If you go to ranksz.armorbot.com you get to the same site as armor games except 1) there is the old random game box (with no game in it) 2) It's not blocked by my schools internet (yay)

So what's the difference between these?

Well for me, when I go to the link, Firefox automatically says "This connection is untrusted"
So I'm not so sure...

I typed it into a new tab and I'll show you a difference between them.

I've had this problem before. Armorbot is a phishing site.

Oh, hell. Good thing I didn't log onto that site.

It's good that I have WOT.

armorbot.com IS armorgames.com ... I forget why we have it as a domain, but we own it. It's safe.

Well now i believe cormyn because he's one of the web developers but why keep paying for it as a domain if it has no use.

Great, and get it locked for everyone... >

You do realize that they have people who follow along on websites/forums, looking for people posting saying they've found games/sites that the school doesn't block?

No they probably don't, these programs tend to look at the sites meta tag. If you look at Armor Games source it says "Providing the internet with the very best in casual gaming.". This is done so that anyone searching for any words in the meta will find this site. So the programs they use look for "gaming" in the meta and if it's there it restricts access.

(This is all just educated guessing)

I don't know if they do that now because there are tons of websites that aren't blocked and everyone uses.

Like Tank Trouble isn't blocked for us, and it's been used for at least three years.

Yes, this is how some of them work, and since armorbot.com is exactly the same site, it may block it the same as it blocks armorgames.com.

Won't stop me from trying.

Hey, does anyone know any low profile proxy sites? 69google doesn't work anymore.
