The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
So I'm gonna be in China for a year and the laundry list of old proxies I used to use don't work any more, or barely do. The old free VPN that I used to use has apparently been blocked/doesn't work as well (Hot Spot Shield).
Anyone have any suggestions for a way for me to check my Facebook and Twitter?
You could try One-Click Web Proxy for Chrome. If that doesn't work, I can ask some friends in China which programs they use. I believe there's some kind of TOR-like software made in Hong Kong called 翻牆, but I've never looked into it.
