User blog:GunsnadGlory/Internet Slowdown

Hiya, guys!

I haven't been very active recently (partially because I'm moving all my Windows computers over to Ubuntu, and partially because my current homework load is keeping me awake till 3 in the morning), but I felt I had to mention this.

Many of you have heard that numerous websites are starting an "Internet Slowdown" movement; some of you have heard that Wikia is one of those websites.

Friends, Wikians, Fellow Althistorians, I would like to propose that we follow along. I'm not an admin, and this may be out of line, but we need to do something about this, because I think we can safely say that no one else.

We can make a difference. Yes, only a few hundred people have ever edited this wiki, yes, only maybe half of that will even notice that, but it does matter, because we can set an example. There are bigger wikis out there, wikis with thousands of active members, and if we can even slightly influence one of them, then I'd say we've done well. If all of us tell even one other person about this, then we can make some damn big waves. Even if we don't- even if the movement fails- we can at least say that we tried.

If that does happen, I'm moving to Finland. Linus Torvalds, awesome drivers with great cars, ridiculous HDI and frankly, this kind of crap doesn't happen there.
