DZComposer Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I am considering participating in tomorrow's anti-SOPA strike, though I want some community input first. Basically, SF-O would be taken down and replaced with an anti-SOPA statement for about 12 hours tomorrow. Some big names are doing it: Wikipedia, Google, Mozilla, Reddit (who really spearheaded this), and Minecraft just to name a few.

Icy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Do it! We can do without SFO for a while if it means participating in this. Problem is, I don't think anyone will care if "Starfox-Online" (Who cares about a Star Fox fan site? ) participates in the SOPA Strike, but it definitely can't hurt.

Xortberg Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Nothing ever happens here anyway, so it's not like it would be very different than normal :3 I'm for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesseboyd7 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Both Ron Paul and Rand Paul oppose the NDAA & SOPA act, enjoy this short clip: I am also against SOPA. DO IT DZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 I know this isn't the pub, but I guess a little bit of politics in this thread is fine, seeing as SOPA is a political issue. I find it funny that 99%-ers like Ron Paul. The poor souls don't realize that libertarianism really only works for the 1%. He talks a good game on foreign policy and civil liberties, but everything else about Ron Paul is just... Eew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'd definitely follow through with it, DZ; it's a good way to forcibly teach the general public about the horrible reprocussions that bills like SOPA can provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harlow Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Whatever you like. (if they send me homework for Thursday. I'm f'ed) P.S: I think Paul's the best option if you want to place a rep on the house. Romney pains me more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr. N Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Even though we usually don't get many visiters here and not much appears to go on here, I'm OK with SF-O bein down for 12 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarita Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 https://github.com/zachstronaut/stop-sopa I found a nice little premade blackout page if you haven't written your own yet, DZ. It's quite fancy, if I do say so myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"User" Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 So, I was still able to access wikipedia, SFO, and other sites during the blackout by either using a mobile device or, in wikipedias case, disable javascripting or by using the cached version. Just an FYI. If wikipedia wanted to make a bigger statement they could have did a better job IMO. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 The reason most sites, SF-O included, used a simple JS redirect is because 1: It's simple to do and can be done quickly and 2: The time and effor required to take down and then later restore everything would not be worth it. Especially for a site like Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fox Runner Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I signed the petition while it was up today, anything to help keep those bills from passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I signed the petition while it was up today, anything to help keep those bills from passing. Same here; any sane person would appose SOPA and PIPA in their currently manifested forms. While piracy is a problem this is possibly the stupidest way to attempt and combat it.

Harmony Descent Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Dude, I've already sent like FIVE of these to my state representative, or congressman. I couldn't get it off my mind last night, nor today in class because of how retarded and just down right f***ing STUPID this bill is! I mean, you're taking away one of the most vital things the world is growing on and making it less and less enjoyable. Come on, government -- use your goddamn head for a change!
