Hey Guys, I guess Reddit is going to do a blackout on the 18th where the whole sight will be replaced with a single page describing what's wrong with SOPA and how you can contact Congress and fight it.
I think we (even though we're small) could make a few waves by participating in this blackout and doing something similar.
