The worst part is when we had to start blocking the sites from his parents ourselves x.x (so they quit stalking him) such as the IRC logs

Ya, it has all seemed really dumb and I am very sorry about this SirCmpwn. Why exactly do they restrict the Omnimaga/Cemetech/etc. activity? If you don't mind answering. I mean the only reason I could even think of is if like it was affecting grades and such like that (which I would understand at that point but I don't see that being an issue).

By the way, if Omnimaga is unblocked by his parents couldn't they still check what we are saying here? If so, I would watch what is said about them because then they might feel "a bit" inclined to block it again. Just a thought.

From what I could understand they sometimes blocked anything calc-related

-They are on a crusade to remove everything SirCmpwn enjoys. If he starts liking a site, he'll get it blocked. I wouldn't be surprised if Cemetech got blocked too, soon. Apparently, all he could browse at one point was Ticalc.org. Even pastebin.com was blocked!
-They CRACKED his forum account once and hacked it twice! Cracking is illegal. In their case, their actions involved compromising his account on my forum by changing his personal info and passwords. Sadly, since no money loss is involved, no legal actions can be done. Still, it is something that is against the law.
-If I remember they bruteforced his passwords for e-mail and stuff a few times too.
-They monitor our IRC logs to stalk him. I believe Netham45 banned their IP a few times too.
-Other stuff happened as well, which I do not know, but bad enough to make Sir flee his home.

So yeah, I can't wait until Summer 2011.

They were actually trying to eavesdrop on his IRC conversations? o_0

Sheesh. If I were SirCmpwn, I would just start using public computers at libraries, or get my own laptop.

If he has access to a personal computer that's his, he can consider doing a full-volume encryption of the HD. Only he would have access to it, and all contents therein. Without his password, his parents wouldn't be able to salvage anything off the disk. I can walk him through that process...

If his parents would refuse to allow him Internet access for having a secured computer, he can consider getting a cheap netbook. They're ultra-portable, and could be easily hidden from his parents.

Sadly all the library computers he got access to have Omnimaga blocked on them

Also I don't think he has his own computer. It seems to be a family one.

They could also potentially threaten his possessions again to gain the passwords.

also if I was him I wouldn't pay for his home computer if he can't use it at all (too late if he already did tho :P).


Regardless, I wish him good luck, and hope he can access the site as often as possible. And judging by the comments by forum members, a lot of people appreciate him on the forums

I think SirCmpwn should use a portable anonymous web browser running from a flash drive (can be easily hidden). Firefox 3.6 can do the trick.

I really should move my big historic to a safe place soon. :P I am getting a bit paranoiac after reading this topic. (I have about 12700 visits to Omnimaga xD)

Altough maybe his parents could eventually notice something weird and discover about the flash drive. Also what if the computer has all USB ports disabled (like at the Internet Cafe I used in 2007 when I had no internet at home) or no USB port at all?

It can happen. Also I have seen computers very restricted overall on purpose. It is rare but you can only browse the Internet practically for research, you can't execute anything except notepad, wordpad, paint, calculator, my documents folder, IE and OpenOffice.

That'd be even worse. If they ever take the time to disable the USB ports, he wouldn't even be able to link his calculator.

I think SirCmpwn should use a portable anonymous web browser running from a flash drive (can be easily hidden). Firefox 3.6 can do the trick.

I'd personally rather use Safari (for Mac or Windows) for that purpose. It's small, really fast (to start up, browse, and, most importantly, to close), goes into a "private browsing" mode in just two clicks, and downloads files easily. The only annoying thing is that when it installs (which took less than five seconds when I tried it), it saves a copy of the installer under Start Menu > Programs, so if you ever use it, make sure to delete that copy.

That happens at half (the kids section) the computers at my library too.  It's blocked for being a "Chat Site". =/

Go to http://www.ioage.com/en/download.htm for the newest version.
I might try this browser... And yes, it does seem that it may be useful to Sir.
