    At school we have blooming strict filters that filter a site just because it has the word 'bum' in it. Its well annoying! Do you have filters on the computer?

    I work at a sports nutrition company that has a very sensative filter. I can't access any sites that contain the word "breast." As in "chicken breast," the healthy high-protein food. It's very frustrating to try to do any kind of research on the web at work because I see "forbidden by rating check" on about every 4th site I try to access. The filters were even worse at my digital art school, where we couldn't access any sites where it was possible to download anything. I know your pain.

    No filters here i don't think, just if you get caught on something you shouldn't, then bye bye.

    I take it filters can't pick up what's on a board, coz otherwise, you won't be able to access this thread anymore after writing breast.

    When I was in my MS Networking class in high school, me and a few of my classmates were able to get our hands on the username and password to the school's internet filter. We did a lot of stuff we weren't supposed to for about a week...but then some little S$%@head in the class told the administration what we were doing so they changed the password. :(

    Anyways...here at home there are no filters or even the slightest parental controls, except for my dad's account. I set his account to basicly only be usefull to a 5 year old! :evil: :rolling:

    No filters for me, not here, not anywhere, not at school, either. Heh, in my old school, with the admins we had, with the school system not trusting its own certificates and the admins threatening to kill each others and being overtly busy being some of the most popular peiople in the school as well, I don't think the word "filter" even crossed their minds!

    (PAIN!)
