It isn't blocked. I hate to double post, but another site I've found that prooves that it isn't over sensitive is Uncyclopedia. It isn't blocked.

At school, Blendernation is blocked for "Personal Pages," even though you don't make personal pages on Blendernation. Here at home, Blendernation isn't blocked, and I've tried almost everything I could to find a blocked site that is perfectly fine, and untill now, I have found none. Also, this filter is built into the DNS server we use, not a local proxy server. And the other DNS servers don't work for some reason (I've tried 4.2.2.2, which I used before). The filter/DNS is: http://www.opendns.com/ I've flagged the BMR for review, but that was when I first found this article. No response, and its still blocked.

Official - Perhaps it *would* be worth getting BF support for a repository, if it appears to be successful for a sustained period of time... That would be another step on the road to great Blender support... @Tynach: My guess is overly restricted filters picking up on the word 'model' :P Especially since links on the page also include the words female, etc. (Even if they are all 3D Models)

I concur with the issues of the word official, and licensing. (Just because it says it's free for private and commercial use doesn't mean it'll hold up in a court of law). But essentially, it's a really good idea. Really great. I concur with the issues of the word official, and licensing.

That seems weird. I can guarantee you there's nothing adult about it. More information can be found on the BMR about page: http://e2-productions.com/repository/modules/about/ Well, the official was added as most people thought that Andrew's personal model download page was still the BMR, so they just called it the BMR, so we had to differentiate it a little. Sorry about the confusion ;) Our very important Terms of Service is linked on the about page: http://e2-productions.com/tos/ I quote this line which should answer quite a lot of questions: - All submitted models are for both personal and commercial use, unless stated by the user submitting the model. @Tynach: Really?

The licensing information for each model is essential! It is a nice webpage, but I completely agree with Dalekbell. The licensing information for each model is essential!
