SOPA Blackout
 
In protest of SOPA, a few sites are doing blackouts, Wikipedia and Equestria Daily are just a few, I think its a great way to protest SOPA and PIPA

Yeah, I noticed that a few hours back. It's a good way to show how barren the internet might become with the implementation of those motions.

I noticed. Even games doing it too.

It would be nice if facebook and google shut down for a day in protest too. (even though I can barely function without google)

Oh, and I noticed if you disable javascript you can still use wikipedia. (another site I use constantly)

Fark.com has decided to support the efforts and went white today.

Yeah, they were using a pretty simple javascript there to redirect to their blackout page. window.onLoad() I think, so if you cancel the loading of the page before everything is done, you can still read the articles.

Or you can disable javascript. :o

Yeah I kinda wished sites like facebook and twitter did it. Then it'd really hit everyone at home :P
