    Cool :)

    As a side note, your avatar upload limit seems to be malfunctioning. It refused a 6.2 KB image, while accepting a 164.6 KB image.

    Could you possibly make the logo link to this discussion, or some site relating to the SOPA/PIPA issue. People are more likely to find out that way.

    I'm not a very political person, but when I get involved, I'm glad to see that the people's voice still maters.

    It's great to see people come together to oppose a greater evil, hopefully enough people actually listen to us and understand how wrong and evil SOPA / PIPA is, even better if the people supporting the bills finally get a clue.

    Also it's pretty easy to get around any of the "blocked" websites, they weren't intended it cease functionality, but simply to inform people. Though I am glad Google and some other websites decided to go with the black banner approach or "click here to continue" instead.

    What about all the roads they build?
    Should they not do that? Public services? International relations? Etc?
    Not to be a prick, and this isnt really a discussion thread, just sharing my 2 cents, but yeah a lot of people say that and if you think about it we would all be screwed without the government. Anywho.

    It stands for Protect IP Act -> P.I.P.A

    It's a shame minecraft.net went for a full shut-down of their website without any way of getting around it, I wanted to change my skin today :(
    I guess that's a true reminder of what might happen...

    EDIT: The logo now links to this thread, thanks EvilSeph :D

    Done. I was planning to link it to americancensorship.org but it isn't exactly reachable right now.

    Good old Canada. <3

    1 question.
    Can you make a feature where if you connect to bukkit.org from outside of the US, we can see the bukkit logo? It's annoying to see the awesome Bukkit logo blocked out because of something happening in another country...

    Yea, here in the Netherlands the Brein foundation (industry puppet) just won a case versus 2 big ISPs, they now have to block the piratebay, and ANY other IP Brein 'suggests' to them, without interference of a court or something.

    It wont hold, dont worry, but the fact some backward senile judge who doesn't understand the figures he's supposed to judge about can make this work...

    The worst part of Censorship is *****************.

    Not as much though.

    BTW, we don't live in igloos.
    Welcome to Canada.

    I suggest you live in Vancouver :D. Peter Chao lives there!

    That wont do anything, Sites will still be taken down albeit only US based ones

    Not as much though. American's have no permission to censor things posted in Canada.
    Suck that SOPA.

    You need to educate yourself more about what SOPA and P.I.P.A is, they'll affect you as much as they will every other user.

    Sorry about not searching up what SOPA and PIPA is, i'm from Canada, and I didn't think that it would really affect us much...

    Yes it will affect us as much. How would you feel if you couldn't use YouTube, Facebook and Twitter?
    If you're out side the US go to this link: http://americancensorship.org/modal/state-dept-petition/index.html
    EvilSeph Can you put that link on the OP? I know you have a link to americancensorship.org already but just say go to this if you're non-US, I think if everyone outside the US did this, the US government might actually realise how many people this affects.

    They are trying a British student for an american censorship crime in america (it wasnt illegal in his home country where he lives)

    And they didnt need SOPA/PIPA to do it as is.

    When say Facebook gets de-listed from US ISP's, Facebook will have just lost a HUGE amount of revenue they might keep going but they will probably end up having to shut down because they are getting no US based traffic

    I just signed the petition with all 5 of my emails...
    I suppose...
    Is it overloaded or something?

    The internet is feeling awfully sluggish today...
