Blocking of Orbiter-Forum
On April 3, 2008, Orbiter-Forum was blocked in some parts of the Philippines. When the ban will be lifted is unknown. The government of the Philippines does not black-list any websites, but the Internet provider of the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), cbcpnet.com, established it's own black-listing of any sites related to pornography, gambling and other things, which they consider unethical. It is very likely that the blockade of orbiter-forum.com is related to their activities and can be avoided by switching the provider or by using onion routing software.
This does not mean that orbiter-forum is unethical. It is just enough to share the same address in the Internet with an unethical website. Orbiter-forum does not run on a dedicated server.
