Due to massively high traffic, the forums are currently donor-only.

[Skinner]

This is the busiest DU has been since the 2004 elections. We did everything we could to stay open, but unfortunately our servers just couldn't keep up.

I apologize for the inconvenience. Hopefully the traffic will subside shortly, and we can re-open the site to non-donors. Thank you for your understanding.

[Maeve]

8. Thanks for the heads-up, Boss

And for all you and the others do to give us an island here in the sea of stupidity.

Right now, I don't like my fellow Amuricans very much....

[stevedeshazer]

24. Tomorrow's another day

Keep it up. Never give up.

We lost a battle today.

The fight against Bush goes on. :toast:

[ContraBass Black]

25. Let's go lick our wounds, and then decide what we're going to do.

I'm logging off to make room for people who still have words. Thanks again to whoever gave me my star.

[xiamiam]

26. how do we know how many are on the site?.nt

[papau]

27. You did a great job Skinner - and if others feel like I do - like needing

nap - your traffic should die down a bit shortly.

Wish we could be congratulating each other - but today it was not to be.

:toast:

[CottonBear]

28. Thanks Skinner. Can DU stay donor only for a while?

I just want to be alone with the other DU donors. :(

[catmandu57]

31. Yeah for about a week

At least until wednesday.

[xmas74]

30. It's ok.

I have a few RL friends who have not donated yet but plan on doing so when taxes come back. They've said that they understand why this had to be done today and will be back to post when they can.

[Zan_of_Texas]

32. Well, I was tallying the votes as they were read.

In my post, real time.

Then, DU shut me out.

They consider me a non-donor.

I sent a money order to DU in December, but Skinner reported in January it had not been found.

I sent my money. It never arrived. I got shut out.


Sort of been that kinda day.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

33. Skinner... I believe you have My Posts.

[applegrove]

34. Good job skinner. Level 6? Never heard of it. Do the non-donors

get to lurk?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

35. That's the only thing they can do anyway, so I guess the answer is no. -nt

[applegrove]

38. Non-donors can post. They just cannot search.

[Strawman]

36. It was a perfect, timely reminder to donate again

Thought I was still a donor. Didn't notice that I had lost my star until I was locked out.

[Blue_Tires]

37. glad i donated!
