School Computers - blockage

[Vickicat]

Luckily I'm not in grade school anymore. I used to go on Gaia in my computer class senior year but that was back in 2004 and not as many people knew about Gaia. Even then it eventually got blocked or something but I managed to get to it through a roundabout Google search. Now I'm in college and the computers there don't have anything blocked I don't think. I found this out by accident when I tried to go on Facebook on a comptuer there and typed it in wrong and got sent to a porn site. x_X It wasn't blocked at all. I'm glad I closed it out before anyone saw. >.< I felt soooo embarrassed but I think it happened too fast for anyone to notice. Most of the time I take my own laptop to class anyway. It depends on the class and if there's computer in that class room or not and if there's a valid reason for bringing my laptop. There was one class I had that I brought my computer to take notes on but I played around on websites at the same time. XD

No, I am in junior college and college is freedom, my old high school was a different story I believe they did do some blockage but I would not know for sure as I never tried to access anything besides school related areas while i was there. I know email was allowed though because there are school related uses for it. I think email for pleasure was not allowed, and the website hotmail but that didn't stop people.

And I just joined yesterday and have not started school yet so no I have not accessed this website from school.

No, cause I live in lovely Sweden. They don't block anything. But if you try to access porn sites you'll get banned from the school system. It has this auto ban thing...Not that I have tired. But once a guy in my class got a porn pop-up thing and he was banned. lol

But I don't have time to do shit in school. I got internet at home and it works fine.

I haven't been in school since 06, but I remember being a member of Gaia back when it had the "go gaia" address. After a while (can't remember how long exactly), the school system blocked it (listed it as a "chat" site - which is not allowed), but a friend that was also on Gaia told me they had another address that would go past the filter. Indeed, the new address worked, but only for a while before the filter gave it the banhammer as well. Since I didn't have the internet at my house, I wasn't able to visit again until a couple years later, when I moved out.

School filters can really suck, especially if you don't have internet access elsewhere. *sigh*

I am now is college which is great. I can do what I want when I use the school computers so I can use my own computer which is a laptop. this is what I do the most. It is great to have that freedom.

I know that in highschool a book site like spark notes was found on my account. This was a bannable offense at our school. I was confronted on it, but the teacher knew the whole time that I couldnt have looked it up to get the information because I loved the book we were reading and I most certainly read it. It turned out someone must have either hacked my account or I forgot to log out. Oh well. Its all said and done now. Just a misunderstanding.

YES!! gods it pissed me off. I would have done something during my lunch break, but no! I had to freaken sit there. thankfully I'm in collage too. Now no block. Thank you Collage.

I'm no longer a school student but it was used when I were. The blockage was made after one boy from my class watched tempting photos of such girls...hope you know what I'm talking about. The teacher noticed it and started yelling. Then all computers were blocked(

I don't play anything at school. Well, mostly because I'm not in school anymore, I'm in college and the computers we have in the library are kinda sucky. Well, not just "kinda." They suck BIG TIME. XP There are three of them. One constantly doesn't have the net for some reason, another one doesn't work and the third one works and is connected to the net, but it's so SLOW. Only two sites load fast, our college's website and JSTOR. Try to open any other site without losing your patience. Logging on Yahoo mail takes like half-hour. Google is blocked, can you believe it? And no, I'm not in China or North Korea. XP

My school blocks Gaia, Roli, Facebook, Myspace, Youtube and such. They don't block TinierMe or Solia, so I don't know if they block this and other avi sites. :/
I really hate it, but I just use proxies to get past the blocks. C:
Which is probably why I'm doing so poorly in Computer Apps.
Oh well. XD

[Imaginative Sarah]

HAHA.. well yeah they block everything.. unless its like not well known.. if a bunch of people start getting on it then it might get checked out though

[Somnium]

They don't block Midorea I don't think,
because last I checked they don't block much
except for youtube and random things owo
(i got annoyed one time,
I was bored and trying to look up lolita clothes,
but they blocked the search because of the word lolita v__v;; )

It actually goes against some rule when you go on non-school sites,
and you can have your privildeges revoked D|

In my computer applications class,
our teacher has a screen viewer, so he can see everything x__x
one time he caught me on dA,
but I told him it was just some pop-up 9__9

[x_lilmissNINJA_x]

They block gaia, myspace, and facebook.
Because we are a tech school and teachers post things on youtube, it's not blocked.

Mido is small and only a handful of people know about it, so it's not blocked either. Which makes me happy.

When I was at school, if it had pictures on it it was blocked. I remember trying to find pictures of Orlando Bloom with my best friend at the time, and being really disappointed when it was like 'Noo! The local conucil has blocked this site!'
Ah such fun when I was thirteen lol.

[star2000shadow]

hmm when i went to school i don't think they blocked, no no im positive they didn't block Gaia so they probably wouldn't of blocked Midorea. >_> i'm glad i no longer go to school if they've started blocking the fun sites..
that would just.. well suck majorly.

[The Emo Duck]

I'm not sure if mine does; I'm sure they do though. I don't try to go on these sites at school because they are far too bright and colourful that my teacher would notice from across the room.
