I'd been looking around for this, thanks. The Log was canceled/stopped about a year before I showed up there in 2002, but 3/C year I managed to recon 3 back issues from the 1997/1998 time. Part of me wants to say I'm shocked "they" would do away with this, but after seeing/being on the receiving end of countless other "ideas," I'm not shocked at all.
And my favorite had to be: "CNO Unimpressed by Dant's Pushups"
That was classic! Things like that are very like the Supe's comments in the beginning of the year (when the article was published).
This is a great site I never saw -- I think it's pretty underground, because no one I know has seen it -- and not only that, we just had a Feeddown Question about The Log and it said for now to settle on The Navy Fork.
When did The Navy Fork start? I graduated 2 years ago and have never even heard of it. Salty Sam wipes his ass with it anyway.
I'm not even an alum, and I thought it was a pretty funny blog.

I've got a rough idea who's posting it - and he's safe from the "long arms of the law"...
If I weren't active duty right now I would say that anyone on senior leadership that would go after whatever mid does that blog should be kicked in the nuts. Of course since I am active duty I would never say that because that could be construed as insubordinate so I will just say that some people need a sense of humor.
As long as he's safe from the long arms of ward hall, i'll look forward to reading it every once in a while.

He is, you might not be... They can always block the address...
I have been happily divorced from mother B for almost 2 years. But blocking AW to current mids wouldn't surprise me in the least. Its only a matter of time until Ward Hall is as bad as NMCI.

Well, in 2004/2005 they banned Facebook. (A social network for high school and college students - for those who dont know) After a period of a couple of month of backlash they decided it wasnt as bad as they thought. They never had a problem with anything like Myspace, or Collegehumor, or YouTube, where mids post some crazy clips of things like mattress jousting!!!
Some of the policy decisions, just dont make much sense.

During reform of my 1/C year (August 2005) the administration thought it was necessary to hold a mass facebook adjudication (800+ midshipmen) for all of those whose facebooks' profiles consisted of anything "unprofessional," to include personal quotes, pictures, groups, etc. It basically evolved into a "shame on you" lecture in Mahan Hall, with about half of the accused falling asleep anyway, and with everyone leaving just laughing their ass off at the absurdity of such a waste of time. At this time I stopped taking any of their threats seriously. I can't speak for anything recent, but I have talked to guys from '08 and they say alot more sites are restricted than they were just a couple years ago. Can any mids elaborate?
Well, you missed the joys of the Websense filter. They block all porn sites, plus anything else that might fall under the category of "tasteless." It's not too hard to get around, especially during high traffic times, but it is pretty annoying. Every so often they'll block legit sites. Example: Steeljaw Scribe's blog was filtered as tasteless, I had to submit a request to get it opened up again. They've eased off on Facebook though, I haven't heard of anyone getting fried for it since the infamous fry day you mentioned.
