SWJ Blocked By RC (SW)? (Updated)

We were just sent the screen capture below and guess it begs two questions. Firstly, did RC (SW) block access to Small Wars Journal or is this some type of temporary glitch? Secondly, if SWJ has been intentionally blocked, WTF?

We’ve also heard reports that other elements of ISAF can no longer access SWJ. Anyone have any intel on this? Thanks.

Update: While we are on the subject (also see jcustis comment below), we have also gotten reports that the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) has, at least at times and at certain locations, blocked Small Wars Journal and the Small Wars Council discussion board. This includes CONUS and OCONUS locations. Intel on this would also be appreciated.

Update 2: When it rains it pours. From the comment section below from Andy: “My Air Force Network blocks SWJ as well. They use, IIRC, Blue coat. Like jcustis, no joy getting the site removed from the blacklist. It looks like what they do is categorize websites and then block specific categories. So if the category includes “blog” or “forum” then it gets blocked.” Anyone else out there?
