Popup central. :-/

Most of those kinds of sites tend to be blocked by the filters anyway.

a lot of times you can get in via the ip addy rather than the domain name

Worked for me. Told them to unblock it cause I program computer games. I did one for a project grade for the semester and got a 100% on it. Shut their mouths here at the school.

See, they blocked BYOND like 3 different times because numerous people in my school play games on here. But they unblocked it every time cause I bitched about me using it to create a game for Independant Study... Too bad the class ends for me today. It'll probably be blocked again by next week.

Also, my school is going NUTS. Banning every proxy they could find, even the word proxy is blocked. But I ALWAYS find a way around. ;) The guy in charge of the security HATES me for it.

and i think it's safe to say that many people here would hate you for it too. as i mentioned in a related thread ([link]), attempts to 'cheat the system' do little more than either get you in trouble, get others in trouble, or cause BYOND to get a bad reputation in schools where future plans to promote BYOND's educational benefits will be sabotaged.

better thing to do is to just do the work at home, or at a friend's house.

even better is to promote BYOND's DreamMaker language as an educational tool for game programming and design by having your school administrators contact Tom directly to learn more about the potential BYOND has in their school(s). heck, even write up a kind of proposal as to why BYOND would work as an educational resource in your school. then teachers and school staff can accept BYOND more easily without you needing to sneak around behind their backs.

I got BYOND banned from my school about a year ago. I installed it on my computer in the programming class room and I was sucking up all the bandwidth with DreamSeeker , haha. Needless to say, they caught this and kicked me off for a week.
I haven't tried developer.byond.com though. Me thinks I shall try that. :D
