clgaming.net of League of Legends fame participated yesterday, though I could be wrong.

Also, Congressman Jared Polis apparently plays League of Legends. Who knew?

LiveJournal and Equestria Daily have changed their banners (and EqD will not have any updates today), Tumblr is giving you the option to blackout your blogs for the day, and DA has a discussion going on.

Do you have a link that says DA are planning to blackout?
Since all I can find are a bunch of users who're going to blackout. Somehow.

What I don't get is that the front page is a blackout but how come we can access any other part of the site? Wiki for example doesnt let you onto any english pages but NG seems to be just front page blackout. Not wanting to start something, just noticed and was curious why this is

The hardcore users will figure out they can still use the site. Our bandwidth usage is way down which shows many people aren't getting past the blackout page.

BTW, you can bypass the Wiki blackout too. You just have to fiddle with the ESC key when loading a page.

I think with google cache you can bypass any black out.

That's how I got here.

Actually only the frontpage of Newgrounds is blocked, the rest of the pages are accessible.

The mobile version is completely accessible even.

I think the partial blackout is more than ok. There are many sites that would be affected by SOPA which don't participate at all.

I guess I'm a "tard," then. I only found out that the rest of the site was accessible was when I habitually clicked a link on Google. :P

Has the government gone mad? If they're destroying the internet just to save some copyrighted crap, why not just remove it rather than shut down websites and make everyone mad?
