Today's Blackout

Welcome back to access to SGT everyone. We've missed you.

Imagine one day you log onto SGT and a screen like that pops up, except it's not Cujo who made it happen as a demonstration, it's the government and they've shut us down because some person or company claimed that we had something defamatory or copyrighted.

Not on my watch. If it happens, I am moving to a freer country, like China.

A few more Margaritas and you could have had your very own blackout! :D:

When I couldn't lurk, I investigated a little further on the blackout page and deep within the bowels I found a list of close to 8000 sites that were participating. And those were just the ones that notified them. SGT was not among them. How do I know? I copied and pasted them into a spreadsheet and sorted them, looking specifically for SGT. So who knows how many sites actually took place. It's mind boggling.

It was horrible. I had go to either Board X or YouTube.
After much debate (and a few cold ones ;) ) YouTube won out. :cool:
