Asrai.org Offline 18th Jan

Post by Naggie »

In a worldwide campaign against SOPA/PIPA many large sites are going offline as a protest against the US Congress idea of shutting down the internet. Asrai.org may not be as large as Wikipedia, but as the owner and one of the admins here, I feel I can pull my straw to the stack by shutting down Asrai.org for the main parts of Wednesday.

Hence, the site will be offline from sometime around midnight my time (i.e. in 12 hours) and some 36 hours forward from that moment. The frontpage will look different, and the site will not be operational at all during the protest.

I'm glad A.org is going along with this, it's such an unsubtle "solution" which'll get in the way of anybody honest and only slightly inconvenience anybody not.

Seems to be a complete list of big sites in this protest.
