Starting either Thursday or Friday, I could no longer get onto this site from one of the places I go online.  It has always blocked websites that have 'games' listed as one of their keywords, but suddenly I get the same message with this site as I do for those.  Was anything changed recently, or did they randomly do something else to add this site to their restricted list?

I don't really know what I'm talking about either.  It's at a library....when I try to visit sites like nintendo.com or nesworld, I get a message similar to: 
'The following website is unavailable because it is in the category: "games."  For more information, please contact your system administrator.'

That never used to happen when I visited nintendoage, but now I when I try to I receive the same message.  I can't imagine they would have changed something specifically for one site, but who knows.  Weird!

They proably have filters in place than randomly seaches sites visited. I know a lot of school systems have something in place like this to prevent kids from going to bad sites. The library prob blocks gaming because of gaming sites for like poker and stuff. Just guessing mind you.

Yeah, that's probably why they block 'games,' but I just find it odd that suddenly, after over a month of visiting this site I no longer can because it comes up as 'games' where before it didn't.  It's probably just weird to me, but something they normally do.  :-/
