As most people know the internet is currently on strike against some bills of the U.S. Congress that have incited fear into many with their restrictions on freedom and various threats to censor material that could lead to an abusive power over the internet.
Since I am against it I have censored the Fire Emblem Shrine: http://www.feshrine.net - the forums are still working but the mainsite is censored for the time being. This is part of my protest against SOPA and PIPA. I suggest you also protest because everyone person helps, but I can't force you.
Many other websites, such as Mozilla, Google, and Wikipedia (those are some of the most popular/well-known ones--there's also tumblr, failblog, Vimeo, Flickr, and MANY others that you can find at http://sopastrike.org) are also participating so just from this you can tell how big of a deal this is. Some sites are participating more than others (just imagine if Google were shut down for an entire day--that'd be TERRIBLE to the ENTIRE COUNTRY--it'd seriously have HUMONGOUS effects... anyway) but the point remains the same.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you too stand up for your freedoms because no one else will.
Regards,
Blazer

Good work, Blazer. I approve of the mainsite censor. Just checked it out-- looks pretty legit (and cool looking!).
Screw you, SOPA.

I went to that one site and sent an email to my congressmen or whatever. SOPA's ****ing douchey.
But really, it's going to hurt the web. Not only is it a step towards large amounts of censorship, but it also hurts the security. I don't really remember all the jargon, but I read that it actually make it easier for people to hijack your connections with websites and send you to untrusted pages.

It seems that the government needs to go back to World Geography. I bet they were looking at a map and Thought that we were "China" but hopefully they become more educated and realize that through the constitution, what they are doing is not right. (Also I went on the mainsite for the first time in over a year 
hahaha)
hahaha)

Sorry I didn't get a chance to log in earlier and check it out (long story) but I'm glad to see you participated! Nice censor, btw. That is a seriously awesome censor.

Hopefully you're kidding, but i mean I'm not much into hacking or really Fire Emblem at all anymore ( I only ever go for speed playthroughs when I do play, and the only game i have now is PoR without a memory card, so I really get screwed when someone dies, and if Ike Die's I have to completely restart
) but otherwise, I would hit that shit up like it was one of the many bitches in the world (kidding about hitting bitches up)

You can't tell by the "haha", "ouch", and "XD" that I was just teasing? I only visit my own site like once a week man. XD
Anyhow, the censor is over. Thanks for the support. You can be sure that if I remember I will continue to participate in any such protests as possible, as an American citizen.

No, but it looked just like this:

FEShrine is also on this list:
http://sopastrike.com/on-strike/
though that doesn't mean much

I'm in the same boat as Merc/Ledah (Still weird having to refer to people as their new names since I knew him previously as Merc for so long but anyway...)
Looks pretty legit from what Blazer just put up. Keep up the nice work good sir.
