If you happen to see or know of any others, please just suggest them. I am scraping all of the pages that are "black" and will publish as difintive of an archive of them all once the blackout has finished.

I didn't see craigslist.org on a quick look through.

edit: fark.com has also gone white to sarcastically "support" SOPA/PIPA

Slickdeals.net has an anti-SOPA popup on page load and they censored their logo as well.

Book publishers O'Reilly (oreilly.com) and Pragmatic Programmers (pragprog.com) are both black. Guess I'll be buying more from them. They're willing to lose sales in order to protect the internet.

I'm a little disappointed that I don't see Amazon doing anything about it. They clearly would have much to lose from SOPA/PIPA too.

osnews.com

edit: bitbucket.org (blacked out logo)

Arstechnica.com has a modified site design and focus on SOPA. Not really blacked out, but definitely calling attention to the topic.

With so many big name sites on the list, it seems absurd that Facebook is doing absolutely nothing with their site.

Those "Facebook is run by the CIA" rumours seem a little more credible.

Or any of Microsoft's online properties.

Yeah, has Zuckerberg said anything about it? They really dropped the ball.

Facebook No. Google+ No. Yahoo No. Twitter No. Youtube No.

Youtube and Google+ are owned by google, so I'm not sure if they count. Definitely they should post a notice or two, but...
smackfu
If you went directly to each site, there was no indication of a SOPA protest. The Google+ version of the logo wasn't even blacked out.

Was mentioned elsewhere on HN, but dailyWTF is also whiting themselves out.

A lot of webcomics coordinated with each other and are posting a red-background "CONTENT BLOCKED BY SOPA/PIPA" with a more or less personalised message about how it affects them. E.g.

http://www.shortpacked.com/ http://www.somethingpositive.net/ http://www.questionablecontent.net/ http://www.girlswithslingshots.com/ http://www.unshelved.com/ http://notinventedhe.re/

XKCD is also protesting, though not coordinated with the above sites (and already listed in the OP)

A more interesting roundup I'm waiting for: how many calls did the representatives get, how many emails, how many senators expressed concerns about SOPA/PIPA, how many have voiced their support again, and so on.

I'm pretty shocked there was nothing on youtube.com itself. You'd think that would be the biggest target of all for SOPA.

You missed one of my favorite porn sites.

Dear Downvoting Moralist: The porn industry has done more for freedom of expression and upholding of due process than you have. The site I mentioned has/had a blackout message, and therefore qualifies for the list. My comment was purely factual.

Also missed: http://2600.com

I think the most impressive are the publishers and the webcomic artists. Having actual content creators and distributors opposing the acts gives much more authority to the entire blackout.
