Y-Corner

As most of you know, the government of China actively censors and blocks websites that it deems 'harmful' or critical of the Chinese government. The Chinese call it the 'Golden Shield Project', but it's better known as the 'Great Firewall of China' to the West.

There's a neat website tester tool that I found that checks to see if certain websites are blocked to Chinese web viewers.

Websites like Wikipedia, BBC, Youtube, etc. are blocked, probably because China doesn't want it's citizens from learning about Tiananmen, Tibet, Taiwan, etc.

I did a test on our forums for kicks, and it looks like Y-Corner is blocked by the Great Firewall of China, for some reason. ??? Test it out with these URLs:

Strangely our forum host, Proboards.com, is not blocked by the Chinese firewall. ??? I guess the Chinese government feels that our count to infinity and RO topics are deemed unsuitable to it's citizens.

Omg, I laughed at this. Lets be silent on forums activities when in china xD, what else can I say. They got some problem with count to infinity =P

so thats why we dont have chineese ppl in the forum

omg, I feel sorry for the chinese people... they will have to count to infinity on they own forums XP

LOL .. is RO also unsuitable to them ???

How can they play WOW???????

Geography lesson:
Teacher: Now class, think please, why is killing little girls in China so dangerous... I'll give you a hint - there's a great disproportion between girls and boys. So, what will eventually occur?
My classmate: mass homosexualism!

Beware of China

O.o I never thought of that, but now I wanna avoid China suddenly... I wonder what the M/F ratio is over there currently?

Interesting... a whim I tried a bunch of comics I read and a few other sites and they all worked. China doesn't mind random comics and gaming websites apparently XD It's odd, because some of that stuff is much weirder than anything on YC. The count must be more horrible to the Chinese government than we could imagine XD
