forum dead?

Lowky · Post by **Lowky** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 2:21 am

has the forum gone dead with no updates in over 24 hours or am I falling victim somehow to the "great firewall" I can reach the forum just fine but have seen no new posts now for over 24 hours not like this place to be so dead.

I think it's just a matter of nobody having anything to say at the moment.

Yeah, life's been rather boring for me at the moment, nothing new to say.

Well, since the comic hasn't updated for ages, and there's really not anything specific this board is for besides that, and there are maybe a dozen regulars here, there's only so much to say.

This has been a long time coming.

It's not quite dead, it's just pinin' for the fjords.

glad we are still here, since almost every proxy system i have tried for access to youtube and some other sites generally don't allow me to log in. The ban on youtube seriously sucks as people imbed video all over the place. most proxies won't let you access log in, and many don't even allow the video to load/play. As someone who actually used youtube for educational videos and in the classroom (i'm teaching english in china), it is doubly bad for me. a heart fuck you to the "great firewall".

Interesting: I know someone from Arizona who's teaching English in Taiwan ...

leave a computer open at home and browse on that then copy to your local machine?

It's not too terribly difficult to set up if you download the full package, but it's slow as hell. I managed to get it up and running despite not having a clue as to what I was doing, but I ended up uninstalling it the next day because I didn't really have much use for it.

I wouldn't recommend all those tricks to try to sneak around the authorities. Especially not in a place like China.

Lowky, if you try - be very sure about the possible results of what you are doing. I don't know how exactly how they look upon such things, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to be on bad terms with authorities there.

As far as I know China doesn't actually go after people for trying to get around their censorship.

And I second the opinion that Tor really isn't too hard, but it's slow. Really not much good for video. Though I've had some success using services like, keepvid.com through it.

Churba · Post by **Churba** » Fri May 08, 2009 6:57 am

Come on, enticing sexy people to talk nerdy, how could we resist?
