Silvercharm Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 No problem here. Copied and pasted the URL and the website seems fine. Not sure what the writing is in Thai, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuky Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 fine or me too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsie Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Not sure what the writing is in Thai, however. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It said, the website has been blocked by Ministry of Information and Communication Technology. Should you have any questions or complaints, send email to the stated address. But I can access the site no problem. Using Samart Infonet and connecting from North of Bangkok.

ChrisP Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Hmmm.. would this happen to be form of official censorship..? ChrisP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsie Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I believe so. It's in the news on Thai Version that MICT has informed all ISPs in Thailand to block about 2,500 websites (pornography, gamble, or lese majeste) as the government cannot shut websites hosted outside Thailand down.

Ijustwannateach Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Well, as the above mentioned website is primarily a dating/social forum, I guess it's time to get the "Ministry" to go after all the straight dating forums, too- "morality" crusades always wind up going overboard and shooting themselves in the mouth eventually.

a1falang Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hmmm, I can access it again now, like it never happened. Interesting. Some of my friends weren't blocked in the first place. I have True DSL, so maybe it was a a True initiative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 They PROBABLY blocked it for the nud_e pictures ... but since it is not on the "official" list of bad sites unblocked it when they got complaints. Try using a proxy-server based outside of Thailand if you have problems accessing sites in the future. There are at least 4 that you can access via the web w/o changing any of your settings.

astral Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 You can access the site by typing in 64.38.234.63 instead of www.gaydar.com. This bypasses the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdinasia Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 google proxy servers and try web-based proxy servers too. Might be worth raising the question in the computers technical forum too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
