Half-leaving...
 
You may know that my school blocked PC and for the last week or so I've been using proxies to get around the block. Well, the IT staff found out about the proxies and got mad, so now I've been banned from the computer system at school and I will only be able to get on PC for 2 hours a week (from home, on the weekends), except for during school holidays. Don't think that this is my choice; it isn't. I live for PC, I don't know what I'm going to do without it. It's my problem of living in Australia where broadband is way too expensive again.

Kairi, Andy, I guess this means you'll need to demod me - if I may, I'd request that JKaizer take my place as the second mod of WD, if you need someone to take up those duties. And Kairi, I'm glad your birthday is on a weekend - it means I'll be able to help celebrate.

I'm going to miss you all a lot - two hours a week is nowhere near enough for the amount of communication I need. Hopefully broadband prices here will come down soon and we'll be able to get it at home.

JA out.

well... i am sorry for that why is it always mods that leave pc? it's so unfair i hope you can get broadband why don't you get adsl?

Geometric-sama June 10th, 2004 5:14 AM

As I've said, it's too expensive. (www.broadbandchoice.com.au)

fudge01 June 10th, 2004 5:18 AM

i am sad now :( i used to have dial up but that was too epensive for me because it kept kicking me off but now i got adsl with telstra i am very sad for you :( i hope somehow you get back on

Chairman Kaga June 10th, 2004 5:44 AM

Now that's just a travesty...the school should look into the spirit of the law instead of the letter of the law and realize that you were performing duties at a harmless site...instead they needlessly make another helpless kid a victim of their inability to look beyond what law you broke into why you broke it...I'm sorry that this happened, and I'm sorry you're being forced to lose all you've accomplished here. Hopefully they'll lift the ban, but until then, I hope that things get better for you.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that Jedi_Amara. That really sucks, and I know dial-up is ****. I don't think you have to be de-modded. Just do the best you can when you can get access. They are plenty of staff that spends less time than here than you. I hope you get chances to come here often!

Porygon June 10th, 2004 6:27 AM

Yeah, you don't need to be demodded at all. As long as you can do your job, even if it's for less time than me even, there's no need for a demotion of any kind. Remember: It's not activity that makes a Mod, it's ability.

John Denver June 10th, 2004 6:29 AM

You can still Mod Jedi...if you actually stay for the 2 hours a week, that's pretty much, the bare minimum...heh, 2 hours a week is more active than some other mods have been...ya just need to catch the mistakes when you see em...

BOO ya!

Imakuni? June 10th, 2004 7:32 AM

awww... dont half leave... dont leave! ill miss you... :(

Scyther5 June 10th, 2004 8:56 AM

Wow, that sure does suck for you. I'm very sorry, I know how hard it will be to leave PC for so long and only have around 2 hours a week on it, but it most be so much harder for you since you've been here alot longer than me. I can't stress how bad this makes me feel. Well, you've done all you could and thats all that counts now.

Ryoutarou June 10th, 2004 10:00 AM

Jess June 10th, 2004 4:04 PM

Fricken school. Thank God I get out on Tuesday.. My school has PC blocked too :@ They have all forums blocked... My School is retarded.They have these log things on them and I HATE them..

Kayleigh June 10th, 2004 4:08 PM

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope that the prices go down for you soon so that you can get Broadband at home. =\ We'll miss seeing you on as much, but there's still no need for you to be de-modded. As long as you try to come on as often as you can, then it's not a problem!

Yeah.. Some Moderators have not been active in A LONG time..XD Anyways Jedi I doubt anyone would ever de-mod ya ^_^

Eliana June 10th, 2004 4:12 PM

*screams* JA NOOOOO! OMGD *Curses boradband* IL GET A LAWYER JA I PROMISE! ANDWHEN I DO I WILL SUE THEM IL GET YOU BACK!

