We are in the process of getting this removed, I believe a request has been sent. Although it is in their hands at the moment. I am guessing it was not you who couldn't get to it? We are on to it though!

Thanks for the quick reply.

The IT dept at work filter all our companies internet traffic through opendns and I was surprised to see xcore.com blocked. I did send a report to opendns asking them to unblock the site but I don't know how their response time or even if they'll respond to my report.

We have sent a report too, but are still waiting for someone to change it. Hopefully this will be solved soon. Thanks for putting a request in too, and thanks for the heads up.

This has now been resolved. Please confirm OpenDNS is no longer blocking this site from your end.

If anyone else experiences any issues accessing the site from any location please give us as much information as you can about the provider/who is blocking the site so we can get this fixed.

Well, I mean really, did it not occur to anyone that "xcore" might sound a little dodgy?
I don't understand why this forum does not sit under xmos.com anyway.
