1,313,973,713. That is the latest population figure I got when I searched Google for "China Population". It came from the CIA. How useful of them.

It is therefore also the number of people blocked from seeing Network54.com. Apparently, this tiny company is a threat the government of China. Or someone is building a competitor to us and they have a friend in the government that can block us out. How is that for free trade? Where is the WTO on this?

Nowhere. And won't be. Just look at this article from News.com about filtering search results. Not only does the Chinese government block us via the "Great Chinese Firewall" but they pressure search engines to do so also. Oddly, the old school monopoly seems to be the most fair to us: Microsoft. Who knew?

V3 provides a way around it, but it is real annoying. And we were becoming immensely popular in China. It was quickly becoming half our traffic. Now its none...

Kiss Net 54's backside and they will 'accomodate'you.....say something in a way that bruises their delicate little egos and ....sorry 'bout your luck' dude.

Net 54, of ALL the internet discussion forums is THE worst for doing nothing in the face of defamations, libel and obsceneties.

Anyone who posts on Net 54 understands how much of a free for all it is and their suave fare attitude is irresponsible at best....pathetic at worst.

It shouldn't matter how 'nice' they deem a request....if someone thinks they are being hurt etc...of COURSE they are emotional and upset....so the actions should be taken ONLY on a neutral fair and fact based agenda....

not....if you say 'pretty please' we MIGHT look at your complaint.

Man...I wish they would ask me to be a wittness in this case.....after 10 plus years on these sites...i have screen shots and stories that would curl hair of things that have gone on to people and Net 54 did NOTHING...and Net 54 just has this ce la vie attitude and collects its money....typical...but

I hope they reap what they have sown this time.


AND the little appeal at the top of each Net 54 site about this only shows their arrogance and irresponsible nature.
