In fact, they dismissed themselves, refusing to do the job. In a statement, they said that they cannot guarantee that the privacy of users will still be protected and requiring a real identity to register is contrary to BBS's spirit. So they decided to quit, not helping the Nanjing University to adapt the system for that purpose (they are mostly volunteer students).
If any of you guys can read Chinese, the Chinese version of the story says that 26 of the games banned were pirated games and the other 24 were being sold before getting any permission from related authorities.
And BTW, some people here need to update their information about China. I can still remember when I casually mentioned that I had watched a movie named A Clockwise Orange or something in an interview with a HK reporter a few years ago, the shocked look on her face (she was pretty... but that's another story). Wake up from the Cold War! Basically people here in China (at least college students) can get mostly everything from the Internet, from anal porn to H-games (oops, these things sound belonging to the same category?) to Friends (SitCom) or 24 Hours. I'm not trying to say that everything is perfect here, and there are still a lot of restrictions officially, but... things are changing, and it's not all that bad.
