It is known that currently, the forums at APTX.cn (not including their site) and haibaraai.cn are closed. According to APTX, their data center notified them that due to the upcoming 17th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party they would have to close down temporily, and would not re-open before it finished at the end of October. But the exact reason became elusive.
Update on 15 September: These forums has been reopened with no data loss.

Are all Chinese Forums down? I can't see a political reason to close Conan Forums, but not Forums about .. flowers, for example.
That sounds really odd o.O

Maybe those certain pages had something which they didn't thought it was '"appropriate" or something like that, or they are afraid that on the days before, during and after the Congress, they'll might find these pages not appropriate and close them dowen forever.
This might be a bit farfetched idea...

that's probably the truth though
thier shutting themselves down at the time when chinese officials will be scanning Chinese sites.
(with censorship like this, you can't be too careful)
