[Is US congress a threat to Forum/Game Access?]

[Shiro]

This may seem a tad silly, perhaps off-topic [I honestly didn't know where to put this] but I'm sure most of us are aware of have heard of this censorship threat to the web.

So what's that got to do with FeralHeart?

Well simply put what's the chance that US users could be blocked from the game site?
Eventhough we'd likely be able to play ingame after a patch it'd be something along the lines of LolNo.
I'm confident US congress is totally out of their minds but do have trust that they're crazy and if they managed to catch ahold of any types of certain debate threads, etc. within the site they'd eliminate the use of it for us.

Maybe I didn't do my homework through and through reading all the documentations but..I'm sure somewhere along the lines someone else has to have pondered this themselves. :/

I'm not really sure how it would work out either. Really big sites like Facebook, wikipedia, youtube, will probably will have whatever content they do not like removed and blocked simply because it doesn't state what they want to hear, staying up because they cannot simply take such sources away from the people without causing a "hell" for themselves. Lesser sites that doesn't have the same user base most likely get blocked off completely if they spot some discussions or content taking it too far according to them.

Probably like slowly strangling someone or something.

I'm not sure how this law will work out for those overseas, but I got a feeling that it would start out like nothing, then turn out bigger and bigger. FH site shouldn't be a problem to a start exactly, but what will happen is not easy to tell.

All I can see is the country starting to move backwards instead.

Yeah I could agree, sorry for the semi-off topic thread here again.
Hopefully FH's unity of nations won't cause problems or 'threats' [Psh. =_=] to our 'happy jolly free nation' and give the 'system' reason to censor it. :/
But yeah..I may suggest to the staff possibly researching the topic just incase so that they can help keep the site free of any type of violation that would mean harm for the site.

Better safe than sorry.

  I think there might be some affect on the forum. After all, not everyones signatures are exactly copyright free, some are from Tumblr, which is a site that is DEFINATELY going to be affected. So we'll probably lose a lot of signatures XD They'll probably close down image sharing sites too, so we'll lose almost all images too, probably >.>

[Redlinelies]

As long as the sites are hosted elsewhere and not in the US they will not be taken down. Possibly blocked for those in the US though..

[Shiro]

Ah yeah Kyu, thank's for that reminder I need to go and save those stray images on my photobucket. xD

But anyway thanks for replying. I guess the only thing to do now is sit, hope, and not freak out. It'll be a blow if it does happen but..Eh nothing we can do other than hope Kov doesn't release another patch anytime soon /IF/ they do pass this stupid law. ._.

BTW Would any mod/admin mind moving this thread to the discussion board later if possible?

Good question Shiro, and I agree with the others.
It could have some effect such as lack of members but I am sure (like the others said) they're main goal is to close down the biggest sites (Yahoo, Wikipedia, Google and a lot of other big names).

'tis very silly, people like this are all power seekers, thats why there are so many of them.

[Shiro]

Haha Very true. The US gov is quite controlling. The whole idea to do such a thing to start with is more, give or take, another way of honestly blocking us out from what we want so they can feed us only what they want. Serious power issues for real. xD

[autumns]

Yeah I hate them blocking off all this, and if they end up doing anything to this site, I'm gonna get even more upset :'c.
And @Zarogue, You never know if they'll get to here or not. I hope they don't.....

Posting this on both threads I've seen about this.
