::Hmmmmmm . . . I'm not sure on this - to specifically support [[WikiIndex]], I think I'm gonna have to sit on the fence. Reasons: I <u>fully</u> support something like say [[Wikipedia]] (though they should have pulled the plug on all language versions) - because WP is a US-hosted site, and the Wikimedia Foundation is a US-hosted business (and probably more importantly, a charity). But whilst I respect that WikiIndex is also a US-hosted site, I struggle to see how WI has the same 'relevence' as an encyclopaedic site such as WP (and I don't mean this in any kind of derrogatory manner!). Fundamentally, WikiIndex is basically a 'search engine' for <big>ALL</big> wikis - <u>worldwide</u> - so I fail to see how a British/Irish/Australian/Canadian/South African wiki, or indeed any non-English language wiki from a non-English language country (Germany/France/Peru/China, etc) is affected by a proposed United States law - the US may be big, but it doesn't 'rule' the world!!! | ::Hmmmmmm . . .

::Anyway, just my reasons - but I won't have any problems if you do wish to pull the plug here at WI for 24hrs - maybe my SWMBO would be happy, she naggs me to get on with other work at home! :/ --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 05:34, 18 January 2012 (PST) | ::Anyway, just my reasons - but I won't have any problems if you do wish to pull the plug here at WI for 24hrs - maybe my SWMBO would be happy, she naggs me to get on with other work at home! :/ --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 05:34, 18 January 2012 (PST) | ||
