    Default TORG: A valid school activity

    From report card end of last year. The teacher passed round a slip of paper listing your school related activites (sports teams, debating etc) i put in TORG, or in actual fact "forums.totalwar.org". So now the .org is a recognised activity of St Peters Lutheran College Indooroopilly Campus.

    Any other related incidents where the .org got mentioned?



    (It's not allowed to identify other people and where they work - Beirut)

    Sorry Beirut, I cut that part out.

    Ha! That's hillarious.

    Sadly, it's not really occurred to me to try working in the Org like that....until now, of course.

    Tha is Brilliant!

    wouldn't work at my school, you even mention the word gaming then you get told off...theyve blocked most sites and forums that are to do with gaming aswell
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    I was going to use the Backroom of the org to see how others think. But I have not done that.

    And, if you put this in the Frontroom, the teacher can be looking at this thread right now.

    We have Unreal tournament

    for some reason the school server doesn't detect it, i think they just blocked internet gaming websites and forgot about blocking LAN games

    In my school, all students have access to a common network drive and so you can find warcraft III, starcraft, unreal, ect...

    We were more old-school, CS1.5 on all the PCs and people would bring in their laptops and play. Funny times playing on a laptop during a History class.

    And Internet blocks are, shall we say, a rather meagre method of browsing prevention.

    My school has gone all out this year. Code blocking, flash blocking, website blockers (5 different kinds) it drives me insane

    and auto send when you goto a blocked site so you get auto lock out
