[Coda]

We're in full support of the anti-SOPA movement but given that we're in the middle of a posting event it seemed like a bad idea to bring Trisphee down and nobody had time to put together anything less invasive like a censor bar.

As my own personal statement (this doesn't reflect the views of Trisphee, just Coda) I think the blackout isn't really a good idea anyway; I have substantial doubts that it's going to make a difference, and it just disrupts normal day-to-day activity for the average user. I know that's the POINT of the protest, but I don't think the protest alone is going to change a single congressional vote. The petitions might. The letter-writing campaign might. But I think the protest's primary effect is going to be annoying the crap out of the average citizen (especially non-US citizens who don't even have a voice in the matter) -- any politician who would have been swayed by the blackout would have been swayed by all of the other protests leading up to it, and any politician who has chosen to keep their vote regardless of public opinion will be ignoring the blackout.

If this blackout has any benefit, it'll be to alert the citizens who have been ignoring the news that there's something going on, but the reactions so far have been continued, willful ignorance. (Go search Twitter for "wikipedia wtf" and you'll see what I mean.)
