the government trying to censor the internet

I saw this in the evo 3d forum wanted to spread the word
http://americancensorship.org/
Today, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system. This bill can pass. If it does the Internet and free speech will never be the same. Join all of us to stop this bill.

Let me guess you don't vote cause it doesn't help do anything.

I live in the real world. Give me a few million dollars and I'm sure I can usurp your useless thread about this. The only thing that matters to them is who's donating and how much.
Whether I vote or not has absolutely nothing rinding with what I said.
You think its odd that it took a bunch of Mega corporations to instill doubt in some of them?
Welcome to USA Politics. Enjoy your stay.

How many of you guys actually told your congressman to vote no on the SOPA bill?

I e-mailed both of the NY senators even before XDA has been blacked out. And I tried e-mailing my congresswoman but she claims she doesn't represent my district.

Yeah they are swamped by now with letters,and emails by now

Dear Michal,
Thank you for writing to me regarding S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act of 2011. I understand your concerns.
I am a cosponsor of this legislation because I believe that we must protect American intellectual property against foreign websites that infringe upon our rights. By empowering the Attorney General of the United States to go after foreign infringing websites, this legislation becomes a necessary tool to ensure that U.S. companies remain competitive in the world marketplace. I recognize that there are technical concerns with the enforcement of this bill that need to be addressed. I am committed to working with my colleagues in the United States Senate to ensure that this legislation protects the Constitutional rights of Americans and does not stifle lawful free speech or innovation on the internet.
Thank you again for writing to express your concerns, and I hope that you keep in touch with my office regarding future legislation. For more information on this and other important issues, please visit my website at http://gillibrand.senate.gov and sign up for my e-newsletter.
Sincerely,
Kirsten E. Gillibrand
United States Senator

Off Topic Thread

I know this thread isnt entirely skyrocket related, but it is nice to have an off-topic thread for SKYROCKET USERS to have to kick back and talk. Going to the off-topic forum is one thing, but those threads can get so jumbled and congested in a matter of hours that nobody knows who is talking to who. Besides, after the months I have spent with this forum, this is the only group I get along with, and the only group I care to get along with.

This thread gets locked, then this thread is misunderstood. This should be a place to chill so the other threads won't get spammed. But if that's the case then so be it.

Cleaned thread. I already locked the other thread for reasons that are known to those that crossed a line. I don't mine a off topic thread to "chill out" and just hang out, but If I have to continually intervene then its not worth keeping open. Hope everyone can keep out of trouble and have fun.
Cheers

Armyveterangunner29, I believe in your sincerity regarding your message which you clearly demonstrate care for the quality of both content and membership of the skyrocket forum, and I thank you.
You are among many others in this forum which have been very helpful to many and have worked hard to share your work. I expect we shall see many great things yet to come from you and others alike.
Thanks, Alex​__________________
To agree with you further armyvet, as collective owners of this forum, its in our hands to shape the forum's culture -which reflects it's members. There are members here that make a larger presence than others, and I encourage these individuals to use their influence to promote growth and community. This forum must foster its own growth for continued development of the skyrocket here on XDA; or face the ax of legacy status.
Many have been here from the skyrocket's launch, others a little later, and some more yet to come. As other devices launch our community changes shape and new waves of members come, as others leave. The skyrocket forum has always maintained it's welcome to everyone in a friendly and helpful manner.

XDA is a development forum...

...not a complaint forum. Go somewhere else please. I can't read topics about my Nexus 7 because this section and Q&A, even Development are flooded with complaints. We could use a moderator over here. The Inspire section used to be like this but was cleaned up. This is a development forum for devs, not a woe is me forum. See the name, XDA-Developers?

XDA has evolved into much more than a development forum. The development is now pigeon-holed to the Development section of each device. Check there.

This is the "General" board. If you are looking for the "Development" board, I found it here for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1677

Go into any other "general" forum. It is threads helping development, information, etc. Not baseless complaining. Straight from a moderator and from the XDA phone splash page: "XDA was founded by developers, for developers."

All new device forums start off like this. Maybe after another month or so, everything will clean up and people will stop complaining.

It a new toy, you get this on any forum witth new toys, give a few weeks and the whingers will have thrown the new toy out of the pram and moved onto something else. This forum has nothing on some of the Pro Photography forums where they gather to complain about the latest £10k pro camera and how its missing this or that and swamping the forums to the point that people who make a living from the things cant hear above the noise and dross.
On the bright side they all get board soon and move along to whing at something else.

PS. I can understand maybe you are sick of the complaints if you are device is fine, and most probably are fine. But ASUS brings this on themselves, almost every dang tablet they release seems to have a really rough first batch.
As Accused24 said, once people get their bad units replaced, the frustrated cries will die down.

Oh the irony of this thread is priceless.

No, I'm simply doing as romans do.

This is supposed to be a development forum.
This too.
The forum in which this thread is located is clearly marked "general" and part of a publicly registrable set of forums.
And this thread is deliciously ironic.

XDA...for developers by developers. If you actually read what mods have to say, terms of service, etc you'd understand that.

So apparently just because people flood other forums with complaints it is okay to do it and keep doing it here?
My advise, avoid Q&A and General section because people like to be boss and do what they like over the net.

What development have you actually contributed to XDA?

Complaining about complaints.
Works like a charm.
No really, I do get ur sentiment and I dont really mean to troll u. But im just sayin, posts like this do more harm than good.

Nothing in a while. A good bit for my old phones before I was on the Nexus forum. At this point, I wouldn't even post if it wasn't for the annoying basement dwellers on here flooding this forum with stupid crap.

The op needs to calm down, wait a month when this isn't a highly anticipated device. Then it will be normal, just like every new device

Sorry maybe my post wasn't clear, I only have one for myself, but others have duplicate orders.
I assume many of them may try cancelling the second order with Google, but if they post here first maybe some other XDA members can work out a deal. I wouldn't recommend paying anyone until they have the Nexus 4 in their hands, but I guess some trustworthy XDA'ers might want the money upfront if they can't afford to have Google charge them twice.

I understand that you are trying to help fellow XDA members but please continue this in the Marketplace section
