By Bwog Staff on Oct 30, 2012 13 Comments

Update, 1:30 am: Facebook, CNN, and Wikipedia are now back up! Try going to Facebook. Now try CNN and Wikipedia. If you’re in a Columbia-owned building, it’s likely that none of these websites will load. But the websites themselves aren’t down. If you try them from a non-Columbia IP or from your phone (once you […]

Profs Admit Defeat!

By Bwog Staff on Oct 29, 2012 19 Comments
