Reddit going down for SOPA.

We’ve seen some amazing activism organized by redditors at /r/sopa and across the reddit community at large. You have made a difference in this fight; and as we near the next stage, and after much thought, talking with experts, and hearing the overwhelming voices from the reddit community, we have decided that we will be blacking out reddit on January 18th from 8am–8pm EST (1300–0100 UTC).

Good.

That's nice of them. Think I'll join them afterwards.

Good stuff! I hope the other heavy weights opposed to this bill also do the same. Imagine FB down for a day.

That said, 12 hours without reddit... what am I to do?? I look forward to the influx of "blackout" submissions once they're back, though.

Gonna say nothing to my lusers.

If they bleat about service X being down, then I can use that as an excuse
