Given that this post is pointless and mundane, I didn't really know where to put it. But I thought our little community might find this amusing.
(Fogive me Mods, if I have sinned.)
The SmugMug site is not a site that is censored by the Chinese government, but Flikr is. :scratch
Link to censor testing site (http://greatfirewallofchina.org/test/).

Link to censor testing site (http://greatfirewallofchina.org/test/).The main reason that flikr.com is not available, is because it doesn't exist :) it's flickr.com
we knew about smugmug btw (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=55661)

Um. Is there an embarrassed smilie? Sheesh. That'll teach me.
Sorry for wasting bandwidth. Won't happen again. I'll stick to serious questions and comments.

I see that theonion.com, foxnews.com and drudgereport.com are all available. I guess the Chinese government isn't concerned with blocking news parody sites :lol3
