The thing is, how the **** did they know about this site?! I've never been to it at school, and I wouldn't even consider that anyone else within a mile knows about this game. o_O
Discuss.

With content filters these days it's really hard to tell without asking the 'powers above' i'm afraid.

It could be anything from the page title, page content (links, words & phrases etc.), domain suffix (.sh) or even the information contained in the meta tags for the site.

It could even be based on server location (geographical) or Network IP based lookup. The possibilities are endless. I wouldn't be wearing a tin foil hat just yet, there's always a logical reason for these things ;)

Well, http://www.ppy.sh/ works, so it can't be the network IP, server location or the domain suffix. Another site I tried out with the word "osu" in the address, page title and page content also worked. So I'm pretty sure it's just the specific address http://osu.ppy.sh/.

http://www.ppy.sh and http://osu.ppy.sh are indeed different network addresses and in different locations so I wouldn't rule that out just yet.

Lucky my uni allows me to go here (I think). That way I'm not eating away at my 1gb quota at home, and I'm almost always reading the forums :)

That's kind of strange. I can possibly set up a mirror if theres enough demand for it! Or if I get enough idle time at work tomorrow ;).

Ok special favour just for you!

http://osu2.ppy.sh

This is a proxy that loads from the same server - so only use if you have to. It will be epically (is that a word) slower.

YAY! Thanks! ^ :D ^
Edit: I've just tried it out in school(I'm using it right now), and it works. :3

Well, I'm glad that the problem has been resolved. Also, I think you should start working on "Michael Jackson - Thriller" pretty soon if you haven't already. Since your work with "Bad" went so well, I think that you're the perfect candidate to bring more songs by the king of pop to this place.

Loginer, if all else fails, try this!

http://www.babelfish.altavista.com

put http://osu.ppy.sh on the "Translate Web Page" line and set the language as Chinese to English. Do i need to explain how this works?

I mainly useD pimpmyip.org and rapidwire.net, but they are both blocked now. I tried Babelfish and Google Translate, both are blocked. And it seems like osu2 just redirects to the normal osu.ppy.sh now(Everywhere, that is).
