an idea
in my school the comics then selves are blocked, but not the rest of the site. The idea is if the comics themselves could be emailed out to those who subscribe. plus the ability to check any comic.

Re: an idea
Hm... I dunno... I don't work here or anything but it sounds like a lot of work. Although an OOTS mailing list would be cool... I think it's just one more project that Rich would end up being in charge of.
Same thing happened to me when I was serving in Korea, I couldn't view the comics but I had access to the forums. :-/ Wish I could help you... have you tried asking a friend from school to e-mail them to you?The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." - George Carlin

Re: an idea
Reminds me of a games-forum I once developed for. The trick to getting around 90% of the site-filters (including a US-military one) was to rename a file called game.php to thread.php and suddenly the site was off their radars.
Not that it is always that easy but some of the filters are somewhat easy to dodge.I played: Arin of the Silver Tongue, Barri Poari

Re: an idea
In another thread somewhere in this forum, someone once requested that the comic be linked into some sort of program (I forget what
... an RSS feed?no, not an RSS feed) that compiled a bunch of different webcomics for easy viewing. His answer to that was that he would not do it because to comic is a means for promoting himself as a game designer, and if people do not have to come to the site to read the comics, then they won't be hearing about him as a game designer, merely as a webcomic artist.DON'T PANIC

Re: an idea
I have a filter on my internet access at work. Weirdly it lets me onto this site and view all of it.
I do have trouble seeing some of the avatar pics though (like El Jaspero and Rawhide) which can get quite annoying in the silly games section. I assume this is because the image hosting sites they have chosen are blocked.
In general filters are there for a reason but tend to act a little draconian by blocking anything and everything that vaguely fits the parameters even if it is just part of a name (I couldn't view a recipe because it was for GAME pie and games are banned by the filter!!!).

Re: an idea
Odd that it should block my avatar. It is hosted by an actual commercial ISP/webhost.

Re: an idea
hrmf...I tried to create an alternate name for the comic script, but the server doesn't like it. Maybe I'll go and play with it later.

This works by putting oots+4 figure comic number (ie oots0001). Not for all the strips though? Although you may be able to use the "Next" button to scroll through them.
