Does Your School block certain websites too?

<p>My school blocks like everything....I tried to go to jokes.com, and it said that i couldn't because of porn..i was like wtf? that site has no porn!</p>

<p>then i tried to go to ebgames.com, and it wouldn't let me!!!!!!!</p>

<p>i cant go to any of the game websites...they are all blocked..stupid school!</p>

<p>but..muahaha..i found a game website that my school HASN'T blocked!</p>

<p>its <a href="http://www"&gt;www&lt;/a>. twrgames.com</p>

<p>muahha. games, here i come!</p>

<p>yeah my school blocks a lot of websites too but doesnt affect me because I barely get time on the computers.</p>

<p>yes my school blocked <a href="http://www.cnn.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.cnn.com&lt;/a> cuz they said the news distracts children...lol</p>

<p>we also cant access any mailing websites, websites with mpegs on it, or like religiously affiliated websites</p>

<p>msn here... some are addicted to chatting! :D</p>

<p>Are you people talking about high school or college? The college doesn't block any website at all.</p>

<p>Our school uses a most horrid filter known as "Bess." It blocks about half of objectionable websites and about 75% of useful websites.</p>

<p>There are always ways around it, though. The easiest to just use a proxy. I have about 20 bookmarked on my account. They find one and block it every now and then, but I can always find one that works.</p>

<p>my high school blocked email websites, "adult" websites, and many game sites. there were ways around things though.</p>

<p>Feuler: we used to have Bess, but my friend wrote a program blocking it, and since he is a hacker-genius extraoridnaire, our computer guy couldn't figure out how to shut it down.</p>

<p>we use bess too. it filter's like everything. pretty hard to get around.</p>

<p>feuler, where do you find proxies?</p>

<p>yea we use bess too....i wanna know how to get aorund em</p>

<p>bess..
hisss.
you cant search google images, its the worst when we have to have visual reports done at school within the block... gah</p>

<p>ours blocks everything....google.... walmart.com jcpenney... borders barnes and noble.... bestbuy.. everything :( lyrics sites too</p>

<p>Our school uses St. Bernard or something... I don't care too much, I barely use school computers.</p>

<p>lightspeed</p>

<p>although it doesn't sound quite as horrible as bess...but it's still nasty. -_- that and our network just plain sucks</p>

<p>The most annoying thing about Bess is that damned dog that comes up. Bess Can't Go There. DIE!</p>

<p><a href="https://cprox.netfirms.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://cprox.netfirms.com&lt;/a> used to have a list of proxies, but that site doesn't seem to exist any more. I copied down all the sites but they're all on my account at school. Maybe I'll post some when I'm bored on a school computer...</p>

<p>they blocked everything, including neopets. hahaha. </p>

<p>and no IM of course..
the people are immature with the comps too.. they go into this thing, not sure but maybe "run" and send each other messages through this already installed messenger..it pops up as a popup on your comp. since we're connected by #s, all you do is type in a # and the msg and you get this popup thing.</p>

<p>Ahh, that used to be rampant at my high school. But now when people send those, they can be tracked to the person who sent it somehow and they usually get in trouble.</p>

<p>Command prompt. That's it.</p>

<p>i go to catholic school. everything's blocked lol.</p>

<p>CC isn't blocked though.</p>

<p>besides IM, nothing but (unintentionally) gmail :rolleyes:</p>
