Yeah I'm kinda against closing the site down for a day, that's like ragequitting the Internet, so I guess that censor bar banner will do.

And yes, that banner is my fault. Hope you like :) That SOPA thing will hurt our site, as we have lots of user-generated content and FOSS software hosted here.

Just for shitz in giggles. Based on this bill. Just the song remix section in OUR download library is enough to get omnimaga blocked. not to mention all of the ports of games we have which is "infringing on intellectual rights".

just figured i would pass that out

Good points. What if we started an e-mail based community?

Well the site closing is more to picture how the Internet would look like if the SOPA bill would be enforced abusively, but people who don't get it (especially those living outside USA) might think we closed forever and we would lose members.

Note that that song section is invisible to guests, though, so government or original owners of those songs would have to sign up to our site to notice them, unless they actually monitored our site content through admin access of any kind.

Maybe you guys could send a mass email, that way the users who are not always here would know, too.

I really like the idea of an email-based community.

Or we could even program our own internet protocol...

Wait why do you only have the choice between a banner or shut down website for a day? I don't think I get what's going on :P

We could start a mailing list. Several communities started as mailing lists. Or else there's Usenet.

@Spyro543: I have been thinking of making a new internet protocol, too. The internet is miserably slow where I live, but I was working on a method so that everybody in the local area could have free 24/7 access to the news in that system and whatnot. It would be open to a limited userbase and spread out in communities around the world. If one went down with an infection, the rest would still be up and working, too, and there would be no way to censor or throw a kill switch.
