...can you just quickly go to www.gorblimey.com and tell me if you can see anything? A few people who are in China have been complaining that Gorblimey has been down for some months, but it hasn't. I'm starting to wonder if it's banned, or something. (I can't imagine why it would be banned...but one never knows.)

I just moved to Malaysia a month ago. . .. or else I'd check for you.

They don't just ban sites--they ban entire routers that has questionable websites going through it--so if your site can't be seen in China, it might not be the content of your site, but the router it goes through. Now that I'm in Malaysia, I can see just about all the sites I couldn't see in China.

For some more Communist fun, check out the following.

They have a topic on the left "Outlawing Falun Gong cult" but when you click it, the article is not there Smile

Damn. According to this site: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/filtering/china/test/

...my site is, indeed, inaccessible in China. Stupid damn censoring. I was wondering why the hell so many people couldn't see it.