Latios Master June 10th, 2004 4:43 PM

Sorry to hear about that, JA. It's stupid that your school blocked PC. At my school I'm able to go on PC. Pokémon forums never seem to be blocked from the computers, but it's very rare when I get a chance to get on a computer, and if I do, to be able to have time for a message board. Luckily I have lots of time to come on PC at home. One strange thing that I don't understand at my school is that sometimes AIM is blocked, and sometimes it's not. At home I have dial-up though, which I hate, but I don't have much of a choice. Well, I really do hope that things get better for you, JA, and that the ban is lifted, and you're able to come on all the time.

aaaaaa June 10th, 2004 4:51 PM

You can get broadband here for like...$29.95 a month now.
Albiet, with 200MB of downloads. But it's broadband.
$49.95 a month, with a free modem to boot, will net you unlimited 256k ADSL thru TPG.
Food for thought.

Anyway darlin, will miss ya.

Greed June 10th, 2004 5:31 PM

Darn, that sucks a lot. When I was in school I skipped lunch and went to the library to use the school computers. XD They never found out, or they never really cared. =D I got away with it every time X3 S'too bad that's not the case for ya, JA. Oh well, I'm sure you won't be de-modded, and at least you'll be able to be here for some time ^^ Oh well, we'll miss ya ^^

*dies*

Kairi June 13th, 2004 6:53 PM

Bye J_A! It’s been funning get to know you and Greggy since you guys became mods, hope you can find a way back soon. ^_^ Miss ya!

Flaming Torchic June 13th, 2004 8:01 PM

*Sigh* Another one bites the dust...

Over here in Canada, there are many packages that have broadband that are actually affordable. Like, there's this one called NetZero that is cheaper then even AOL (I think). Too bad that those kinds of deals aren't in Australia. =\ Anyways, there's no reason for them to de-mod you as long as you come on as often as you can. =) And I'm sure that this won't be forever. You never know, you may find a great deal for broadband, and be able to come on PC at home. =)

Ice demon June 13th, 2004 8:03 PM

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! - u just became my friend and now ur half leaving [and when u come on u'll be so caught up with mod duties in ur limited time that keeping in touch with me would be very very difficult. Not to mention when i have to compete with all ur other friends]
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

But ur so cool and funny and.......cool and............penguins

No but seriously this sucks - why only 2 hours. U can come on more during the holidays - right?
Well all the best and its OK - one day for sure u'll get broad ban and then u'll become rich of a pet penguin empire and then u could buy ur school, demolish it and sell all the evil teaches into slavery to the PC members they hurt by depriving us of ur presents [ i hope i get a discount XD]


Come back soon and have comfort in the knowledge that we are all there for u until u can come back to PC ^_^

Pokemaster10000 June 13th, 2004 8:14 PM

I posted here but I forgot to say bye.

And don't worry Ice Demon, she still comes here atleast everyday 2 days....I think.

Ice demon June 13th, 2004 8:29 PM

I guess its just depressing - i could only imagine what its like for her

aRedMoon June 14th, 2004 3:52 AM

Darn... I was wondering why I hadn't seen you online... I guess this explains it, ne?

*Sigh*

Well, hope you have a decent time at school actually doing school stuff now. :P ...but that does suck being banned from the entire computer system. o.o; *shudders* I couldn't imagine if my school did that... then again, the people at my school most likely don't even know how to block sites, so meh. They still let you go to aim.com and open express. o__O

Anyways, hope to see you around again... and I'm gonna miss ya!

oni flygon June 14th, 2004 7:00 AM

Ah...hope you get your freedom back soon!
I know what you meant...school caught me once logging into PC with those proxy thingies... O_O

Porygon June 14th, 2004 8:59 AM

Well, we all know JA has had to half leave now… is there any need for this thread anymore?

Pokemaster10000 June 14th, 2004 9:04 AM

Do you have summer vacation, JA?
It's really close so if you do have vacation, you'll be fine.
You do have internet at home right?

aRedMoon June 14th, 2004 1:31 PM

She's in Australia - it's winter for them. :P
