Arwa... thanx...
They knows that everyone having a satellite connection and it getting easier here..
I don't know how these people think ? :( is blocking is the final solution in 21st century... very disappointing and degrading behaviour to block a site without having a logical reason ...
I do support your request and I can go personally to te KACST to talk about it if occured again,,,
We do love usefilm and we hope it'll continue away from the proxy fanatics
Best regards to you and to USEFILM lovers...

Arwa,
I have sent them an unblock request as well:
"Dear sirs,
It has come to my attention that the web site http://www.usefilm.com has been blocked to your internet users.
Perhaps this is due to some misunderstanding as to the nature of the site. Usefilm.com is a worlwide photography-sharing and -critique community where photographers at all levels and from all over the world can discuss, critique and learn about photography.
I believe you do a disservice to your users by not allowing them this opportunity to learn about and/or share photographic skills and techniques, and you do a disservice to other photographers around the world by denying them the insights and talents of your blocked users.
I strongly urge you to reconsider your actions, and unblock this site!
Respectfully,
Dirck DuFlon"

It is unfortunate that this has happened. Anyhow I have just sent in an unblocking request too. But strangely enough I able to access the website. Maybe you need to change your ISP. I pray Insha'Allah the website will be unblocked after all this. Just in case it does not, you may want to change your ISP. However as earlier mentioned by one poster there are still a lot of other ways to bypass KACS. Let me know if you need any help.
Best Regards,
Saqib Zulfiqar

Here is what I sent
This is a site where people who enjoy photography share their pics. It is not political, it is not pornographic, and it shares views of people from all over the world, and from all beliefs. I am very surprised that someone is trying to preclude the Saudi artists to access this site. Please correct the problem. Patrick Barbary, Esq.

There are means that one can by-pass Saudi censors... I will have to ask the geeks tomorrow... it may be to use a server in some distant country... email me... and I will advise the means.
Otherwise the outpouring of your friends may do the trick... let's hope.

Insert: http://www.usefilm.com
To who might be concerned
There may be many reasons for blocking a url, however I suggest that you are in error, in this case, and request that you reconsider your decision.
The blocking of this homepage isn?t logical or just
Its an educational site where people with the interest of photography come to share their knowledge and techniques
This site more that any other on the web supports many Arabs and Muslim photographers.
It is operated by an Arab-Muslim follerer in NewYork.
In addition to all the above by blocking this link you would be blocking the personal web page which is paid for, thus jeopardizing my personal work as a free-lens photographer
on the bases of the above I plead to open this webpage
thank you
Thank You
Your unblock request has been sent, it will be processed within 24 hours and unblocked if appropriate,
if your request has not been processed within 48 hours please contact us at :

Hi,Arwa
This is what I sent to the mentioned:
The http://www.usefilm.com/ site is an online forum for serious photographers, both amateur and professional, all share their experience in photography field.. Neither the site administration nor the photographers display any subject which concern religion or races matters, so please be a help for not blocking such mutual community, which your concern photographers in your country can get and give their experience from all over the world. It is absolutely art concern site.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Arwa,
I wish you luck! I look forward to seeing your next photo on Usefilm. I have really enjoyed your work.
Here is the comment I posted on the website.
"This webpage is a place where amateur and professional photographers alike can share ideas and advice. The advice shared helps individuals develop their skills in photography. It is a shame to be denied this chance to communicate and cooperate with others in the field. Please reconsider the decision to block this site."

Hello Arwa! I'm quite up in arms over here! Just sent an unblocking request + the below text:
"The site is an online forum for serious photographers, both amateurs and professionals - a forum through which they may share their experiences of an important medium.
The site's members come from all over the world. Regardless of origin, age, gender or creed, all of them communicate about matters of photography - aestheical and technical.
There is no sound reason - whatsoever - for blocking this site."
I'm fuming you know! All the best!
