OMEC Service Suspension; SOPA/PIPA protest.

Hey there,

In case anyone is unaware, this thread is in regards to the temporary service suspension of OMEC Games services (forums) for a period from 18-January-2012 16:30 through 22-January-2012 09:00 in electronic protest against proposed SOPA & PIPA legislation in the United States.
Firstly, I would like to apologize that service was suspended with no notice to anyone. Second, while the OMEC Games community is so very small, I chose to join the movement against SOPA and PIPA anyway knowing full well that the greater world of the internet wouldn't notice - it was a principle in standing up for a free and open internet. Lastly, the proposed SOPA & PIPA legislation would affect all internet users worldwide, not just within the U.S. which is why service was suspended to all users and not just our U.S.-based membership.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, I've left this thread open for them.

Due to the sudden nature of OMEC's participation in the electronic protest, I've reinstated service effective 22-January-2012 00:15 (GMT -0700), 8 hours, 45 minutes early.
