Net Neutrality in the US is once again in danger, and we would really appreciate it if you would help spread awareness, we need to get as many people to call congress as we can to stop it. Please join the protest and save the internet.
If the FCC gets their way ISP's will be able to slow down certain sites, give other people faster internet for the same price, and block websites.

We put out an article on net neutrality I believe. I personally think we should add a widget like the one on https://3ds.guide/

Agreed. It would be nice if, since we're getting down to crunch time, maybe @Costello or @shaunj66 could add one of the BattleForTheNet widgets to the site header? It could be as intrusive or non-intrusive as you guys want it to be, but as we get into the final 24 hours I think that our US members really need to be reminded of the urgency of the situation

I put the article in the top right of the front page.
I appreciate it, but I kind of feel like the "featured" articles are a little easy to ignore if you're not looking for them

Although, if that's all that can reasonably be done, then I definitely appreciate it, especially since it's a very well written article

It's about all I can do from here, though I could sticky it again too.

I added a pixelated Tempy logo effect and changed the text in the header temporarily. Alongside the article Chary wrote and the general awareness we've given the campaign I don't think there's much more we can do without causing a nuisance to our global audience as evidenced by the recent discussion in the site feedback board.

Let's just wait with bated breath and hope the free internet we deserve remains and our freedom of speech is respected.
