Edgy Chinese blog host Bullog.cn shut down by Net NannyPosted by Alice Xin Liu, January 9, 2009 4:50 PM
 Access to Bullog.cn this afternoon 'Failed to Connect' Bullog.cn (牛博网), popular Chinese blog host started by Luo Yonghao, appears to have been shut down this afternoon. Bullog is described by many as edgy and carries the blogs of outspoken bloggers such as Wen Yunchao ('Bei Feng'), Ran Yunfei (which was blocked at the end of last year) and widely-read columnist Lian Yue. Lao Luo's MSN status reads this afternoon: 'Bullog has been shut down. Lao Luo and Huang Bin are both feeling calm." This seems to be the latest move in the recent Internet 'cleanse' carried out by the Net Nanny. Fatianxia.com, the Chinese law blog provider was shut down temporarily late last year, then resumed, but was eventually eternally 'harmonized.' Links and Sources

oh fuck!
"government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth", but seems the China Government ain't such a government.
i'll be back
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
"Edgy"?
Lian Yue says Bullog will be back. No details.
Very harmonius! Very CCP! One step closer to its own shutdown by the PEOPLE!!!
I'm so sick of the dictator jerks that run China like it was their own private club. No wonder so many people leave China to take citizenship elsewhere!
Good for the big party!
What a pity. This is almost certainly related to Charter 08.
Check out my latest findings on the Nanny's political repression methods on this post:

i think it's good to block bullog
the thing is that never go against cpc
is anyone really surprised?
Good citizen! good culture and bad leadership leads to the wrong direction as blocking blog. its very bad. Every thing should be transperancy.
Most of the bloggers don't even reside in China, why do you care? There's plenty of other blog sites hosted in America. Or is there some kind of agenda, intended to specifically reach the users in China? Moan moan moan, if you don't like it don't go to China, duhhh. You don't see any anti-Russia or anti-Putin blogs hosted on Russian servers, morons.
LOOOOOOL, even posting comments on this site is moderated. And it talks about censorship. Irony??????
