Galaxiki.org

I started off looking for a site with games and entertainment. I chose the 1st place winner in the category : Zango.com. Well, it is blocked by our filters...even though I have a password to override, I was reluctant because of the reasons WHY it was blocked (yeah, including pornography). Nice. So, I opened up the 2nd and 3rd place sites to see if they were blocked as well. Doof.com wasn't blocked but it wanted me to install activex control on the computer...which doesn't work because I do not have the authority...strike #2. SO, 2nd place winner Galaxiki.org was the only one that seemed to go off without a glitch. I am glad that I stuck with the games and entertainment category. Galaxiki is a fun wiki site which lets its members change information about stars in the galaxy. You can use the browser to "beam" you to a random star or "wormhole" to a random location in the galaxy. You are also able to "buy" stars as gifts and name them in honor of other people. I like the way that the site is presented. It's user friendly and fun. If you like space, I would definitely recommend this for an interesting stress reliever.
