In Response To: Re: hey Wu, funny story btw. (Louis Wu)


: This makes no sense to me; why would you ban part of a domain? (ie why is
: carnage okay when halo is not?)

Ironically, the filtering is called Websense. This is all it tells me:
--Reason: The Websense category "Games" is filtered.
I don't know if the difference between the blocks is the 'carnage' vs 'halo' parts of the address, all I know is that the HBO forums aren't blocked.

It really does seem kind of random:
Facebook: OK
Gmail: BLOCKED
Gizmodo: OK
Kotaku: BLOCKED (although very rarely it is OK)
HBO forum: OK
NeoGAF forum: OK
HBO frontpage: BLOCKED
nobleactual: OK

: I've learned, from experience, that anything I frontpage HAS to be rehosted;
: not just because we cause a bandwidth hit at the beginning (it used to be
: far worse than it is now), but because 3 years from now, all of those
: pictures will be gone from other sites, and our news posts will be broken.

So my pictures will live on in posterity? :D
