The SA forums isn't real - it's a mass delusion (plus one that's a decade plus out of whack).

The bullshit thing about this is if you get hit with the captcha but you're using the awful app, the app I think doesn't support it so it just won't load.

And it's 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if half the forums hits are coming from people using the app just pay the app guy already make it official and pay him enough to add stuff that supports everything like that.

No, they literally don't. Not in any of the years I've been here. Like was said, cloudflare will throw up a captcha for Chinese IPs, also sometimes it will be really slow because the forums try to connect to Google domains for some things and you gotta either block those domains or wait for them to timeout but SA never was blocked by the GFW.

Totally inconsistent with my personal experience, but there's nothing to be gained by arguing if you can say the same.

Not in Guangzhou.

That captcha thing is annoying because I couldn't see my thread ban message and continue posted in one of those GBS threads anyway and lost my prev account.

I also lost my tino reddit account last week because reddit's loving paid admin team doesn't understand any Chinese and thought I post hate speech, lol.

ive read the forums in china every day for 12 years, in 30+ cities over 10+ provinces. ive literally never seen it blocked.

sometimes it doesnt load because of linked google scripts or some crap, if you ublock those it loads fine. thats probably what happened to you

e: or you were using the awful app which shows a black screen if you get the captcha

There are also VPN services that let you check to see what else is blocked. Generally the more niche a forum or website is, the less likely it is to be blocked.

Citizens in the United Kingdom and the former British colony of Hong Kong, known for its yellow umbrella symbol of democratic resistance, paid their respects to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II after her death last week. Shortly after her passing, a rainbow was seen over Buckingham Palace in London.

England made Hong Kong prosperous by giving them FIRE industries, and being rich is very democratic. Why England nobly placed many banks in Hong Kong remains a mystery, but it was probably because Liz loved them like all subjects. Why are people mad about colonialism?
