I just found a site called DW and they are saying awful things about DU.
What is that all about? Their administrator is trashing us,especially the people in the lounge, and he sounds like a major asshole. Wow, couldn't believe what I was reading.

44. I do remember seeing a thread from Skinner about something
but I didn't put the two together. Now it starts to make sense.

35. IBTL, but yeah I agree.
I spent some time over there, but given some recent events, I'd ask to have my membership deleted, but it'd probably only result in my IP and email being published.

42. The only thing I know of is that the admin got pissed off and
posted someone's IP and email adress in a public forum. There may be more to it, if so, I'd like to know as well

40. I wouldn't register there
There seem to be a few issues of them publishing private data.
I had d look at the page this morning (European time, about 3AM EST) and it looked like a rather uninspired, vBulletin based forum with a rather vile, DU based community. A really funny thing was the "guest" counter, as it stated about 150 active users. I don't think any American discussion board with such a limited audience has that many users only in the middle of the night. :tinfoilhat: Diebold-esuqe.

43. Don't Register There...
... even if you don't break the (ever changing) rules over there, you're still subject to BigJerr/CrazyGuggenheim's retribution just by speaking ill of that site over here.

You do know that CrazyGuggenheim and BigJerr are the same person, right?

51. Locking
I'm locking this thread right now.

Skinner, the administrator of THIS website, announced that DW is no longer to be discussed here. This is his thread:
