I am not on strike. I have just given up on the new IC. I was very annoyed by the unnecessary removal of the previous material during the re-format of the site. The new format has proved unpopular and site traffic seem to have more than halved, but Said still fails to make some very simple changes that could change things. I have argued many times that the fast rotation of materials favours posting links but fails to attract original materials which are far more time consuming to create. The large images in the main page reduce the viewing to a few blogs, or just one if there is a very tall picture. This is in contrast to the site that hit you with a large amount of content in the first glance.
I am not the only one who has given up on the new IC. There was either an intention in killing the site or Mr Amin has now got bored of his new toy.
Divaneh jaan, you and your sound judgement is sorely missed, there are many thoughtful and truly concerned citizens that are still writing here but for the most part the site has become a cut and paste depository. I hope to see you from time to time, be well good Divaneh.
You are very kind Mehrban Jaan. I agree with you about the qualities of some of the contributors and pop in whenever I can to read their contributions.
So, while I was on my way to attend the funeral of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez freedom on iranian.com has finally succumbed to death after years of being comatose!
My condolences to all those Iranians who are fighting against the suppressive regime of the Islamists in Tehran and their supporters all over the world!

The Seyyed needs catalyst non-conformists or else clicks will vanish when every one agrees..its just the nature of commerce. he will wise up soon..cheers!!!
Hi Sam, thank you for the comment. Always great to see you!
- By the way, when you erased your own blogs in the old IC, my very first poems (ever) were also erased. Well no big deal but your blogs of "chakameh saraii" were what got me started on poetry. Thank you!

I,m so sorry Missy. consider it collateral damage. One thing about me is that I always erase the past blogs since its irrelevent to future & also it could be used as hostage content by the would be editor after my blockage. Why give em the benefit of my time spent to profit.. Cheers dear Gal!!!
Saboohi is another blogger that had a black (censorship) post and his title contained Trita Parsi's and Namazi's name and it was buried away from the first page too (same as your blog).
