College and Apricity

[BiałaZemsta]

I am going to be living on Campus in about a week. I will be using their provided internet service. Do I risk getting thrown out of school for browsing this site? Does anyone have any experience in this area?

Tell them we the forum is very diverse, what with ching-chong lover boys and token ethnic minorities.

I frequently visited Apricity from my work (a Canadian university) with mostly Chinese and Korean coworkers around...I was careful not to leave any swastikas (which are thankfully fairly rare) on the screen while I was away from my desk, but that was pretty much it. I didn't get in trouble.

I doubt this would even be blocked by the Florida Public School system, which is an accomplishment. I know it blocks Skadi.

nah. Normally campus computer centres are staffed by postgrad students doing their own stuff who couldn't be arsed. So it's not like they'll be checking who's accessing what other than the obvious porn torrents, which always trigger an alarm; or massive downloads of films/music for that matter. And even on a campus server you can go through proxies.
Internet security depends on how much time the other person wants to spend on screwing you up... do you think that with all that's going on in an university - including parties - anyone will bother with you accessing this forum?

At least in my times everything was OK (piracy, porn, etc...) with the exception of wasting too much toner on your personal hobbies. Always remembered being asking for what the fuck "Rage Against the Machine" means...with such a ludite name I steadily decided to confess the almost suspicious administrator the truth: "it was just music (nothing to do with destroy your precious computer resources)". Obviously the poor dude was subsequently strongly bashing at my comrades for her blatant musical inculture.

Probably safe. There's nothing which really stands out, and nobody has nazi-esque avatars and usernames.

Apricity is kosher, don't worry

Same, though I don't have many coworkers around. I also accessed Skadi and Stirpes when I used to live on campus.

I don't even see why you would get kicked out for accessing a National Socialist German Workers' Party website, if one hypothetically existed. How can they hold one's existent or non-existent political beliefs against you? You are in New England, not Germany.
