VGF blocked on campus computers

#1

Post by Dux is not you » Sat May 21, 2011 3:23 pm

I returned to VGF just a few days ago, so I hadn't tried to log in from my university. Today I tried for the first time, and, as it turns out, I can't. :(

That's weird. Where do you go to school?

Sergio Arboleda University, in Colombia. The network blocked access to VGF because it belongs in the "Games" category, which is strange, since magicthegathering.com is also blocked while magiccards.info (a Magic card database) can be accessed.

'Cause nobody wants you hogging a computer uselessly while someone else needs it.

[strike]Except that, you know, there are twenty other computers available.[/strike]

Well, it's still a waste of bandwidth.

[strike]Let's not forget YouTube is perfectly accessible.[/strike]

That's kinda silly. My school just has a priority listing for the campus computers, with games at the bottom, so anyone who needs to do schoolwork can bump people playing games. In 6 years, I think I saw a conflict arise from it once.
Can you still reach VGF from personally-owned computers on campus?

Can you get through proxy sites, or Google Translate / Babelfish?
Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?
