I couldn't got on EC at Livermore. The security was insane.

You know those asd that will be on email sites or other random places? Those were blocked.

I have wi-fi (somehow) in the parking lot where I work, so when I take my state-mandated minor half-hour break, I just get in my car and whip out my iPod Touch. It's great. I usually have enough time to browse some threads.

I doubt very much that I would be able to get onto EC at school, of course. I'm sure good old Cyber Patrol would be all over anything with the word "gay" in it.

Swamp56 · 12th Jan 2009, 12:57 PM

My school doesn't block it, no :P .

Brandford · 12th Jan 2009, 02:50 PM

My school blocks it which irritates me because this is a PG-13 site

xballetxbeautyx · 12th Jan 2009, 02:52 PM

It's not blocked at my school but I never go on. There are too many scary high schoolers in the library!

Nick · 12th Jan 2009, 02:56 PM

Even though I'm on good terms with the techies, I'm too scared of what would happen if something came of it (They check files, as well as websites visited...). So I usually wait until I get home.

**Maddy** · 12th Jan 2009, 04:10 PM

I never tried it at school, I didn't want to take the risk of being caught. The computers were clearly visible from the librarian's desk.

McBenz · 12th Jan 2009, 04:19 PM

i've honestly never tried because there are always people around, but i'm pretty sure it's blocked

Trumpetplyer23 · 12th Jan 2009, 04:35 PM

I got bored in my class one time, so I tried to get on, but I was blocked.

MY school's security system is whack! I was looking up batting gloves and they were blocked because of "Sexual content".

IamAninja · 12th Jan 2009, 04:43 PM

I've used it many times (but I say late because my mom is the head of school).

littledinosaurs · 12th Jan 2009, 04:46 PM

I wanna try to see what happens.

jazzrawr · 12th Jan 2009, 04:46 PM

I can get to it from my school, but it's always in a computer lab with 20 other people around me, so I don't.

BlakeHarmony · 12th Jan 2009, 04:49 PM

I probably could, but I haven't tried and don't plan to...

SkyTears · 12th Jan 2009, 04:51 PM

I don't when I'm school just because I like to do my school work when I'm at school. I know weird right? My school doesn't have any blocking software for the internet so I know I could if I really wanted to. As for my work our computers only go to the store database

justinishere · 12th Jan 2009, 04:59 PM

Suprisingly I get it at my school! They are so strict they even blocked Sparknotes! But not EC!!! YAY!!

davo-man · 12th Jan 2009, 06:26 PM

I go on at uni when I'm attempting to procrastinate

12th Jan 2009, 06:27 PM

I can get on at my school library, but it's a college so it would be weird to be blocked.

I can't do anything on my work computers (I work at a junior high). The most interesting thing I can do is check my school email.

Nodnarb · 12th Jan 2009, 06:29 PM

I doubt I could. The WebHawk would probably come up with some reason to block it. It's even difficult to do any research on the Internet at school because the WebHawk blocks random sites that have nothing 'bad' on them.

Bunny · 12th Jan 2009, 07:14 PM

I've been on EC at school.

Why would anyone have a problem with it? It's not porn, it's not offensive, it's a support site.
