    Please don't ask or expect us to help you break the school's rules. There is a reason those sites are blocked. You risk getting suspended or expelled if you try to go around your school's rules.

    Besides which, you shouldn't be spending school time playing games. Shame on you for asking.

    I apparently can't give kudos the other way... but Hooray! I feel the same way!

    There is plenty to learn at school. There's no need to learn how to break rules.

    As a teacher I can honestly tell you that Scott Gem is right. You face dire consequeces when you try to get around the school's computer rules. Please listen to his warning or else you might find yourself in trouble that you don't want to be in.

    We here at AMHD cannot help you get around any sort of administrative restrictions imposed on a School, Work, or any other network not owned and operated by yourself. These restrictions can include (but are not limited to): Website Blocking policies, Software Installation policies, Email retention policies, Software Configuration policies, Network/Internet usage policies, Network Configuration policies, Forum or Chat Room Bans, Game Server Bans, or any other actions that are deemed "unauthorized" by the owners/administrators of the network in question. Any actions by members of AMHD that would be offered to help in this manner would directly violate the site's TOS

    Now why do you want to risk suspension, possiblly being expelled, all for the sake of getting around school software blocks? The blocks are there so that students do not waste playing games when they should be studying, doing research, writing, etc. The blocks are also there to protect the school's computers from possible viruses that can be attached to games.

    So do the right thing and use the school computer to earn better grades. You most likely have time at home or a friend's house to play online games.

    As a adult I am paying top dollar for YOU to get a education, I am glad they ban games at your school. Please do not waste my money.
    Now if they would just ban cell phones also I would be a happier tax payer.
