Political forum discussion and planning

[Salty]

Probably, that's up to Cain. The plan was to load up a few weeks worth of content before getting new members.

So far I haven't had any word back from Websense, unsprisingly, and haven't had a chance to take a deeper look into a solution. This week I should be able to try some stuff out. Sorry for the delay.

[Cain]

So are we waiting until the nannywall issue is cleared up to start recruiting people?

Basically, yes.  That and get more content up and going.

[Salty]

Ok. So far:

No email back yet.
I reg'd an account at Websense to use their Site Lookup Tool to find it locked for a user of my level.
So I called them back and they again told me that the only way this is handled is through an email to suggest@websense.com.
Currently on hold to discover the turn around time for such an email.

Looks like this fella http://www.cleverdude.com/content/webmaster-tip-verify-your-sites-websense-category/
got to the same place.

So far the most horrible part of this ordeal is the Websense hold music. Fucking criminal.

[Salty]

I have created an escalated case with Websense as they have failed to respond to my emails. I brokered some sympathy from their phone personnel as I am once again poisoned by my food.

I'm guessing we will have to change the domain name. She suggested "dirty" set it off, but I imagine all three words in the current domain are causing their software's asshole to itch.

[Cain]

Alright then.  I'll spend a bit of time brainstorming some decent, SFW names.

[The Johnny]

Does a setlist of SFW names exist? Surely someone else has run into this problem before.

[The Johnny]

I tried, all i got was porn pictures photoshopped to look like SFW... 

At least it was pretty funny

WHY DO YOU KEEP POISONING YOURSELF WITH FOOD.  STOP IT.

[Cain]

I think what Freeky is trying to say is "stop eating, Alty".

[Doktor Howl]

When are we ready?

[Salty]

It's ready as soon as everyone can see it at their work. I would still very much like some kind of guideline BEFORE trying a new domain but I realize that's doubtful.

I will register two of the possibles and test the most harmless sounding one, or a different kind of domain that I need anyway, against the one chosen. If it comes to that.
