omgz omgz newgrounds doesnt censor shit! are citizens should not be exposed!

thats too bad about the chinese government (or whoever does that). Most proxies don't show javascript or Flash, If i'm correct, because ive never been able to do certain things around on the website (like logging in) whilst on a proxy. Maybye I'm wrong.

Nice work at the Comic-Con.

Why Does China Do This? Its Not Like We Are A Threat Or Something.. I Mean Holy Hell, Theres So Many Stuff In The Streets Of China That Should Be Fixed Yet They Rather Focus On Unimportant Stuff Like Banning Websites! And What So Wrong With Newgrounds? Sure, Theres A Mature Content Section, But Its Not The Main Part Of The Site! Maybe China Is Pissed That We Keep Making Fun Of Them In The BBS (Art Forum) In Other News.. I Guess I Missed Alot At Comic-Con. I Guess I'll Have To Go Next Year .. Oh Well.. I'm Tired Too.. Bed Time!

This is why I am proud to be an American. Government doesn't control what I do (although there are some nut jobs that would disagree). I submit movies of whatever I want, watch things I can't believe submitted by other people. I think that China should worry about other stuff then blocking websites. For one thing there is 1,321,851,888 people in china (according to Google). I say fuck their government. Oh well. Good luck getting some sleep Tom. I'm having some trouble myself =P.

Hope next comic con... im be there!!! hahaha

china-men got their hands on flash!!21.223edncc

Sleep, baby sleep. And think about who would Jesus bomb.

Well... welcome back.

(lets raid China?)

Pfft, they block everything on the internet because of all the copyright problems over there I bet.

I mean come on, they have a chinese knock off of Disney Land, for real, stolen characters from all over and even copying Mickey Mouse, claiming it's an original character who is a cat with big ears.

I wonder if China blocked youtube.

Eitherway comic-con sounds exciting, but exciting like a dream job so it's still work. :p
It'd be nice to see what it's like sometime.

So does this mean we can be incredibly hateful to the Chinese now? No one on NG is going to take offense now, except those white, bleeding-heart assholes who are offended by everything that is targeted toward anyone but themselves.

That's a real shame. There is so much artistic talent (and flash talent especially) in China. I was expecting Chinese talent to start submitting lots of quality stuff to Newgrounds as the site got out there more. I guess that isn't going to happen now :(

This means no more Xiao Xiao, haha, like hes actually put anything on here in years. I'm glad you guys didn't die or anything, I'm coming there next year, or the one after to meet you guys. I feel like I'm missing out on so much. It sucks that you have to waste your time going through PMs and emails though. I always feel bad when PMing you.

But hey, I got my first weekly award!

Fuck China. Bah.

Glad Comic-Con was awesome. It was pretty awesome watching the webcam, heh.

NOW GET BACK TO WORK MISTER :-D

Good night, tom, good night.

Can they really block off all of China from Newgrounds? I mean come on!

NG is blocked in China... because of no censors and adult content? Well here's something for China: ...I can't curse in Chinese, fuck. Anyway they've blocked every porn site known to man, every flash site, every site with video hosting, and all forums. As long as it's hosted from an American IP. There's a site out there with a list of all the sites China blocked.

the chinese government is so corupt. Who wouldent be with so many tiny yellow people working for you though? There like oompaloompas in a computer factory

at least all the flashes won't end up on chinsworld.com

The china thing is a thing they are putting in effect to limit internet usage there because of the so many kids that are constantly on.

I think they did something to limite internet use to 4 hours a day.

That would suck.
Welcome back Tom

PLEASE RESPOND TO MY MAIL! I'm desperate already! lol
I need my game on newgrounds!

Don't forget to eat pie before you go to bed, or maybe a muffin.....
MUFFINZ ROCK!!!!!!!

I had no idea that China had that kind of repression regarding censorship. Ironically I'm going to move to Beijing (I live in Mexico City) in a couple of months and I was planning to start doing flash games and movies and post them here on NG... seems like I gotta learn about proxys and shit like that. :(

I know the feeling of adjusting to sleeping in differing time zones because I visit Lithuania nearly every summer, it sucks, but you adjust quick.

Also, I just today got my stickers. The Comic-Con 07 card and the Tankmen + Pico stickers are awesome! Thanks Tom : )

i was in china when it happened, i was like WTF???
i tought that the site was off for some time but after a week of it i knew china had another victim.

HOW DARE THOSE CHINESE F***KERS BLOCK US?!!
Seriously, what did we do? It's not like we're bad or anything. Having an entire country block us sucks @$$ (especially if it's the one with the biggest population). I'm sure glad I'm not Chinese. I can see anything I want anywhere on the Internet.
If I ever learn to hack, the chinese government is gonna be #1 on my hit-list.

Well, just the People's Republic of China....not those autonomus regions (Hong Kong, and Macau), or the Republic of China (Taiwan).....It's all fucked up and stupid out there. Socialism just doesn't work.

Well you know this might be a good thing... there are sweatshops in China for just about anything, it would only have been a matter of time until they came up with one for Newgrounds. Just Imagine: two hundred people sitting in a factory, all voting 5 or 0 on every flash that comes out instantly...

And because of this people seem to think you are working with the Chinese mafia on a plan to blow up the world. That sucks though that they blocked newgrounds.

Tom, it's a communist country. They don't always apply the best possible judgment in deciding what they block. (Just like the comic code)

Ah, that sucks.
I feel for those guys, currently being in a country that blocked Newgrounds for a while once. Fortunately, the government here has made a rather smart move and cut down on the censorship of such sites as NG and YouTube (which was also recently blocked).

I CAN HELP YOU UNBLOCK NEWGROUNDS IN CHINA!

BOTH VIEWS
First of all you should understand both views. Your view seems to be that everything should be uncensored. Their view is that unsuitable content must be blocked. I must say that I agree with what China does partially, I see why they do what they do, although I must admit blocking the whole site is a bit too much. (but much easier than employing many people to go over all submissions each day and blocking unsuitable ones).

REASON WHY BLOCKED
The most likely reason why it is blocked is that this site grants evereyone the possibility accessing every single submission, even pornographic. I would also like to express my concern about collections of excessive violence, which include submissions on how to commit suicide, and how much fun it is to kill people. I dont think anyone should be exposed to such flash. There is still a lot of offensive flash, not only sexual and violent, but also political. Especially a positive portrayal of Hitler in some flash and excessive criticism on China...

POSSIBILITY TO UNBLOCK
They are not going to lower their censorship pollicies because of Beijing Olympics, and they will also not let Tibet gain indepence. No normal country gives away territory unless defeated. Therefore the only way out

WIKIPEDIA
Wikipedia was blocked by China as well, but now it isn't anymore. Well the Chinese version is blocked, but other languages are enabled. This has probably have to do with the fact that educated people are less likely to fall for brainwashing and propaganda and the western media is full of bias and innaccuracy towards "certain" countries. Wikipedia has been unblocked, Newgrounds can be unblocked as well!

MILLIONS OF POTENTIAL NEWGROUNDERS
Almost 1.3 billion people live in China and although there is a small proportion of internet users. this still amounts to 100.000.000 internet users. It would be good idea to expand the exposure into China once again.

POST SCRIPTUM
If you are interested in unblocking newgrounds in China you better contact me via e-mail or MSN. But it will be important that you will cooperate with Chinese authorities. Most likely pornographic and violent content will remain blocked and some words will be filtered to block access.

My MSN is: bai.long@hotmail.com

No more Far East Flash? (Except Japan and Corea)
