Anyone else in Seoul having problems with Dave's being blocked by Korean internet providers? Dongdaemun Cable seems to be blocking only the Korean Forum part of Dave's? I found a work-around for now, but it sure is odd. I wonder if this had anything to do with the Steve Schertzer article?

No problems in 은평구.

I have gotten a lot of "phpbb critical connection errors" lately, but if I hit refresh once or twice the page loads. I assume that is a problem on Dave's end.

Yes, i've had regular problems accessing this site for the last two or three weeks. I get a message saying the site is 'forbidden on this server'.

But then after a while, it's fine again. Very strange.

I usually can't get in during the early morning and evenings.

Midday - is easy to get in and Sunday mornings is easy to get in.

I thought it was dependant on the number of users already in - because at those hours when many users are online (early morning, etc) its hard..

never thought that my KT Megapass would be blocking it ????

I also found a back door (to get in)...

I use the search engine - http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=006359271486458796786%3A_ooozypbm6u

then type "Mongchontoseong" after which 3 links will show in the search results and click on either of the three links...

Gets me in (via the back door) every time quickly...

I can get it from work, luckily.

Bad press may start haunting Dave's if we have people like Steve publishing anger-inciting crap.

Is he out to destroy the site?
