I object! I'm at school and bartcop is blocked. Maybe because I put it on some of the library's homepages last year. Oops!

Anyway, I object! :wtf:

4. Make a stink about it
Bring it up to some of the political science profs and claim censorship (which is exactly what it is). If you are in High School write a letter to your local paper's editor.

8. Sometimes there are ways around it...
...at my school DU used to be blocked if I actually typed in the address, but I could still get in here via the link on, ironically... Bartcop! Really strange situation, but I wasn't objecting! :-)

BTW, you put it on the library's homepages? You're awesome! :toast:

9. I Had The Same Problem
The Library blocked a Short Wave site. I just found another site that had a backwards link to the site I was looking for. You might try that.

18. haha yes
Other people put things on there all the time- but this year they got smart and blocked out ALL the internet properties- history, etc. We can't delete any of our history or change any settings. Which sucks.

10. the anonymizer might get your there too
since it hides the destination address from monitoring equipment. Their url is www.anonymizer.com

Of course, if the school locks them out too I have no other ideas...

11. See if you can get to Hannity and Limbo's sites
If you can, raise holy hell. (If you can't, also raise holy hell, but it would be less bad if they were blocking all political sites.)

12. There was a week or so that I couldn't get there
and it came back. Try linking via mooseandsquirrel.com. You won't get the pictures necessarily, but you will get the stories.

14. being in charge of the filter
I have the thing set up to the minimum to meet federal guidlines. So Bart and others get through. Mainly block porn and that is all. No need to go nuts and start geting political with the blocks, IMHO.
