OK, I have been unable to access tasvideos.org (or bisqwit.iki.fi for that matter) for weeks, and suddenly I could visit the site today. I assumed the site had been down, but the forum activity proves otherwise. Anyone have a theory why? Keep in mind I am accessing the site from Japan, but not from a work computer (i.e. through a filter of any kind).

I haven't been aware of any problems like that, and there haven't been any policy / firewall changes lately. I rebooted the server 7 days ago, which means that if some firewall blocks were set before that, they reset then. If you have been unable during the last 7 days as well, then only remaining theories are issues out of my control, such as censoring by external parties.

I couldn't access the site for roughly a week up til today. I'm in Japan as well. Censoring seems unlikely to me, I didn't change the provider or anything, and government random one week censoring seems equally... well, random, right?
