ok, so ive survived a full day without censorship.. so im guessing im ok for now.

thanks for the reality check spindles.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. i think my appreciation of TFP jumped another level in the last day or so. and although i am in the clear at the moment, im not out of the woods by the sounds of it just yet.

what i was afraid was that they'd find certain bits of TFP to be not in the moral and social values, and block the whole site. the reason why i like this place is because everyone has an opinion and everyone differs and no one agrees on everything. its almost like..i dunno..housemates.. we all talk, agree, argue, abuse, laugh, share and live within the confines of TFP... everyones welcome to share their story...some of the ideas though may not be in accordance with what the govt thinks is right. even the thought of free thought may be a reason for the ban! who knows! this ruling is encompassing!

i tried a site now... a porn site. this is the note on the page"

"This site is not available in the uae

the internet offers us a great opportunity to communicate, share knowledge and do good.

unfortunately the website you are trying to access has content that may hurt the religious, cultural and moral sentiments of our fellow users in the UAE."

then it goes on to say if u believe this site has been blocked in error please contact the ISP.. it goes on to thank us for understanding.

geez...i will be posting a little bit later..knock on the door!
