A way to log into AA in a more "basic" form?

[ComputerSpaceFan]

I love visitting AtariAge while at work but I recently had to clear my browser cache there and now I just need to log in again. Problem is, I can't. We have this new firewall blocking non-work-related websites (curses!!)

 

The odd thing is, other websites that require me to log in, for example the forums at Retrocade Magazine or the KLOV forums work just fine. I can log into them while at my office just fine and continue to enjoy the discussions. But here at AtariAge when I go to log in, an unusual pop up screen appears, it almost looks like some kind of flash interface and as soon as I put in my credentials my browser tells me the page cannot be displayed.

 

So I was just wondering if there's a way to sign in to AtariAge that doesn't use that weird pop up thingy.

 

And yes I have tried every variation of clicking "Remember Me" or not to remember me and also "Sign in anonymously" and not to sign in anonymously. They all give me the error.

For me, when sign in fails, I get to a sign in page. No pop up there.

I used to visit AtariAge in my work and now they blocked any site with "atari" word in its address

They have a HUGE network with many IT people so I don't think it's good to fight back but still with some sites I go to the cached data in the Google... And I keep follwowing some threads and get in my mail any new post in those threads.
