Flashy Thing!

This little code is a great way to get everyone's attention about SOPA/PIPA. It's a little sad that only the really active members are the ones posting about it in here.

If you type in Dragonball Z in google we're one of the first results up lol

If you type in Dragonball Z Forum, we're like the 1st or 2nd link, so that's gotta count for something.
People have been finding us like that for years now

Well for the blackouts, most sites are 24 hours. So everything should be back tomorrow if not the next day. For here? I'm not sure. Whenever Rogue gets bored with it and takes the code off.

Rogue is whimsy like that
I really like the changes
well, I mean, in how they show support for the opposition of the bills xD

But seriously, Vegeta_Rules, that's pretty ignorant :/ Dismissing it so offhandedly and then saying you'd rather go play a video game instead. Legislation like this affects everyone and you'd be upset if it passed cause forums like this, and the CC forum, would be taken down or blocked. Small changes like this help because it raises awareness and gets people to notice what's going on and take an active part in preventing it. The lawmakers are not going to look at this forum and go 'oh, we should stop cause they blocked the avatars' but members of the forum will go 'what's the censor thing? let me read about what's going on on the forum today. oh, they want to pass legislation blocking the internet? Let me call my representative and tell them I don't want this and then I'll go sign a petition to help prevent it.'

LOL my last link was updated like 10 hrs. ago. Here's some new info on how PIPA is failing now in reaction to blackouts. 13 senators flip views in ONE day due to public outcry and blackouts.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/pipa-support-collapses-with-13-new-opponents-in-senate.ars

Quote:
 
*At least 5 of these new supporting Senators previously supported SOPA
*11 (now 12) of these people are Republicans
*Reasons include the ambiguity of the bill, the impact that it would have on the Internet, and the intrusiveness of government
*David Vitter (R), a previous co-sponsor of the legislation, is now opposed
*It now seems to be split 33% 33% 33%: some support, some oppose, and some have not announced which yet (likely out of fear of losing Hollywood campaign contribution money)
-BuddyLee/linkgiven


Glad I just noticed this on another forum. Kinda sad for the people who didn't think this would do any good. Google/Wikipedia/Forums have senators running back to change views pretty quick after one day of public outcry and blackouts.

I like how the people who call it "irresponsible" and a "stunt" are the MPAA who would love to have these powers.

I think this is a great way to take a stand on SOPA/PIPA I wish I could take a better stance on this issue but the UK doesn't have much media awareness about it.

Media awareness or actual control? Rogue's been posting BBC News links the whole time, and it's not like people in the UK won't see it on the internet, especially if Wikipedia blacked out yesterday.

There's also an ACTA legislation that could effect the UK that's similar to these that we might end up having to worry about as well :\

Notice how when the people do something to prevent this BS it has an effect.
