My school blocks pretty much everything. All you can do with google is is regular search, you can't use Wikipedia, and one time I did a search on Donald Duck and all the links were blocked due to "Partial Nudity". And craziest of all, I've gotten block messages that say:

This website is blocked due to content containing the following:


Education/Learning


I'm not kidding.
I believe filters just coined themselves.

My school hasn't blocked too much other than social networking and gaming sites, which is what adults expect the average teenager to go on, I guess. Don't have a problem logging into PC, but that doesn't matter 'cause I'll never log into it when I'm at school. Don't need to risk getting my reputation destroyed by a bunch of judgemental kids who'll go out of their way to degrade anyone who shows any signs of weakness.

Hopefully it'll get better if I end up in university some day.

I'm guessing that was Wikipedia?
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

My old high school blocked hardly anything when I was a freshman, but by the time I was a senior you couldn't get on any outside email accounts (yahoo, gmail, etc), no myspace, no facebook, no forums, no pretty much anything. The only thing that I managed to get on was like Yahoo Movies, so yeah I spent a year posting about movies and crap over there. lol

My school computers filter everything. :/
Even Google.
Funny thing is, I tried to access PC once at school and the following came up:

"This site is blocked for the following reasons:

Online Fourm and/or Tasteless."

Yup. We are a tasteless community.

Tasteless? That's got to be the most hilarious blocked reason I've ever seen! Who cares about what the school system thinks, though? I wish they had funny messages like that at my old school. You know, it wouldn't surprise m if the people who set up that block secretly visit PC...

Wow...and I thought my school was bad. But in comparison with all these other stories, my school was down right awesome. XD

Wikipedia was allowed, Pokecommunity was allowed. I assume YouTube and FaceBook would have been allowed had they existed back then, XD. The only things that were banned was Internet messengers like MSN and Gmail, purchasing sites like eBay, and of course, porn and the like. But I thought it was terrible that I couldn't use MSN at school...if I couldn't go to PC either....;_;

Though we got around the lack of MSN by just... downloading MSN and installing it. XD; I think by my final year, Youtube was banned and by now they've probably banned Facebook but I don't know.

I used both religiously at one point, but then just decided...I never really got any use out of both of them. I still check my facebook from time to time, but not everyday. I talk with most of my friends on AIM anyway =P

I made a Facebook a while ago, and haven't looked at it since.
All my friends at school tell me they friended me and such, and I'm just like "Oh. I haven't looked at that thing in weeks, but okay."
Doll, you make them feel so small
AND THEY LOVE IT!

I got MySpace back when they added that... musical artists feature or something. Then got bored of it within a few days. I've got a Facebook because my friends pestered me to get one but I only ever visit when I get emails from it... so whenever someone writes on my wall, adds me, or requests membership at the PC group. 8/

I have FaceBook, but I rarely use it. I usually get messages and friendship requests months after they were originally sent. For example, I read one yesterday of a friend asking me if I was coming home for the Christmas holidays. XDD

So yeah, I prefer to just talk with friends over MSN. ^^
