On January 18th, many websites including this one, and even the shard, went offline in protest of SOPA, a legislation which will allow the US government to shut down any site if they suspect any copyright infringement. When it comes to copyright, unlike murder, they do not need any kind of evidence. They will act without further investigating.
If/when it passes, it will be a disaster.
This is the first time in AOV's history that the server is offline for this long.
The protest page got over 42,000 page views, so hopefully we contributed to getting the message across.
All web services are now back online, and the shard is online.
