They should do a black out of the website, along with other major websites until Congress backs down.

But then how will I get my daily EXP? Sometimes I feel like you guys are so selfish.

I hope SOPA passes.

What do you mean? Like make the site all black or what?

He clearly means make all the NG characters outdated racial stereotypes, like Golliwogs.

I love you.

Newgrounds going black wouldn't do much, it's a big website but it wouldn't have that much influence to people who don't really know what SOPA is. Preaching to the choir is all that will achieve.

Anyways...let it be known that wikipedia is considering to this and some other sites as well. I would only support it if doing so wouldn't be any inconvenience to the staff.

This is a good idea, boycott congress til those bitches listen

In fact I don't really think Congress will actually care about Newgrounds

Wait, Wikipedia wants people to pledge that they'll give money if they do this black out bullshit?

The only website I know that is doing a black out for sure is reddit right now. I hope that other websites will follow in it's example (Including NG).

Piracy sucks, I buy all my music on itunes. How about you people get off your lazy asses and GET A JOB and stop stealing JOBS from the movie, music and entertainment industry? You could pay for your shit instead of committing crimes.

Because you know, SOPA will totally stop Piracy. That is not even the problem. The problem is the way it deals with piracy.

Don't worry, I was just trolling.

How in the hell does that prove anything but we will bend over and take it as hard and fast as sopa wants in the hopes it wont happen

I think the point of blocking out a site is to make someone give a shit, whereas I could move on with my life if NG was gone for a day.

Apparently Wikipedia is giving a greenlight to the blackout:

It will take the shutdown of Facebook to really get the message out though, especially since many of the bastards that support the bill use it.

if newgrounds is truly against sopa then wade fulp will print out a copy of it and take a shit on it

then he will upload the vid to yt and scream at the top of his lungs while some upbeat dubstep plays in the background and you have to play it at 720p quality to hear the SICK drops when the shit plops out of wade's ass

We'll most likely be going black, at least the front page. There are people who might need access to their user pages or content so I don't want to take that away from them as part of our statement but blacking out the front page will hopefully make the point.

this idea may actually work, get the people angry because facebook and youtube is shutdown and to actually start protesting and doing something useful rather than sitting in their house all day scratching their asses.

Is it bad that as I was reading this I was actually scratching my ass?

Scroll down, you don't have to. But I see where your coming form because I thought that too for a second. Its just there to help with the lost revenue should they go dark. Wikipedia ain't some big cash company y'know.

Good man, I'm glad your doing this Tom. As most people and other sites are. Hopefully nobody will have a problem getting around the front page and come back raging...do I predict a front page post coming?

Thanks for the feedback, the idea is good, more or less, if we are the first to go black, other sites will for sure follow.

You need someone to start the race as usual.
