      Heh. We want some serious solutions to this problem.
      I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

        I own the company, and I have often thought I should instruct the admin to IP block Poly.

          Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

            I once again would stress that I browse during my lunch break. It's not that I am particularly diligent, but rather I know that posting during work time is a slippery slope.

              Yeah, the question then becomes; "How many 'lunchbrakes' do you take? "

                  Guess solitaire is back on the work out list.

                  SolSuite's never-ending list of card games was a godsend when the internet was taken away from me at work.

                    I used to spend longer and longer time at Poly from work before Ming banned me. But now I've been able to self control a bit so that I can reasonably believe Poly won't be in the restricted site list for a long time. Although these couple weeks I've actually been using my own time on work.

                    Anyway I think Kody was able to get on Poly when Poly is restricted by his tech people. Maybe you can ask him about it.

                        That's tiresome, but I have done it. Only to be done if in extreme need IMO.

                          Same here -- my eyes get very light sensitive at times, and forums like Poly and Counterglow, which offer dark themes, are a godsend.
                          No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                            I use the same theme as I've done all the time since I registered; the default one. The other ones are just plain ugly really...

                                What poly address are you using? The firewall at my company blocks http://www.apolyton.com or http://www.apolyton.net, but it doesn't block http://apolyton.net. Have you tried that?
