You're all banned! :(

[Lee]

They've done it - this time they have gone too far! Iceinspace is now banned on the defence restricted network..... Damn fun police! Now what am I supposed to do between 8 and 4!

:tasdevil:

I can't acess IIS at TAFE either :mad2:

[iceman]

lol doh, the day they ban it from my work I hand in my resignation! ;)

I can't get by without being able to access during the day! :)

You could try accessing through an internet proxy?

[[1ponders]]

It's not banned at my TAFE. :) Though with the foibles of of bureaucracy who knows how long that will last :scared:

[mickoking]

I can acess other forums OK. The wowser software at my campus considers IIS as a chat room :shrug: Its been like that for the last 2 months.

[[1ponders]]

Ah well Micko. I guess there are tafes and then there are TAFEs :D

[mickoking]

Spewin :P

[[1ponders]]

:lol:

I don't know how long it will last though. exMember nightshift is our manager of IT services :scared:

If your out there Dennis, DONT DO IT :prey:

[spacezebra]

They are no fun. I work with secure networks too and we are locked out of pretty much everything.

Cheers Petra

If you think the "fun police" are hard, try contracting to the Qld Police! The entire network is monitored, many sites are blockaded, and somebody is watching your every move. Paranoia has nothing on these boys!

[h0ughy]

Ex Member??? didn't I met him up at duckadang? PM me:shrug:

[janoskiss]

Lee has posted a reply but I mangled it. Sorry, Lee!! Sent you a PM. :ashamed:

[Lee]

[janoskiss]

Thanks for being such a good sport Lee. Sin-bin well deserved! :ashamed:

[h0ughy]

:scared:

Go delete some of vings!!!!!! hey wouldn't he be a cut snake if they banned IIS from the library:scared: :scared: :scared: :whistle:

or me for that matter:doh: :sadeyes:

[Lee]

They haven't killed cloudynights yet..... but it can only partially soothe the pain of the loss of ice! :(

[Ric]

We have a free run where I am for the moment no restrictions on anything, I dont know how long it will last but I'll keep on enjoying it while it lasts.

cheers

[OneOfOne]

Are you trying to access through the library? My wife works for the Frankston Council Library Service and she has said that they cannot ban any access, including "naughty" sites as it is considered a restriction of information access and is against one of their "prime directives" (free access to all information to all). I would expect this MAY apply to TAFE as well or any government run information access resource (library).

My experience in working with "enforcement" type organisations, like the police, is that unfortunatley they are not pleasant places to work. It doesn't surprise me that they take a heavy handed approach, I have often felt like I worked with a bunch of vindictive misfits in a very short previous life. I think its the nature of their task. Wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of the stick, as they say. :eyepop:

[ving]

hey! dont even joke about that!!!:eyepop:

:P

[Crash Nebula]

If you want to get on it at work/school etc, just use a proxy site.

E.G- www.unipeak.net
www.mathpartyanimals.com

Our IT Gurus let us browse the internet. Cheers Boeing.
But they do monitor the web addresses closely for mis-use.
Astronomy is much more exciting at my age anyway. :lol: :whistle:

Mike.

[Lee]

I'd be VERY surprised if any of those are open.....

[mickoking]

Sites with content that includes hacking or pornography are blocked but I can't see how IIS warrants censorship?

What annoys me is that there is censorship in the first place. I am studying web design and it is a real pain when you can't acsess certain sites pertaining to my study. I am a fully grown adult (mentally, I dunno:P ) and I hate being dictated by 'the man' what I can and cannot see or do.

[GrahamL]

LOL.. how do you guys fit work /study into these busy days you all enjoy:lol:?

[Lee]

Work for the government! :lol::lol::lol:

[lost_in_space]

Oxymoron:P

[AstroJunk]

NOW you tell me ;)

[iluvsaturn]

The beauty about my other job is I control the network. I know I don't post near as many as you other guys but I love being able to have access 24/7 to IceInSpace, it's adamn good forum!

[Shawn]

Thats a relief,,I Got the wrong idea with the thread title, I was going to nip outside and shoot myself...LOL...

Doesnt affect me,,,na na na na na...:lol:

[ving]

oxymoron? tell me about it, i work in govt :P

[mattweather]

Oh well, bad luck for you all:)
