I know nobody comes into the forums anymore, but if any straggler wonders by here and reads this, I'm curious if you can access Project Cheddar from your school. I won't be reinstating the clone sites or anything like that, but I'm still wondering if good ol' projectcheddar.com can be used at any school at all. If you can, can you tell me what part of the world you're from?

Unfortunately Project Cheddar does not work at my school, I know it used it be a hot site with all my friends (I'm in high school, btw). Oh well, time to mature up .

Thanks for the info!

I pretty much expect cheddar not to work at schools anymore, based on my stats that show as much. It's frustrating, so much so I almost want to rename Cheddar just to bypass the filters... but then I know they'll just block the new name.

were the forum that says all the clones cause i forgot them all but projectkey.info that all i remember so tso ya that would be helpful thx

Sorry, the clone sites are gone. They have been for awhile. I made a lengthy frontpage post explaining the reasons why a few months ago, but basically it boiled down to this.

No matter what I did to shield the clone sites from the all mighty Google, Google kept linking the clone sites to Cheddar. Because of that, Google considered Cheddar and the clones the same, and punished all sites accordingly for trying to "game the system" using multiple addresses for the same site. Project Cheddar was not showing up on any search results (other than people googling "project cheddar"). No new visitors were discovering this website, and over time I was losing current visitors to natural migration (ie People leave school and don't need cheddar anymore, they lost interest in flash gaming, things like that).

Really though, if students showed real interest in the clone sites, I would have saved them. Google isn't essential to survival, but without it I needed people promoting the clones on other sites to bring in new traffic. As it stood, I hardly got any feedback for the need of the clones, so I had no choice but to assume only a handful of people were using them. So I killed the clones to try to save the main site.

Search results have improved... slowly. It's been a painful recovery, and it could still take months, maybe years to get back to pre-clone search result levels.

o ok well thx ya lets hope more people will start coming again
