Good Bye Everybody...

So... There is that incredibly small chance that when Net Neutrality gets overturned I won't be able to use the website anymore. There is no way that anybody will pay extra for certain websites on top of their default internet bills. I did my research, and the FCC has nothing stopping them besides the american people. The worst part, nobody is listening to us (seemingly). The president and the supreme court already passed it, so the FCC will hold it's official vote today at 10:30 ET , ironically on a livestream. If net neutrality gets repealed and the effects are as bad as we know it will be, No more Planex. SimplePlanes will die, The internet will die.

Wanna hear something funny? The supreme court is calling the internet a Utility instead of a luxury (which it actually is a utility). However, the net neutrality repeal will make it a luxury to fill the big guy's pockets even more, thus allowing monopolies to take over the internet. Comcast and Time-Warner will re-try a merger, and succeed this time. RIP. Good day and good bye everyone.

If none of this happens, I will make a Christmas build. Needs Ideas that are not experimental or fighter jets.

Edit: It was repealed. Expect drastic changes in coming months.

Edit 2: Congress is prepared to sue the FCC and overturn the repeal! :D :D :D WE ARE SAVED!

    Let me explain something:
    Even though Net Neutrality is repealed and Internet service providers (ISPs) can speed up, slow down, block, and charge extra for certain sites, it's bad business to do so. As soon as customers notice say, Sprint, slowed down Facebook and made you pay extra to speed it back up, users will drop Sprint and switch to another ISP. Even though they can legally mess with people's Internet, they won't do it for the sake of keeping their customers.

    I'm not so sure it was a bomb threat. They only moved them out into the hall. A bomb threat would have taken them out of the building.
    That has bothered me. What would clear a room, but not the building???
    I don't care if they come out saying it was a bomb threat, their actions say otherwise.

    I am pretty sure I will not be affected by this, since I live in New Zealand.

    But if it means the death of the SP website or the game itself..... KILL THEM ALL.

    I guess the US will have a few million civilians that will move to another country in the next few months.
