No, and if the answer was yes, that kind of talk is forbidden on these forums.

My school has several of the 8e6 R3000 filtering servers.
Chiefdelphi was blocked. It took several weeks to fill out paperwork and get the admins to unblock it.

75% of the team websites are also blocked by the filter.

My high school has over 4500 computers; there are only a few people that work at the helpdesk rooms (on each side of the school).

Our schools computers have them, though it's on a new system which is slightly more lenient. I say this because the last filtering system we used was absolutely horrible in the amount of content it blocked. One thing that could be construed as inappropriate for school was shot down almost as soon as it was sent down the pipe.

However, the blocking of http://images.google.com is a bit annoying when you have to get images for a school project.

1293's schools have St. Bernard's filters in place. No real interference with the team's operations--then again, the only sites you really need in the first place are the FIRST site, CD, and kevin.org, so maybe we're just lucky to have unblocked sites.

Having lived with it for at least two years as a student at Irmo, it's not too terrible. You just have to lay off the games and (dare I say it?) use the school computers for school work.
