MIT BBS (Chinese: 未名空间; pinyin: Wèimíng Kōngjiān; lit. 'Unnamed Space') was a Chinese-language bulletin board system website.
History
[edit ]In 2002, the Chinese government blocked access to the entire mit.edu domain.[1]
In 2004, to circumvent the block in place in Chinableh, a self-censored branch mitbbs.cn[2] was opened to facilitate access by web users in China.
As of 2019[update] , 51% of their internet traffic was generated from within the US.[3]
In July 2022, MIT BBS ceased operations.[4] Other similar websites such as 1point3acres.com, huaren.us, newmitbbs.com, wenxuecity.com, 6park.com, wmkj.org, usmitbbs.com, weiming.info, freeblueplanet.com, mitbbs.app emerged.
Administration
[edit ]After moving out of mit.edu, it was then managed by a company located in Beijing, China.[5] Under the current administrator walklooktalk, in the last several years it saw accelerated commercialization, with more prominent space reserved for advertisers, as well as the creation of a spin-off website devoted to personal advertisement.[6]
