The recent blocking of this forum on my college’s network may have come to your attention.
I also share the same college with the following other forum members: HURRICANE 477, tornadoF3, pigeon man.
This event has largely distrupted our quality of life.
It was a place to come in our timetabled free periods which are otherwise boring.
This morning we made an attempt to re instate the links from our college to this forum.
The actions we took were the following:
Me, tornadoF3 and HURRICANE 477 went to visit the IT teacher. Upon challenging him to provide us with valid reasons as to why the forum was blocked, we recieved the following reply;
“I dunno I aint blocked nothin.”
We then queried why the blocking had occoured, and he stated that it may have happened after actions taken by the network manager because “we went on it too much and it aint educational.”
At this stage, we were beginning to get pÃssed off.
So, It has now come to the stage when we need your help.
We need you to sign a petition in the form of a comment posted below, stating that you think our access should be regained to this forum from our college and that we are critical members and also that the forum has educational values.
Thank you for your help in this matter,
Regards
Luke

The 29th 🙂 sorry mate, I got an exam on the 30th. Ofcourse you can always assist me, but I warn you: the professor is a feminist b!tch who’s focussing on women’s rights instead of on the napoleontic wars!! But Brussels is an interresting place, I’m sure you can fill your days without my professional help ;).
To get back to the original topic. My dear fellow scholars/students, I want to make some comments on the following phrase :
The college does not own us, infact they need us there so they can actually run the sixth form and get paid.
OK, I’m probably the only pr!ck around here, but somebody has to say it.
Maybe this is the reason why they decided to get you guys off the forum. They don’t “need” you there, in fact, you can always quit school and look out for a job (much cheaper!!!), and then you’ll have plenty of time to visit AFM. School is not a prison, it’s a previlige. It’s not up to me to lecture you about the advantages of going to school, but take the opportunities instead of whining about some site you can’t/are not allowed to visit.
Wrong answer I guess? :confused:

Unfortunately Flood, EN830 and I are all very bored and very sad individuals with nothing better to do with our lives – that’s why we spend so long on here.
Just wondering why he put my name first – is he trying to make out that I am sadder than he is????:confused: 😮

Well, that’s fine. After all this is a general discussion forum. But it was more and more beginning to look like a Snapper vs Flood vs you site, you know what I mean?
We welcome all comers to our insignificant little worlds 😉

I’m glad to see Snapper and Flood are getting the blame and not me.We do have a serious side as well, you’ve only got to look at the Historic Aviation forum to see Snappers achievements with his 609 Sqn research. But once in a while it pays to let down your hair and act the fool, where would the world be without a little bit of sillyness from time to time.

Sorry Snapper, I thought that phrase was meant for me.

Just across the courtyard were a few of us upstairs stealing the signal on my laptop :D:D:D. Apparently they were trying for about half an hour to work out who it was playing on all these Flash games before giving up…
lol! Nah, I don’t think that’s possible with our network.

Cheers for the support everyone. I’ll be on later than usual from now on. But only occasionally.
