Is NG going to be down all day then?
Most likely in the range of 8am-8pm EST.

Hell, 8am - 8am is alright, so long as I can deposit my experience every day, I'm happy.

More or less.

Might as well go all the way. People won't really get the full force of the impact of not having a Newgrounds if they can just dance around it. At least take the BBS off as well.

I wanna join in on this protest, but since I suck at Technical and Mathmatical things, I have no Idea how to black out my Youtube and Newgrounds page for the day. Can someone tell me how I can black out my Newgrounds Page?

With big sites down maybe I can get all their traffic. :)

Nice to hear NG is on board on the "Blackout" Bandwagon. I'm also gonna help the cause by turning off my twitter account, sorry to ALL my 53 followers but I gotta do what's right.

Fuck. I had no idea about any blackout, but that's awesome there's going to be one in protest of the SOPA mongoloids. Who else is participating?

Response to Blackout 2012-01-17 17:58:38


SOPA Sucks....the government needs to lose a lot of its control

Response to Blackout 2012-01-17 17:59:22


Hell yeah! anyway, the portal would be spammed with 'Plz sopa don pass :'(' videos.

Well if it does pass , we should all value our time on the webs :(

As far as blacking out, Wikipedia and Reddit are the only ones I know so far. Google is doing something for it but it's not blackout.

I think this bill is total bullshit. It's never going to pass, stuff like this never passes because of us. We want to and will defend our sites.

It's only PIPA that we should be worried about.

Response to Blackout 2012-01-17 18:32:31


Again, I'm glad your going through with this Tom. Surely some questions will be raised with the blackout of this site and others and then the lot of people will know what what SOPA and PAIA are about.

But Tom, if Newgrounds is down where will I get my fix of male reproductive organ related jokes and poorly photoshoped photos of children with too many Apple computers?! Where!

Response to Blackout 2012-01-17 18:52:44


It will show the impact to the people that use the site regularly, but in the eyes of the government Newgrounds being offline wont do much, if anything. Sites like google, facebook, youtube and twitter will make the government shit in their pants. Basically any site that is used for communication will really hold an impact on the government itself. Its really showing the users what would happen if the front page was gone for 12 hours

I am very glad Newgrounds is participating in the blackout movement. If the SOPA makes it through, peoPle are going to be pissed. We have the right!!!

And even if it DOES make it through, there are ways to bypass server restrictions... Like Ultrasurf. Although, i have no idea what methods they would choose.

Screw SOPA... :/
