Thank you for your support of January 18th's SOPA/PIPA Strike! As you may be aware, the entire Battlestar Wiki network (from English- to German- to French-language versions and beyond) went on strike to protest the SOPA and PIPA legislations that aim to destabilize and destroy the internet as we know it. We rolled the hard six and decided not stand idly by while the incompetent legislators of the United States of America destroy freedom of speech and expression, and thus we went on a complete blackout for over 24 hours on the 18th after midnight.
