Let's hear it for grad school! Woot!

Besides, you young people have it easy these days. Why, when I was in high school, we had a small room off the library with half a dozen Apple II boxes and a single dot-matrix printer. And we were glad to have 'em! Your fancy-pants world wide web was just a glint in Tim Berners-Lee's eye.

Did you try Google translating the web page? It may work.

Oh, I forgot about that trick! I used to browse the web at work in Spanish whenever I couldn't get to a web site.

My school has no idea that KYM even exists. So, I can go on it whenever I'm in school.
Unfortunately I'm not on computers much in school :-(

You're lucky your school doesn't have a wall system that tracks every website that every kid uses at school. Thats why I had to have a teacher keep the site up. Regardless the faculty will find out about sites.

Pardon me for going off-topic, but I re-read my cranky old man post and got nostalgic for a moment.

Ah, state-of-the-art graphics and gameplay…those were the days…

I'm at university now, but when I was in high school they blocked DeviantArt.

Our multimedia teacher got all flustered because that was where she downloaded all her brushes for Photoshop.

She tried to petition for it back, but to no avail. :c

My school blocked its own website and listed it as pornography. No joke.

LOLwut? How did that happen? XD

The filtering software at my work (the one where I sued to surf in Spanish) used to block according to keywords. This meant I could freely download porn in foreign language sites, but couldn't watch "Teen Girl Squad" episodes on HomestarRunner.

I love some of the tags that my school gives websites, such as "Obscene/tasteless" or the occasional "humor"… really guys?

Oh gosh….is your school using the Barracuda Web Filter? Mine is! My teachers also use something that makes it hard for me to get on KYM: LANSchool. I'd get LANSchool to counter it, but then i'd get in BIG trouble.

How did you servive?

Well I enjoy reading it for the news, and a lot of students use it for reports, its just stupid that a filter is doing more harm than good on the internet.

Ah when I was still atending school, My school blocked about every single website the only unblocked one was 4chan I don't see why they bother blocking sites when kids are just gunna find a way to bypass it anyways,
