RPG Frontier will be down on 18 January, between 7:30 AM and 7:00 PM EST, in protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act, also known as SOPA and PIPA, two items of proposed American legislation which you can learn about here (a video) or here (text). Access will not be possible during this time. However, upon the end of the blackout, our operations will resume as normal. Backups have been downloaded in case of catastrophe.

After a community vote, the Frontier's members have agreed that these bills pose a threat to the free and open nature of the Internet, for Americans and many other people around the world. We have joined this blackout in solidarity with many, many other sites through this program. If you are interested in SOPA or PIPA, and why these bills are such a problem, you are again advised to read up on the issue here (a video) or here (text).
