	+ ------ + ''2012-01-18 11:02:04'' [[nbsp]] The above comment was the first community request for a blackout. I'm not 100% sure what to make of this. + + This is a trivial thing to implement on the technical side, and I would do so in a heartbeat. But I think, to be maximally effective, the desire to do so must come from the community. It's the difference between "I, the Sysadmin, decree that this content shall not be served" and "We, the Community of Creators of the Content, decree that this content shall not be served." But the RocWiki community has been largely silent. + + In short, I'm not going to unilaterally restrict access to others' content based on what I believe to be the "right" thing to do. + + Should I have pursued this more actively, as a community member? Probably. Sometimes I forget that RocWiki is a big thing, and I have a lot of influence here. Ultimately, though, I serve the community, and I try to listen more than I speak. (I also go to sleep before midnight and don't check my e-mail until pretty late in the day, which is why it's nearly 11 hours in and there's still no "official" response. :-) --["Users/RyanTucker"]

	+ ------ + ''2012-01-18 00:09:50'' [[nbsp]] It's been January 18th - Blackout Wednesday - for a few minutes now, and I visited hoping to see RocWiki.org blacked out. What are the chances of this happening? House members from the Rochester and WNY areas have been mum on their support for SOPA, and both of our NYS Senators openly support PIPA. We need constituents - and RocWiki users and contributors - to keep the pressure on... --["Users/daverea"]

As much as I like some of the companies and web sites against it, I cannot take their word for it that the bill says it will do they say it will do. I want citations from the actual legislation.
