is blocked, of course) , as www.neogaf.net will still redirect to neogaf.com. Happy workplace sanity :D

Overall productivity in the world -500%

Nonoriri · (08-07-2012, 01:02 PM)

Oh man now I have to get a job.

Work just got better!

Remember to respect the rules of your employers, guys.

Talk about excellent customer service.

Good thing my workplace doesn't block anything :D A few minutes on GAF every now and then while at work are an absolute must.

EightBitNate · (08-07-2012, 01:11 PM)

Oh GAF, you're so badass. Bypassin firewalls and shit.

is "customer service" hyperlinked to a scroll-over ad for anyone else? Is that Neogaf or some kind of adware I have on my pc?

Also, boo to any company that would block neogaf =( that's just mean.

I would never do any of that textlink ad crap. You have malware.

It's only hyperlinked on Neogaf.net

dejay · (08-07-2012, 01:14 PM)

Awesome, but I feel it may be blocked too - I'll have to see tomorrow at work. Can you also register imtotallyworkinglikeasouthernslavebackintheday.com and link that to Neogaf.com too, just in case.

It's weird because it's only happening on this thread and nowhere else. I'll run a scan to make sure.

Nvm it's happening elsewhere. Weird =\

sol_bad · (08-07-2012, 01:26 PM)

Can't wait to try this at work tomorrow!

ajim · (08-07-2012, 01:32 PM)

I browse NeoGaf all day at work and my co-workers often ask "What is that site you're always on?" because I'm always on it, and I'm always sharing weird/awesome/cool/news links from threads on Gaf around in emails.

The day it gets blocked will be a very sad day for me :(

Kritz · (08-07-2012, 01:36 PM)

It's too bad this wouldn't have helped my crippling GAF addition back in college when they blocked the site based on my usage alone. :(

(It was a small college.)

Ermc_G6 · (08-07-2012, 01:37 PM)

This is the site that just keeps giving!

M_Night · (08-07-2012, 01:41 PM)

With this and M.neoogaf, GAF will kill productivity and bring the world economy to ruin.

This will then lead to record levels of worldwide unemployment, thus creating a larger pool of potential gaffers.

Simply genius.

ScOULaris · (08-07-2012, 01:43 PM)

Thanks for this! Luckily the main site has yet to be blocked at my work (knock on wood), but it's good to know that I'll possibly have a fallback if that ever changes.

Keen · (08-07-2012, 01:43 PM)

I can read five at work, but I can't post. Didn't work now either (posting from my phone), anyone with any idea why and/or a workaround.

Where you can't post?

Just gaf, other forums work fine (westeros and Swedish for flashback.org). Pic sites, such as Flickr, instagram and other image hosting sites other than imgur are blocked and pics from those won't show up in threads.

chandoog · (08-07-2012, 01:50 PM)

Holy shit it works, I'm on my office terminal and browsing GAF properly .. no more using shitty google translate to view GAF at work

You're awesome EL, now can you please fix some other websites to work at my office ? :D

Gowans · (08-07-2012, 01:50 PM)

I used .net for years.

Best little known feature of GAF.

ilnadmy · (08-07-2012, 01:51 PM)

Yeah this was a lifesaver for the past two years when I was at a job that blocked GAF.

New job doesn't block anything though. :)

tearsofash · (08-07-2012, 01:52 PM)

Is there a reason your work would block GAF?

Truant · (08-07-2012, 01:53 PM)

Can't get the Gold member stuff to work with the .net url. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice.

It's so annoying when someone links to a thread though and you're not logged in because it's on .net

GAF is a game discussion website; gets lumped into the filters with IGN, GameSpot, etc

Edit: yup, neogaf.net is still blocked for me at work. Mobile gaf all day

Charmicarmicat · (08-07-2012, 02:16 PM)

Our Websense at work is so bizarre when it comes to blocking this site. Sometimes I can read a thread, but then if I click reply it blocks it for a filtered reason. Also I can sometimes read some pages of a thread but not others, it's so stupid.

DrFunk · (08-07-2012, 02:19 PM)

No video games at work

Anyone notice how that avatar fits perfectly with every one of EL's posts :lol Read the OP and then look at it, it's perfect.

I get that too.

Pisses me right off with it's randomness. It's almost always cited as "Sexual Content" too.

BlackGoku03 · (08-07-2012, 02:44 PM)

I just happen to be the system administrator at my job (just got the job a couple of months ago when I got married) and I'll ensure GAF doesn't get blocked here. I read it everyday at work.

NomarTyme · (08-07-2012, 02:44 PM)

Damn you Evillore.

Snuggles · (08-07-2012, 02:45 PM)

When do we get NeoGAF.org back?

ElectricBlue187 · (08-07-2012, 02:49 PM)

this is pure evilore

slit · (08-07-2012, 02:50 PM)

My work doesn't have it blocked, but most other gaming sites are. They must know Neogaf is special.

gutshot · (08-07-2012, 02:56 PM)

Yes! I can browse GAF at work once again. Thank you based Evilore.

Copenap · (08-07-2012, 11:00 PM)

omg thanks so much, great news :)

Holy crap, boss.

Well, it's not blocked at my workplace and I outright use it and no one cares, but this is still cool

cutmeamango · (08-07-2012, 11:04 PM)

Can't they just block everything that says 'neogaf'?

Register dinogaf.com or gafstealth.com

Sentry · (08-07-2012, 11:04 PM)

Evilore, what have you done.

But if the .net or /forum gets blocked as well, will you just resurrect it with another deviation url?

LuffyZoro · (08-07-2012, 11:05 PM)

I'm pretty sure that I was the reason they blocked the mobile site at my school. Full site still works fine though.
