So it stopped working at my school. Not it's not working in the PC Bang down the street -- a warning about the site pops up.

So I'm guessing Korea is worried about Myspace gaining too much control, and outdoing Cyworld?

Are you able to play any?

Youtube works for me... Myspace will come up, but videos won't play at my school. No personal pages will come up in the PC Bang.

Google won't work here, either.

I think you may need to change PC Bangs.

I don't get it. It's not like trying to view a myspace page in a PC Bang is anything like preying on kids at a Baskin Robbins or something, right CA?

I usually have problems with myspace no matter where I am. I think it's due to myspace having bad servers more than anything.

works fine for me at school and home. I can't see any reason for it being banned in Korea.
