Hello, we declare war on censorship

It's only in the building stages currently but, I though I'd see what you think.

http://waroncensorship.com - current 'holding' page with some info
http://waroncensorship.com/progress/ - the design (dummy text)

Hope you like

We plan to make a community out of this, we are also going to have a pr0xy but that will be hidden from the public (it's gonna be a special one that will not be blocked, but for that reason we cannot unveil it to public eyes).

Anyway, enjoy

I love this idea for adults. In fact I have a strict no censorship policy on my website in progress, except for slanderous/attacking statements which are distracting

This is a plain design, clean cut, but there is nothing to comment on if you ask me

The dark red text on top of the black bar is a little tough contrast-wise. You might want to consider brightening it up a bit. People with some vision impairments may not be able to read it.

As for your cause.. good luck. Censorship in one form or another has been a part of human civilization for centuries, and it's not going to go away any time soon.

Ohh I see I only looked at the first link,
As mentioned before the red letter on top should be a little more easy to read

Very nice design other than that

Thanks, firstly I will be updating the site soon, but I'm moving server and the domain has yet to propagate and I don't want to screw it up.

@LadynRed, I know censorship isn't going to go, but our aim is to bring it right to people's attention, promote it and FIGHT as much as possible against it I love a good riot.

As far as content goes I’m all for another idealist voicing their opinions about the state of our erroneous society, I’ll be anxious to see how far it goes. As far as the design I like that you selected a simple one. I think that it’s good for this type of site. –good luck.

I think it would be ironic if you had censors all over your site. I know it would be contrary to your goals but who can pass up good irony?

The design itself is very simple. It basically looks like a blog template at this point. Simple designs seem to work well with this kind of site.

Check out http://www.makepovertyhistory.org/whiteband/index.shtml that's a nice cause with a simple site. Or www.joinred.com, that's another big cause with a simple site. Use them for inspiration.

Are you going to be linking back to any other organizations that are already working against censorship? I know there was a big organization that was started to combat the PMRC way back when, but I don't remember their name.

Is there some kind of plan in place for what visitors can do to help stop censorship? There should be some specific thing they can do to help the cause. That will get them involved.

If you keep the focus on the message, I think you'll be okay. Its an admirable cause.

Yes, we will be linking to other sites. As for user stuff we're getting a list. So far we have signing the big fat petition, the FIGHT (basically methods to get around censorship), user submitted FIGHT articles. A template email and form (editable email) that users can send to numerous organizations that produce these evil blockers, like websense. Users will also be able to promote the cause via buttons etc. Any other ideas?

Does anyone think we need a logo? Maybe a fire burning a no entry sign or something?

Lastly, I don't think we can censor the site, this is a serious cause...

I don't think a "logo" would be bad. It would actually dress up the page a bit. I don't know that you want to get too complex with the logo though. All of the best political campaigns are managed like Macintosh commercials. The way they work is simple, simple, simple.

But it's your site...
