Okay, so I downloaded an update to Windows Media Player, and now when I try to go to the HFL web site, I get this:


This site is blocked by the SonicWALL Content Filter Service.

URL: http://www.shalkith.com/forum/

Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category "Cult/Occult"

I didn't know I had this service. I think it's pretty funny -- I guess they're on target, since the main purpose for that site is to promote Thul's book and strategy game, which are fantasy-related. But Cult/Occult? Geez, would they block my attempt to get to a Lord of the Rings site? Or Harry Potter? And more importantly, how the heck do I get to the site?

I am of no help, but now I'm a little hesitant of checking that site again. You can't turn me - you can't. I'm a sovereign star and I'll just wear earmuffs and Jack Onassis shades for the rest of my life.

If you don't count the time that I washed Suicane's car while wearing a speedo, I'm as pure and clean as the Osmonds.

And to think, Suicane coaches the worst team in the league. Imagine what kind of benefits the playoff teams get!

Wacky...the people at that "service" probably didn't even bother browsing the main site. They just saw the product with the big dragon on the cover, and thought devil-worshipper! Laughable.

Hey, but at least they noticed me :)

Edit: I wonder if they banned my childrens book, too. :D

Yeah, I really don't see how the two programs are related. I don't think Microsoft is that careless (and evil?).

Yeah, that was just a coincidence -- it looks like the place where I connect from was the ones with the blocker, since I could do it fine using my cell phone. I think it has to do with the unusual way I log online.
