    Move this if nescessary. I couldnt find a suitable location under the Edu tab...
    Question for students...

    Is Boards.ie banned by your college internet networks filter?

    Please state your college/Uni and Yes or No... oh and if possible, what heading is it banned under i.e. 'Adult content', 'Social networking sites' or 'unsuitable' etc... most filters will give a reason, even if the reason makes no sense.


    Thanks

    There are a few workarounds for blocked boards like www.snyperlikeslittlegirls.boards.ie

    and this is reported by some to work:

    Enter in the boards IP into the address bar http://89.234.66.107/

    still not blocked.
    Was up there with my brothers last week, and I suddenly realised that maybe boards.ie does load 75 times faster up in ut sligo than at my house (in theory)

    Does the question extend to secondary schools?

    Boards should be blocked in all educational establishments. The students of today are tomorrow's leaders. No time for f**king about on the internetz.

    To echo a previous poster:

    University of Limerick, not blocked. But then again ITD have a policy of not blocking anything. It wouldn't be unusual to see lads looking up pr0n in the library...:rolleyes:
