I’ve not opened up any site today but ATS
What happens when you try to go to ATS? You've jumped to the conclusion that it's someone stopping you, which is very hard unless they have access to the server, it's the least likely cause.
try a different browser as a starter
does anyone have access to the router as some can block sites using the 'parental controls' so check that no ones logged in and decided to have some lulz
if none of that works open a command prompt and try "tracert www,abovetopsecret.com" and see where the problem lies
I had an issue for a week of not being able to reload headlines.
After disabling some browser add-ons it has been fixed.
Maybe something to try?

Nothing happens. The page just keeps churning and never gets in.
It only happens with ATS. No other pages.
The least likely? Whatever.

My Firefox updated as well but I've experienced no problems accessing ATS. If all else fails you can always do a system restore to a date before you started experiencing the problem.
Umm, you've been here for five years. You have nearly 10,000 posts and a gold border, meaning you are one of the top 50 posters on ATS, and you think you are being blocked?
And yet, you're here, with 5 posts on this thread alone.
What's the problem again?
