Seth, I said it could be, not that it is. Thanks for pointing that out. However, I believe the reason they are being blocked at AT&T is the main reason I supplied on my first post. The DDoS attack issue is the main ticket here. It's not because of content, or to piss people off. It's to protect their network, as any of you would do when you got DDoSed on your own networks. It's damage control, essentially, until they find out who is involved and block them, then they'll likely lift the block. This ISN'T the first time this has happened. Especially to 4chan. You can check their status page and see most of the entries revolve around them being down because of DDoS attacks. Regards, Shon Elliott Senior Network Engineer unWired Broadband, Inc.

Jamie,
Unfortunately, that's not easy with wireless backbones. The customers don't have their own "port". I also know for fact that 4chan is in the process of moving, so what you're seeing could just be that. Them moving.
This is definitely not "them moving":
