Shut boyah down for the SOPA protest?

[Commander Fuckass]

like thyme said

Thyme: i mean sure, boyah is a tiny website no one knows of, but it's the principle, you know

[strongbad]

Do it
even though it doesn't really matter it would be funny

and i would basically have nothing to do on the internet for a day which sounds nice

Personally, I don't see the point, as Boyah isn't viewed by anyone who doesn't post here regularly (besides bots, who don't care). This thread basically accomplishes the principle of raising awareness within the Boyah community... think of the noposts 

[bluaki]

No; the shut downs are mostly to raise SOPA awareness, but it's not like any of us don't already know plenty about it and in a group like this it'd have absolutely no effect.

Then again, maybe some of us could benefit from a day of being forced to do other things

That's the plan, Stan

plus think of the Kazstream chats :[

But that's just essentially a different division of Boyah.

you just p. much changed my mind lol

plus boyah is a nice place to talk about the protest

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i wouldn't mind, but it'd be preaching to the choir

[snoorkel]

You have three minutes to make a decision

[Kalahari Inkantation]

nah

[Commander Fuckass]

yah

[strongbad]

i wouldn't mind, but it'd be preaching to the choir

How is it preaching to the choir?

How is it preaching to the choir?

boyagers, as conscious citizens of the interbutts, are probably among the most adamant opponents of sopa, i.e., no one on boyah is in support of sopa/pipa

[Mando Pandango]

What? No. Of course no. The whole point of it is to raise awareness. I'm sure there are still a lot of people who don't frequent the internet like we do who don't understand what the problems are with SOPA and PIPA, or even what they are. That's why those major sites are going down. Boyah's a small site and we're all already pretty aware. There's absolutely no point.

I'm fine with doing things out of principle, but in this case the principle isn't the important part. Why bother?

[snoorkel]

how's this sound: as an exercise in groupthink, and to contribute our awareness to the national/global SOPA protest, Boyah will redirect for a few hours  during kazstream or something
