Submitted by nanna2008 on March 9, 2008 - 5:04am.

i just joined. came across this site looking for info on player-burners.
While i was reading some very interesting stuff, i saw where you guys were
telling kids how to get around the firewalls on school computers to get to you tube and other 3rd party sites. I taught school for years, and believe me they don't need help in that dept. You need to be telling administration how to keep them from getting through. I don't want my grandchildren in those sites without supervision, it's way to dangerous. That being said you have some great stuff on this site.
