Fun story about that:

The new blocking system was introduced right when I got into high school. What it does is it blocks off sites with certain trigger words or links, so that cuts off all sorts of entertainment, gaming sites, blogs, and things your grandmother wouldn't like to see, but what it also does is keep a log of frequently visited sites. If enough students find a proxy or bypass and use it, that site ends up getting blocked as well under whatever grounds they see fit. This has backfired as sites like Wikipedia, Yahoo, and at one point even Google itself got blocked. Myself and Waddle, before he graduated obviously, managed to use FB enough times that the Wikia server in its entirety got blocked off, so the teachers had to call up the services to get it unblocked, and we'd repeat the cycle of FB usage-->All of Wikia is blocked-->All of Wikia is unblocked, back to FB usage for a long while. However, Wikia's been blocked for about a year and a half now and I can't seem to get any good proxies/programs to work, so I mostly rely on Google Docs to get my work done.
