Happy 20th Archive.

Appears that domain name EVEOnline.com started out as a website for a dental, and jewelry tool tip polishing company.

Now, there is the one we all know and love.

What a monster would block site archiving EVE Online? Shocked
Maybe its time to move out from the country of Ayran, if you still can.

I actually have trouble buying a subscription because my bank assumes EVE is trying to scam me Roll, luckily I have a work around.

I wish I had heard about EVE sooner, even though I have played the game off and on for the last 9 years, it would have been fun to be there from the start.

Feel free to join me in game in the "Realm of Mischief" channel.

It is banned because of our ANCIENT constitution's one article. Under the "protection of the youth" chapter,article 58 states:

"The state is responsible of protecting the youth from alcoholism,drug addiction,crime,gambling and similar bad habits and from ignorance and must take necessary precautions."

Archive.org also archives gambling,shock and porn sites.The parents in rural areas don't even know how to power up a computer.So you can't imagine and expect them installing parental control software on a computer.The kids go to internet cafes after school where they aren't supervised.Internet cafes over here are nothing like the exalted game clubs in Bulgaria. So it is up to the government to protect the youth.

Is it a successful move to ban malignant websites? No,not at all.Not when I was in elementary school and not now when I'm middle-aged and see how the children are today. I'll share this quotation with you said by someone familiar:

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." - Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

Our current government wants to change this outdated constitution(dated from 1982) and make a new one instead, but they are met with opposition from Kemalists in the parliament.

It was always like that.

What is frightening, is that they forbid archiving of everything by banning it. So then you wake up one day and there can be peace, love, truth and plenty.
