FYI: Spiletta.com will be dark tomorrow

Just FYI my site will be down tomorrow for the PIPA protest. Obviously my fanfic is unlikely to get enough traffic for that to matter much, but my horse racing site gets several hundred visitors a day, which makes it worth it ( Read more... )

I don't know how to take my site down for the day.

The organizers of the protest are distributing a javascript that redirects to their protest page, based on the time and date of the visitor's computer. It's as easy as pasting that into the header of a page and reuploading it. And if the script fails, I'll just rename the entire folder via FTP, and change my 404 page to a redirect script.

There's the actual info.

Amen, sistah. I'll be offline tomorrow in protest, and am thinking of setting my LJ to private with just a SOPA/PIPA sticky, because SOPA's not dead... it's dormant.

(I'm back down to my free account 15 icons, but if I still had my 35, I'd be using the AWESOME icon.)

I'd do that, too, but I'm far too lazy to go back through years of entries to change the security settings back to flocked, open, and private once it was over. I thought of nuking the whole thing for 24 hours, since I know that works, but without an explanation or a link to sopastrike it would be a little pointless.
