It hardly makes any difference that *your* site isn't a porn site. Once at my place of work, I was blocked from visiting a site for the Clifton Corridor Transportation Management Authority (sounds dangerous, doesn't it?). The filtering software labeled the site as porn. My only guess was that their hosting provider has a block of IP addresses and one of them is for a porn site, therefore the filtering morons decided to block any IP address associated with that hosting provider. Sounds totally stupid, but I think that's what they're doing.
