of the extreme stuff. Things about Palin that you would think would have been thrown to the Lounge or locked were on the front or greatest page.

Hope I don't get in trouble for posting this, though my alerts have gone unanswered.

I was also pissed about how far downhill things went in the days before and after the VP selection. I begged them for a policy like they had at the end of the primaries - that we're supposed to support the nominees or go elsewhere. I got no response and others told me not to worry. It wasn't just about Joe-bashing either, there was mean stuff about multiple Dems, though he probably got the most hate. Which makes his current support on DU all the more surprising.

What has had the worst impact on DU's servers? Not primary debates, not the end of the primary contest, not the DNC convention, but everyone having to post their individual snark-thread on DU.

I'm in the middle of moving so I'm too busy for much on DU anyway, but it's a shame that any post about Obama and Biden (photos, video links, etc.) sink or you can't even post them because of the traffic glitches. I haven't been able to catch things live so it would be nice if I could find useful news and Biden links without so much hunting. At least this forum has still been reasonable.
