LOL@FILTER!

I really, REALLY hate this stupid filter on the library's computers. It tends to block sites that mention games a lot. Yet I can still read Awkward Zombie and wste my hour at Bulbapedia... O_o; It even blocks me from looking at some of the sites I have labeled in Google! D: So I decided to change some of their names and they're not blocked. Like the "Nintendo" label is now "LUCKY CANDY!". It's because Nintendo translates to "Leave luck to heaven" and the new label name's a bit of an inside joke with a friend after watching the flash "Bowser's Kingdom". These crazy dudes who call themselves "Karate Duo Number 1" often use this product called "Lucky Candy" (pronounced as "Raki Candy", to mock the whole R/L thing) for different things such as reviving other people. Another label I had to change was "games" to "G&W" (y'know, as in Mr. Game & Watch?), which was just some links to flash games. Simple stuff.

It blocks MySpace, which it considered "problem sites" and it also blocks Gaia Online as a "chat site". Oddly enough, I can visit the walkthroughs and forums of Starmen.net, but not the main site itself because it gets blocked under "games". VG Cats is blocked for "games" as well, but not Awkward Zombie? o_ô I wonder if Newgrounds is blocked... Yep, under "pronography/adult content". So's YTMND for the same thing (all I wanted was to see that Noterday one... ;-;) Now if I see an interesting story on Yahoo and it's blocked under "games", I have to bookmark it onto Google so that I can read it when I get to the college to see it. It doesn't block any sites, luckily. ^_^
