Elder Scrolls wiki is already blacked out

And so it begins...


It would be awesome to see Bungie.net get in on this action.

All the "down" stuff on the internet right now is to just bring awareness to SOPA and its blatant suck.
So is Googel going to actually shut down or just keep that black bar over its' name?
They'll keep it there until awareness of SOPA is sufficient and it is heartily smitten down by all of us. Then, after that day, the black bar will go away, signifying the threat of censorship on the internet is gone with it.

BTW, I checked your updated deviantART the other day, nice work :)

I think the wiki blackout is working. I'm already seeing SOPA related facebook posts! Now if only facebook would do something too...

Stand Together: The Gaming Community vs SOPA and PIPA

Ask your favorite gaming websites and youtube channel to join the cause by not attending and covering E3 this year until the ESA changes their stance on SOPA and PIPA! If they truly apposed this legislation the last thing they want to do is support an entity that spent $190,000 on PIPA lobbying.

This is pretty cool.

Fixed. Also, google is still usable.
Doesn't matter. Attention is being called to it.

I wonder if this will work, hope so.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

If Facebook blacked out for even just 2 hours, awareness for SOPA would rise ridiculously. I hope Zuckerburg and co. do something about it.

Not likely though as they would lose a lot of revenue. On the bright side, a little banner is better than nothing at all.

"Fear the wrath of the dead! Or as I like to call it the living impared."

Bungie.... Its time to unleash the Giant Catpult.... Got some congressional idiots to launch....

Got to love Bungie for standing up to jack rabbits that don't know crap, and think they can bully the rest of America just because they are in power.

All of congress should be fired if this thing goes through.

Everyone go on facebook and suggest facebook joins the blackout!

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I'm glad SOPA is done away with now.
