SOPA BLACKOUT COUNT DOWN
^What he said.
I think I can make it 12hours without XS... I think.
good idea....
Feel sorry for us international users who won't see our favourite sites :( :p:
Not sure If I understand what you mean but I'm afraid SOPA isn't going to affect USA only, I'm afraid...Quote:

Same but given the glacial pace at which things work around here we might make it next year.. unless the ISP goes out for a day :D
A blackout from ISP's would be the be all and end all for SOPA, if only.... *dreams*
And then just what the hell am I supposed to do all day while I'm at work? Oh, wait.....:DQuote:

One man show? Don't the moderators and admins make it more than a one man show? Or are you counting them out o.O ??
Maybe a bad choice of words on my part but true in the sense that there are things the admins and mods can do and then things that only the owner(FUGGER) can do.Quote:

That is outside my jurisdiction and more important that this is Fuggers site and even if I had the authority or ability I wouldn't do something like that
out of respect for him.
Also, FUGGER fits to bill for keeping this site online :up:
Maybe the admins could have had a meet'n'greet to discuss the issue with Fugger. Would have been productive.
Speak for yourself...:DQuote:

Great video, sums it all up nicely. Call your Congressmen, US peopsles!Quote:

what was the blackout like? :( i missed it...
It wasn't really 'like' anything tbh, pretty much a message saying something about XS SOPA Blackout extended edition with no access to the site :-) Very cool :up:
When did this happen? I missed it too.Quote:

Anyone coming to this website likely knew what SOPA was, so little was gained in that regard. Honestly, I was somewhat disappointed that XS decided to be part of the blackout with no warning and while there was generally no value that would be added by the blackout. It was more of a "google did it so we followed suit" than really adding any value. I don't want to be a sheep...
Thank you for posting this linkQuote:

Picture this... SOPA/ACTA/Initials of something just as, if not more stupid comes in...
This site could then be shutdown for 'Conspiracy to commit Copyright' among other 'infringements' or something stupid like that if Youtube (of which there are many) links were ever posted on here with any music even in the background of the clips, I think that warrants some learning about it....
P.S. Remain vigilant, if anything more stupid ever makes it's way in anywhere, XS may be shutdown for Copyright infringement if any of the members of this site sing in the shower...
I'm for it, maybe it'll get people thinking a little.
SOPA can suck my shlong. When will the US learn they can't ram their laws down other countries throats?
Your country will happily follow suit.Quote:

carnival in Germany :) the reason for this caricature cart being Merkel's visit to the US 2003 and her support for Irak war but it also happens to fit the bill with ACTA, PIPA, SOPA etc.
