Yeah, the chat client has an outdated security certificate. A bit of a bummer that it has this really... If you want to use the web chat you can use Freenode webchat to get connected to freenode. You can then join the Dinkchat by joining #dinksmallwood (just type: /join #dinksmallwood).

The Dink Smallwood chat is an IRC channel, so you could use an IRC client like IceChat. I use Pidgin, which, in addition to IRC, also lets me log in to AIM, Yahoo, and other IM services at the same time.

What kind of a blocker are they using? Can you open it up and does it ask for a password to turn it off, or something? I may be able to help you to take the block down if you tell me.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. This may only work if your parents have their own users on the PC. And even then the chances aren't certain.

Okay, so listen very closely bud. What you gotta do is go to www.k9webprotection.com. Click on theInstant Support link and type "forgotten password" in the search bar at the website. There you should be able to set a new password for k9 without knowing your previous one.

There is an program called ultra surf. that's what I did because my parents installed K9 and my friend told me 'hey, use ultra surf' It really worked. It unblocks every site that there is blocked!! if you go to control panel and go on add or remove programes you should be able to remove it completely

That's disappointing, for us too and not just for you. But I hope you won't let it get you down too much. Someday you'll be too old for your parents to block your Internet. But in the meantime, life is full of tons of things to do and people to know, even offline. Try out a bunch of those to keep yourself occupied until then.

Dinkulum. It's not only disappointing, but he really IS getting a little too old for that kinda parenting. Not only is it sort of "wrong" from his parents, it's also overprotective, weird and even disturbing. If they blocked almost all the sites to prevent communication, it's sorta stupid thing to do, but I can still understand that. However, if they block all the sites just cause they're afraid that he'll watch porn, that is probably the stupidest thing I've heard in the last half a decade. About all the kids know most about porn/sex/whateverthehell before first grade. Then again, maybe it's off better of Kerrek. At least he won't make some uneraseable mistakes like some.

Jobs for kids aren't that good. They pay like, I don't know, two dollars per day? Which means he'd have to work for over a year. Which means that he'd have to look different jobs all over the year.

You should really have an open conversation with your parents. Preferably the one who you believe will be more understanding. I'd assume it would be your father in this case. Or... if that doesn't work, use a chainsaw.

I for one applaud your parents for caring about you enough to watch out for you this way. The internet is filled with some pretty bad shoot so yay them for giving a dang about you and putting up some safeguards and limits - some kids grow up with noone caring about them or watching their backs, so count your blessings and not whine about the rest.

MsDink, I do realize protection is good. However, overprotection is not. There are three possibilities that will happen: Kerrek's parents will never let him go, Kerrek becomes dependant on his parents, Kerrek will have no idea about what life really is like if his parents keep him under their wings until he's an adult.
