You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''QH2.com''' formerly '''Planetboredom.net''' is a [[website]] which has its roots in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]]. Launched in the late 1990s,<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1998/07/23/summertime-blahs/0322e5eb-742b-4a17-8f10-d196835b45b4/ Washington Post, ''Summertime Blahs'', article by Linton Weeks dated July 23, 1998]</ref> it was owned by Ben Lovatt.

Planetboredom.net allowed its users to submit short movies, games, pictures and view submissions from other users. The website is home to the Bored community, boredomforums.com, and is the most popular part of the website. In 2006 a point system was added which makes it possible for active members to win prizes. The site had almost 7000 registered users.

SmashMyiPod can be considered PlanetBoredom's claim to fame.

==Legal issues==

'''PlanetBoredom vs The Church of Scientology'''

On May 2, 2006, fans of PlanetBoredom attended a free screening of "The Story of Book One" (a film about [[Dianetics]]) at the Toronto Church of [[Scientology]]. Armed with a camcorder, they documented the film and submitted it to Planetboredom. This was met with hostility from the Scientologists.

On May 9, 2006, they received their first email. It was from Ava Paquette, a woman with a long history of legal campaigns against the enemies of Scientology. The administrative team refused to remove the content and were contacted soon after by their web host. He too had received a threatening letter, and had decided to take down the video. There were no shortage of volunteers to resume the hosting, and the downtime was limited to around an hour.

The church threatened lawsuits, to which they replied:
"As much as I would like to comply, but Xenu’s powers are just too strong. Im afraid I don’t have the strength to do what you ask. Perhaps if you send me one of your fantastic books, I could gain the required strength to fight Lord Xenu!" 
They have yet to receive any response.

==Planetboredom Network==
The creators of Planetboredom.net have opened up many websites over the years, which have come together to form the PlanetBoredom Network. Most of these websites have a small user base, and are clones of some of the functions of planetboredom.net, like the database of videos. Others, however, have a bigger user base and function autonomous of planetboredom. Amongst the most notable of these websites are [[Smash Our Stuff]] and TorontoForums. The latter is a community website for the people residing in the [[Greater Toronto Area]].

===SmashOurStuff===
((Update section|date=January 2020))
PlanetBoredom's most famous production is the ongoing [[internet meme]] [http://www.SmashOurStuff.com SmashOurStuff.com]. It started in 2005 with the website [http://www.smashmyipod.com SmashMyiPod.com].<ref>[https://www.cnet.com/culture/site-posts-video-of-ipod-being-smashed/ CNET website, ''Site Post Video of iPod Being Smashed'', article by Michelle Myers dated October 29, 2005]</ref> This website raised money via donations to purchase an iPod for the sake of destroying it right after purchase. The true purpose of this act is still unknown as it was cited as a "Social Experiment". The video was so popular, that they followed up with SmashMyXbox, SmashMyPS3, and SmashMyWii. They have already raised money for all of these items and are just awaiting the date of release.

SmashMyiPod and SmashMyXbox received a lot of media coverage ([http://smashourstuff.com/news.php comprehensive list]).

"When Apple first launched the Macintosh - its original cult product - it produced a famous 1984 Super Bowl commercial that depicted a young woman throwing a sledgehammer through a giant screen, on which a Big Brother-like face is speaking; the screen explodes, the Orwellian drones are liberated, and Apple's message to the IBM monoculture of the day came through loud and clear. We're a long way from 1984. But Victor's rubber mallet, watched by the world, should be familiar enough to make Apple squirm, just a little." ((En dash)) The Globe and Mail
