What can you do to show your support?
Facebook users are also urged to protest by joining the “Stop Internet Censorship by Protesting SOPA event” and posting censored photo galleries to their Facebook walls on the 18th.
WordPress users wanting to join in the protest might find the SOPA Blackout plugin, which adds a temporary 503 status and customisable page to your site automatically. Blogspot users can easily show their support, too.
This list will be updated as I find out about more participating websites. If anyone has news of other sites joining in the protest, let me know (please include your source) so I can add them to the list.
Hi – MemeStreams.net will be participating.
http://www.memestreams.net/thread/bid158935/
We are in: http://www.doodlekit.com/blog/entry/2712323/save-the-internet-stop-sopa-pipa

Hello,
I will be blacking out both my business and political sites on January 18. Feel free to add them to your list:
http://www.johnshawcomputers.com
http://www.johnshaw.org
Best wishes to all.
– John
The Economic Populist will be offline January 18th to protest the SOPA and PIPA legislation.
I am taking http://thatswutshesaid.com down as well. Doesn’t get much traffic, but every little bit counts, right? I’m guessing most of my traffic is from people who don’t know what SOPA/PIPA is.
Our site Bollywood Chat will be participating by displaying a SOPA notice with links and further information.

My anime and manga review blog, Doube Cross Reviews will be going dark on the 18th as well. http://doublecrossreviews.blogspot.com/
http://www.blamonet.com is set to join the blackout
http://www.blamonet.com/vb/showthread.php/256514-Should-Blamonet-Blackout-Next-Wednesday-in-Protest-of-SOPA
(The answer was yes.)
Anonymous Iberoamerica blog – http://www.anonibero.tk and http://anonopsibero.blogspot.com will also be offline for #SOPA
You can add thegrindery.com to that list.
I’m so happy to see large and small sites doing this!
Our business, ROCKET-IT (http://rocket-it.com.au/) and our subdomains – AfterLifeLochie at ROCKET-IT (http://afterlifelochie.rocket-it.com.au/) and our gaming servers (http://afterlifelochie.tk/) are already in the procedure of being shut down and suspended so we’re ready in time.
http://warriorclancats.forumotion.com has a possibility of blacking out also. Our site here has almost 700 users, so more nice blackout goodness. π
http://www.technobuffalo.com will also be blacking out that day!
http://bronyfarm.com and http://mlpf.im will be down too. If you need any further evidence, check the twitter @bronyfarm
stiffystyle.com, although in it’s early stages, would rather eat shit than not protest the abomination of SOPA and PIPA. We will go dark
We in the GTA community think SOPA and PIPA are unconstitutional in accordance with everyone else we will be taking down our webservices for http://www.gtapolicemods.com in protest to the bills pending in the senate and congress.
We will be pulling our business website down as well as my personal site for a hard blackout (full 24 hours).
Business site: http://www.techdirect.biz
Personal site: http://www.gtwy.net
I’ll be taking my two sites off for the day: http://civilizeddisobedience.com and http://onegoodyear.com as well as staying off social media sites for the day. Well, except maybe Twitter…
My web site http://www.lolbucket.com will be joining the blackout in protest of SOPA and PIPA.
our small but merry band of book reviewers based on the http://www.dinstudio.com core will be down, including sites like radioactivereviews.dinstudio.com, darthbookreviews.dinstudio.com, thefoutainofknowledge.dinstudio.com, dmsreviews.dinstudio.com and a few more.
I’m in! Bringing http://www.krispvisions.com down all day on the 18th, and any other blackout day. We stand united against SOPA/PIPA!
http://hosterblog.com
will be closed for 24 hrs
http://www.thelongestwayhome.com/blog/ Will be blacking out as PIPA still seems to be going through!
I will be joining the blackout with my website http://www.sumob.com which has had over 1.6 million unique users since late 2008. Though I don’t have any user generated content, I would like to help raise awareness of SOPA.
http://igxpro.net/2012/01/15/white-house-opposes-sopa-in-its-current-form-razer-and-many-others-also-voice-their-opinion/1013411
also at: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/oh5xp/we_at_razer_wish_to_respectfully_communicate_our/
the article mentions: “Razer is among a select few individuals who plan to black out their sites in protest of SOPA”
Many of my project Gonna be Off for All this week.
The ones that should join to really get this support are
YouTube
Stumbleupon
They both stand to get effected.
Google should blacken their page that day as well, even if fully functional
We’ll be taking down http://www.englishforums.com and will redirect around 1/4 million mostly non-American users to the censorship information pages. Good luck internet.
