Flickr photos banned

Flickr's mainland users may notice that a part of photos quoted from flickr are unavailable today, but it's still OK to visit the homepage and to login your account.

Williamlong guess(in Chinese) all the problems are caused by the Great Fire Wall(GFW) which banned the domain names of farm1.static.flickr.com and farm2.static.flickr.com, thereby, pictures that located under the two domain names are banned.

Any reasons of baning this excellent photos share websites? So many! Especially in this June, like Xiamen people's march against PX project happened on 1st June and someone did a live report of the whole process on flickr.
