Things to do when your cap runs out

I've edited my post to include some more local sites, also add those you mentioned above. I could always create a new thread with a better version of my post which can then become hopefully sticky, since I'll keep it updated.

Links I added:
Brabysmaps
Funnel
ModernGames
IS gaming
ITweb

I've removed google.co.za, not locally hosted

Games played locally: Warcraft III on gateway war3.co.za, world of warcraft on SA servers, Call of duty 4, havent tried Crysis yet. I wish there were a work-around for steam games such as Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2. We should get our very own local steam server where we also edit the gateway, similar to how Warcraft III works, that would be the *****. It would probably be to much to ask for a steam server that also host the update files.

Then I plot what else to buy next...

And when you really run out of things to do, this one's very interesting and hair-raising
http://www.hellopeter.co.za (it's a relief to see that you are not the only who gets treated like the gum stuck on some big company's shoe.)

Oh yes - this site's also great for all sorts of intersting stuff in the world of marketing (who knew marketing was so interesting?):

Are not zoopy.com and myvideo.co.za hosted international, how would you see those when capped?
 
LOL, www.nag.co.za was the only site I didn't check, Thanks for the update, will fix.

Zoopy and myvideos are the same site, not hosted internationally and if it is, it is still viewable after cap

I think it will be in everyones best interest if we could confirm which of those Games work online after cap.
Also what apps work after cap

I test all sites before adding to make sure they work.

Added, pretty cool how many useful sites SA have. I'm still looking for a software download site, one that host files such as winzip, drivers, winamp, system utilities. Tucows was not hosted locally so I had to remove it. Anyone know of such a site?
 
Sorry for double posting - wanted to show its updated.
Added 21 more sites and 2 new categories. Most of em are from the thread Sites cached on Saix Local

I want to know if its okay if I start a new thread with these sites listed as the first post?
