That would have been a much better approach for the PR. :biggrin:

I wish they'd just use that image when the forums go down.

In 20 minute increments :^D

"We can't honestly be expected to shut down everything for an extended period of time. Reddit's approach is beyond comprehension. We'll demonstrate our protest by making the website inaccessible for relatively short periods of time, and extremely painful to use the majority of the time."

That'll show 'em!
:awe:

I plan to protest SOPA. Tonight I'll be using body washa instead.

 

[GrumpyMan]

I see what you did there, you mean because they can't keep the forums up to save their lives. Ohhhhh.....

 

[ultimatebob]

Anandtech? No. Anandtech's database server? Possibly

Heh. Ya know... if they ever created that IT sub-forum that I requested a few years ago, we might have some visitors who know how to fix this...

Everyone loves the forum going up and down while the main site stays constantly up. It's like a riding a roller-coaster yet you're stuck riding next to a fat guy.

Anandtech is protesting SOPA by going dark at various times of the day, you will get server or database errors.

Anandtech's database is dirty and the only cure is SOPA!

hehe.

No soup for you!

 

[Icepick]

So is Anandtech going to join the thousands of other websites who will go dark today? If not, why?

for the Lulz I checked a few random sites. Newegg, Amazon, Yahoo, Ebay. They're still live. Guess they are in support of SOPA. "If you're not with us, you're against us."

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

No, it must pass.
