We've rolled out some new Buffalo branded routers to some of our field offices recently which seems to be going pretty well.... until today. They're left with OpenDNS addresses populated and tons of pages the offices are attempting to access (internal and external) are being redirected to SOPAStrike.com instead of the pages they're looking for. Oops.

I hope this is working as intended

Ew why throw in Al Gore for people against it. MANBEARPIG IS COMING.

last year I had to dig my car out of Dulles long term parking after the double snowmageddon blizzard in DC. I was in San Diego. I didn't pack any gloves or shovels.

then I had to come home and dig a parking space for my car in solid ice. I ended up digging a ramp up onto a hill of icy snow. There was a little ramming involved.

wish I had photos of the fun I had while my wife stayed in warm, sunny california.

Is it bad that I knew what was happening in that video even with the sound muted. I just sensed the Benny Hill. I guess my mind is on the same wavelength as the creators.

Anyone else find it mildly ironic that Google, a huge supporter against SOPA is guilty of censorship? That's why I can't say things like ----, ----, ----------er, -------, ----, and ----.

http://f.static.memegenerator.net/ca...3/13387156.jpg

wait wat how does google have anything to do with saying ---- on mt.n?

if you have to ask, youll never know.

Found it, i can no longer give money to mt.n now. I don't see ads in the first place on any websites so i wasn't paying for ad removal. Was paying to support a forum of ass hat trolls that made me laugh, but it's hard to lol when you can't say f u c k. If your getting enough cash for ads to remove nsfw and f u c k then you don't need my money.

we are working on a solution for the the word filter...

It really doesn't bother me that much, and in truth it kinda does give the forum a bad look/feel... What does bother me is Google IS censoring who they sponsor, and in reality they've every right to do so because it's their money.. Just a little ironic.

They aren't censoring--we could pull google ads. It's very appropriate that their clients ask not to be shown on porn/adult sites. That's completely reasonable. So the adult content had to be curbed; our choice. The word filter was implemented, because one of the conditions is no sex stories/advice.

So we dunno if saying "Go funk yourself" would be considered advice, thus breeching the terms and having them pull the ads. Not only do they pull ads off the site, thus removing a large revune stream to keep the site/servers running, but they also blacklist you from google serach page ranks, effectively ruining the website.

To make matters worse, there's no one at google to contact, or get advice/answers from. They unleash spiders on your site, and if they find something they don't like poof, you've just been biten by a black widow. Rick has had two sites now that have been black listed from google, the second from a post made in 2008, the first is now a ghost town and the site probably wont be online much longer.

The NSFW section was always pointless, and it's not worth the risk. And it's not out of the question for us to ask you guys keep this site SFW, I think a large majority of us surf here from work...everything else goes. Had the word filter not been turned on, nothing else would have been noticed as a "change"

Some of you are confused that MT.net is anything but a privately run business that keeps Rick off the welfare. If you think Rick makes bad busines decisions or is taking away things that you believe should exist, then you shouldn't pay him money or use his site.

Free speech has never been a guaranteed right here. If you took it for granted and assumed it was, that's not Rick's fault. He's already doing the minimum amount of policing required to generate income to run the site and feed his wife and kid.

I can almost guarantee that if you find a way around word filters or whatever that the Google spiders can't figure out just so you can say "ҒUСК", it'll probably slide.

I think most of us are bitching simply because we didn't really get a good explanation for why it was done. At first, there was not one at all.

When you "PUT IT LIKE THAT" though, it makes perfect sense and I doubt many of us will still be against it. I mean I was already cool with it as soon as Shiuend/Joe (or whoever it was I dont' remember) told me that google actually pays a good chunk of change to Rick to advertise here, and it outweighs our tree-fiddy a month so we don't get priority.

And yeah, browsing 90% of the time from work, I'd rather have a clean browser open than have to look over my shoulder all the time.

Actually we did explain it (you missed the thread that I ended up deleting), but when we did, you all started commiting sucide, crying about censorship and citing the consitution, went to other sites to ask them to "help us" and ultimately made it a bigger thing than it was.

so it's easier just to turn on a word filter (which I don't like myself), delete the NSFW section (which doesn't belong in the first place), and simply remove anything we think is questionable along the way and could get the site canned.

Your response is the most civil repsonse I've heard about it to date.

So you deleted 99% of Hustler's and Pusha's post?

99% of pusha's, interestingly enough only 20% of Hustler's.

This is overwhelmingly amazing:

Do you know what it's about? I've always loved the switch between 3/4 and 4/4..and the eventual mix of the two signatures between the drums and bass timing in that song.

Maynard is a very smart and clever person...here is a great example of what I mean..

Tool just regurgitates the same stuff on every album.

Ahh Chris Harris at EVO, shame he's left.

He's a very competent racer, but him driving an F1 car really puts it into perspective how mindblowingly quick and hard the cars are to drive.

Ive been a Tool/Perfect circle/Puscifer fan for a long time, but I just now heard about this "hidden" track. Maynard certainly is clever, he never ceases to amaze me.

From what I can tell its 10,000 days playing with Wings for Marie and Viginiti Tres playing back to back over it.

This is one of my favorite albums too. 'The Pot' is such a ridiculous awesome jam.

Not to argue semantics here, but they are censoring.

The way I read that definition, its De facto censorship by proxy: If the sight doesn't censor content they'll pull sponsorship.


Look, I already voiced my opinion in the thread about it. I don't like it, but it is what it is and I'm not arguing or debating it. As a business it makes sense not to lose google as a money maker and I don't blame Rick in the least for his decision.

Just throwing in my :2cents: on the word filters:

So long as it doesn't remove the word from ever being typed, I'm cool with it. ---- is fine imo, nothing irritates me.
