One of the most famous Kazakhstan internet portals is Center Tyagesty (bb.ct.kz). It is like a huge internet community where people can participate in different discussions and contribute to every topic they want to. This website represents a net of different chats and forums around one single Kazakhstani company Alser computers. There are blogs, links to personal websites, forums and chat rooms within this portal. One of the most fascinating features of this website are the rules. On of the reason to visit this website is that people are not censored and the owners of the site do not involve in every single topic on this portal. They can only sometimes check one of them and if any of the participants do not follow the established rules the owner will ban them. So in order to participate anyone can register, agree with the rules and start their conversations. There is one foxy thing that any participant can write to a special book about any rule breakers. That is how the owners can fight with that sort of people. I personally did not see any of them. Most people write very interesting things about themselves, about different staff. Because of lack of control over this website people can do and say anything they want. And it might not be possible for them to be banned. I personally heard that participants can share their video, music files etc. It is a good place to start searching anything you want to download from the internet or at least can take variety of links where to get what you want. However it is incorrect to say that this web portal is fully accepts participation. It is not like wikipedia. It is more like a huge forum where a participant can only send a comment not to edit the main message of theme. Consequently I would personally say that there is a web site, a community in Kazakhstan where people can talk, but can not edit any words of each other. On the other side I like the sense of freedom there. Moderators do not edit or check your personal writings. Just try to follow the rules and be active! XD
