Very well so we should. 🙂

Meh, smaller websites and forums going offline won't do much in my opinion.

The government is going too search for every website who does something too protest this and use that too make their decision. I'm sure that's how they operate :yes:

Completely agree :great:
It's fine to voice your opinion, but nobody really cares if we're offline or not 😉

If anything, the government is like, "F yea! Less work for us when we actually decide too shut everyone up!"

Advertising and promoting the issue to traffic is good, closing down is probably less effective.

Precisely, this is us playing right into their hands 😉

Small sites won't make any difference at all. Larger sites like wiki and google blacking out will lead to millions more people being aware. Most people I know in real life were unaware of SOPA until wiki did this.

Smaller sites blacking out will raise no/little awareness and will just cause you to lose a day's worth of activity. Therefore Mario Forums will not be blacking out to protest this.

Bingo, ergo, I have the feeling this was made in attempts too advertise a bit. :lol:

Hardly. The OP's forum is down (not the best time to advertise an offline forum - of course you can get round the redirect but it still stands). All that's shown in the URL is an anti-SOPA page.

He's getting his link out there, people will be clicking it too find out what's going on, will arouse interest in them, they'll check back when it's back online too comment on it. This is an attempt at advertising in my opinion, and really don't care about opposing arguments on that.

Anyways, Hissae, I feel like you made the right choice not doing anything.

Not to hurt anyones feelings but if you are a small forum (the scope of anything promoted here), if you go offline to fight this, all it will do is hurt you. You will turn away potential visitors (which you NEED every little bit you get) and it won't really shudder any member of congress. Wikipedia going down had an impact because its more likely they have or do use it. Besides, all these sites that are going down have back up plans (you can access wikipedia from a smart phone, or javascript disabled browser).

So doing that for your site is overdoing it and not helping. Just hurting yourself.

Wham bam, the voice of reason.

Well said, mate 😉

I had the "Stop Censorship" banner on my forum for a few days. Originally I was going to apply the "Blackout" skin for it that one of my members made but I didn't feel like doing that.

If SOPA or PIPA goes though then the Internet's screwed. That's all I can say about it.

 

[rebornx]

Yes, fight against sopa and pipa. I supported registrars like namecheap, name for against sopa stands. Also moved domains from godaddy as they supported sopa

They support this pathetic law-to-be that will screw up the Internet badly? Shame on them <_<
