Proboards Going Offline Tonight for SOPA

[StevePulaski]

I have just been informed by Proboards' Facebook page that it will be participating in the twenty-four hour web blackout that will take place January 18 - 19. Other websites like Avast!, Reddit, and Wikipedia have also agreed to go dark for twenty-four hours to go against the bill as well. This sort of sucks because I have to write four reviews as of now and will not be able to get any writing done tomorrow. But a censored, shady internet is far worse than a blackout for twenty-four hours.

I'll see you guys January 19th.

Hopefully it will get the message across to the sea of aberrant humanity that is currently heading this country. And if not then we can just revolt I mean after all they had a hard enough time stopping the Occupy protests imagine how hard an armed revolution will be for them.

when's the blackout supposed to start?
as soon as it becomes 1:00 on Jan.18?

anyway I'll see you on the 19th

Sometime tonight. Most likely around midnight, I'd assume.

I'll see you guys on the 19th! I hope this Internet blackout will send a message to the federal government that almost everyone is against both bills and that our civil liberties and right to an open Internet is far more important than any of their bullshit agendas.

I guess the forum still works. Just now I got a banner on the top of my screen.

Yeah, it's too bad that Steve found my label annoying
for those of you who didn't see what it was it was Steve's avatar with the caption "Don't be a copycat"
Steve said he found it difficult to tell between the posts
Steve, if you don't like my new label just send me a message to take it down
