This just started happening today at a place I'm working at and connecting to their corporate guest wifi. Only the forums are being blocked (as malware) not the main site.
I don't have access to IT here to inquire about it but perhaps management could look into why the forums might be blocked. I suspect this isn't the only place where it's happening.

Oh well it is what it is, nothing I can do about it.
 
I just use Internet Explorer 11 and it doesn't care. I don't need a browser to babysit me, as I've been into computers since Fortran and CP/M. Last thing I need is an OS or app holding my hand like a child.
 
Also blocked on my home ISP. At first this site was 'down' intermittently but now it seems permanent. Using Tor Browser to get around the problem.
 
I had to put in a request with Xfinity for them to whitelist the site with their "Advanced Security ". It looks like it processed as I couldn't access the site on my home network for a few days.
