What's going on in GD today?
I've seen half a dozen threads that I expected to be banished to the Lounge. Have things in the real world gotten so bad that we're all dropping back into silliness in self-defense? I guess having the US president signing a bill authorizing torture is so bizarre that if we don't get some laughs our heads will all explode.

1. Or it could be...
...that several new moderators started today and are still finding their feet. I'm sure things will be back to normal in a couple of days.

3. I think the paid trolls are starting to come out, to disrupt
discussion boards in advance of and during the campaigns/election. Expect to see DU completely clogged up with JUNK threads a la John Kleeb and his buddies from a couple years ago.

4. This thread got moved pretty fast.
It was a serious question, though.

6. Why did they banish this one to the Lounge?
:shrug:

I *SO* am not setting foot into General Disruption for the next three weeks.
