    It occurs to me that banning specific sites will leave you playing catch-up as the popularity of sites rises and falls. Can't use Photobucket? Then maybe you'll switch to Flickr. No YouTube? Then use Yahoo Video or something similar.
    Network operations sections have the ability to exercise initative and discretion in banning sites on the networks they run. A good section of system admins will be analyzing their logs for the sites chewing up the most bandwith and will block access if there is not an professional need for the majority of personnel to access those sites. For example, mySpace has been banned over here on the government network for months already.
