One of our members, from Laguna (south of Manila), wrote me today.
Is anyone else having "connectivity" or "censorship" issues of our forum in the Philippines? Any boffins out there who have any ideas?
I am wondering if this might have something to do with a posting made during 2008 for the express purpose of having this site blocked from general use in China. (The site was attracting unwanted postings from that country.)

It's confirmed that our member is not on the site's banned list. So the key to the mystery is external. He writes:
My theory is that given the large number of POGO's from Mainland China now living in the Philippines, there may have been some pressure to expand the censorship of sites banned in Mainland China to the Philippines, or to certain areas of the Philippines. Perhaps the signal was routed through a jurisdiction in which our forum is banned. Our site is indeed "banned in China."
WTF knows!

The issue of whether we have been blocked may have passed, but today I am able to confirm that we have been hacked, and hijacked. I was revising the Contents page of the 503d PRCT Heritage Battalion site and discovered that links from it to this board had been hijacked to point, not to this board, but to a bullshit page advertising a hokum Bitcoin trading program. I want it clear that I have no connection, nor have ever had any connection whatsoever with despicable sites of the "libracoined.co" or their ilk. To think of it, I'm bloody disappointed that no one has ever pointed out the hijacking of this link. EXO
