Blogetery.com shutdown by Burstnet

The popular blogging platform blogetery has been shut down by the United States Authorities which is affecting over 70000 blogs. After shutting down their server the service provider Burstnet has provided the reason of History of Abuse & links to terrorist sites.

At present Burstnet has released this statement:

On the evening of July 9, 2010, BurstNET® received a notice of a critical nature from law enforcement officials, and was asked to provide information regarding ownership of the server hosting Blogetry.com. It was revealed that a link to terrorist material, including bomb-making instructions and an al-Qaeda “hit list”, had been posted to the site. Upon review, BurstNET® determined that the posted material, in addition to potentially inciting dangerous activities, specifically violated the BurstNET® Acceptable Use Policy. This policy strictly prohibits the posting of “terrorist propaganda, racist material, or bomb/weapon instructions”. Due to this violation and the fact that the site had a history of previous abuse, BurstNET® elected to immediately disable the system.

While the owner of blogetery.com has posted this on their website:

After being BurstNet customer for 7 months our server was terminated without any notification or explanation.

We’re trying to resolve the situation.
