Will Jogging be suspended from Tumblr for hosting ASSEMBLY's voting process?

After JstChillin.org was deleted by their server yesterday for hosting ASSEMBLY, the project was moved to http://thejogging.tumblr.com Friday October 22, 2010. That day, an e-mail was sent to Jogging by Tumblr Community Director Marc LaFountain. It said the following:

We would like you to decide what actions Jogging should take in response to this ultimatum. Voting will end 4:30 EST Monday October 25 2010. If you cannot view the ballot below please open the URL outside of your reader.

If you would like to submit other actions to be included in this poll, please submit them using this anonymous e-mailing service.

In the mean time, Jogging has offered this response to Tumblr:

ASSEMBLY

1. Assembly mobilizes the combined efforts of digital peers to critique an institution/individual/network’s website through the oppositional use of bandwidth squatting. For 13 days, participants vote to decide what institution/individual/network’s website will be the subject of this act. On the 14th day of Assembly– November 1st – Jstchillin.org will be replaced by a single page that features 25 iFrames constantly reloading the democratically decided website of political opposition. To drain the maximum amount of bandwidth or potentially freeze the website to a standstill, on November 1st we encourage you to open as many tabs of Jstchillin.org as possible and leave them open all day. In doing so, participants may group together to temporarily remove this website’s existence on the internet, putting a halt to its undesired effects on our community and the world at large. Bandwidth squatting is a method of protest, a tool historically linked with the Civil Rights Movement’s sit ins of the 1960’s. Through their undesired mass presence, protesters are able to disrupt the informational function of the website they are intervening on– a detournement of digital visitation.

1. Assembly mobilizes the combined efforts of digital peers in tributary celebration of an institution/individual/network’s website through a symbolicly supportive digital mass pilgrimage. For 13 days, participants vote to decide what institution/individual/network’s website will be the subject of this act. On the 14th day of Assembly– November 1– Jstchillin.org will be replaced by a single page that features 25 iFrames constantly reloading the democratically decided website of tributary celebration. To maximize the symbolic support for the decided website, on November 1st we encourage you to open as many tabs of Jstchillin.org as possible and leave them open all day. In doing so, participants may group together to create an honorific swell of attention, a mass of support for the legacy of the website’s effects on our community and the world at large. Digital mass pilgrimage is a method of praise that makes use of the fact that there is no such thing as negative attention online. Through bringing the website to a halt, tributary participants pose the undesired possibility of a world without the website– an eye-opening and appreciation-building event not unlike guardian angel Clarence Odbody’s intervention into George Bailey’s state of affairs in the movie It’s a Wonderful Life.

TO SUGGEST A CANDIDATE, SEND AN ANONYMOUS E-MAIL TO [email protected] USING THIS SERVICE.

ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

YOUR SUBMISSION WILL BE INCLUDED ON THE POLL IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS AFTER IT’S RECEIVED.

Why JstChillin.org was deleted

Yesterday JstChillin.org was deleted because its server, DreamHost, considered the website to be a front for illegal activity based on a text description of the project ASSEMBLY.

Jogging will act as the temporary site of ASSEMBLY until JstChillin is able to find a new server.
