These are not the droids you're looking for. You can go about your business.

BGG and VGG are okay, but for some reason, RPGG gets blocked by the software at work. I also noticed that CheapAssGamer is also now blocked at my work. Any help out there?

RPGGeek gets blocked by my work sometimes. When it does, there's a link to the service my company uses to block things.

I send them an email from my home account and ask them to re-evaluate RPG geek as it is not a gaming site but a hobbyist/news site. I usually mention that the content is exactly like boardgamegeek, which is not blocked.

It usually gets reclassified within 24 hours.

If it looks like your company is choosing what to block on its own, I don't think I'd make the request.

Yes, this really is what I looked like when I uploaded that avatar. Not that it's quite current anymore.

There's always the option to try a VPN connection to a proxy server.

My work blocks anything with the word "game" in the URL. So I just don't use the work internet to hit the 'geeks.

My work classifies rpggeek.com as occult / esoteric (I guess too many magic-oriented systems at times). They let me access the website but they warn me that the will note the act and they want me to confirm that I'm aware of it.

I tried to fight it at first, now I ignore it.

A case of beer for the IT guys usually works wonders.

My armor is contempt. My shield is disgust. My sword is hatred. In the Emperor's name, let none survive.

When I now saw this Coppelius, the frightful and terrific thought took possession of my soul, that indeed no one but he could be the Sandman.

Maybe online beer shops shipping to them are not blocked?
