When I first saw the bar, I was like "What the heck! Who's messing with my laptop!!!" Then I clicked it and figure it out

So, I hear Wikipedia is going to be taking part on the 18th.  Are any other big sites doing the same?

Hm, we might darken the site on the 18th, but not close it.

Actually the issue with darkening the site though is if you accidentally mess up during backing up the previous CSS and images and when it's time to darken the site CSS you lose the original, then it's kinda bad. Plus there's the fact Omnimaga has 6 themes installed. For example, notice how the Stop Censorship banner only shows up on the default theme.

That's unless you use Javascript, but then you need to be careful so it won't freeze people browsers. CLosing it might not be a good idea since it could damage the userbase if some users take the shut down seriously.

Check it right now
They have a notice:
Please note: In less than 24 hours, the English Wikipedia will be blacked out globally to protest SOPA and PIPA.
In other words, Wikipedia is protesting against US internet censorship that could also affect the rest of the world.

It is now. Wikipedia is down (although by disabling Javscript you can visit it fine). Same for Omnimaga's downloads section. Cemetech and Invisionfree censored their banners.

EDIT: Weird the french version of Wikipedia is still up ???
