CharacterChat Protest

Hey guys,

If you look around the internet today, you might think it's internet goth day with all the black. (Not being stereotypical here, but yeah). Well. Wikipedia, Google, Mozzila, and a large number of minor sites are protesting a bill (SOPA & PIPA) in the U.S. by totally shutting off their sites, and redirecting to several petitions against it. I know some of us here aren't from the U.S. and aren't as heavily affected, but I wanted to make a note.

The logo's gone today, but'll be back after the internet blackout's over, I couldn't with an open heart take away your RP's for a day xp. So I took down the logo and made this announcement. Now I wanted to make a note of this to you guys because the writing community can be impacted heavily by this bill, as a lot of sites (Such as Inkpop and figment(The two best known here)) could be shutdown by the bill. Even Fanfiction could run a major risk against this bill, but I haven't noticed any writing sites taking note to the occurrence. So I figured we could be one of the few.

Google is holding one of the largest petitions, can be found here http://www.Google.com/TakeAction or occasionally in the top advertisement bar.
