And Nothing Of Value Was Lost

As some on the Internet might be aware, tomorrow (Wednesday, January 18th) marks the date that many websites, including Wikipedia, Reddit, Rockpapershotgun, and innumerable others will be "going dark" (becoming completely inaccessible, outside of an informational message) to protest the upcoming United States bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA). Blaugh! will be following suit.

...Well, not really. I'd love to participate in this blackout myself, but the thing is, I doubt enough people are aware of Blaugh! in itself, so going dark would serve no purpose whatsoever. Unless Google decides that Blogger as a whole will be blacking out tomorrow, Blaugh! should (theoretically) remain operational. Not that it really matters.
