Important notice from the GRAMMAR POLICE. Plz read. This means you.
LurkieMoar:
As has been stated before, this is MATY. To elaborate, it's More Awesome Than You, a title which should tell you something about the kind of people who are most active here. It's not a standard buddy-buddy forum. You don't come here to be loved or fawned upon or greeted with open arms, you come here for information and downloads to make your game More Awesome.
So, if you don't want to be nominated for any Sheeple Awards, first off you should lurk a lot before asking stupid questions, see how those who have posted most handle things, look to see if your question has already been answered, use a spell-checker if you're shit at spelling, and then close your eyes and plunge into the water. If you don't want chunks bitten off you, don't play with the tigers.
As for RL disabilities or difficulties, that's a whole different subject and not relevant to forum life.

Not to mention, S-M-R-T people that work for big multi-nationals (such as myself) aren't stupid enough to post which multi-national they work for when they do manage to slack off on MATY from work...because it's like a red rag to a bull for the filter bots and then you're basically posting public evidence of being a slack-ass on the company dime.
As advised by my manager, he has no problems with us surfing the net, MSNing and what not, while at work/doing work. With what I do, sitting there doing sweet FA comes with the role. We have a lot of scripts and applications that do the work for us, so while waiting for those to do their job, we surf the net and go for breaks etc.
Given my company hasn't laid anyone off yet in any of the countries we operate in and yours has, I don't like the odds. Just because you *can* doesn't necessarily mean you *should*. After all, it's not your supervisor's job on the line if they begin to monitor what you're up to and the content of what you're actually discussing. As it stands, you're using corporate property to publicly discuss a pirated and thus illegal product. Under corporate laws, anything you do on a company-owned PC is "property" of the company, which means you've essentially bought IBM into your piracy discussions on the use of the product. Don't think it's possible to bite you in the ass? A friend of mine works for Telstra - she was fired because she was discussing on a forum the fact that she had downloaded the leaked X-Men Origins movie about a month or so ago and had it on her external HDD that was attached to her work PC.
BLS, nooblet. If you think your company would keep your job as opposed to cutting you loose to protect their bottom line, you're in for a shock in the real world. Hell, I'd expect that and the company I work for has stated publicly that we value our staff over our customers.

Man, this place just gets more surreal every time I come here. LMAO.

For some reason your post made me think of this:

Now that's what I call Awesome! I'm going to have to have that as wallpaper.
