[bananas]

Is there something going on that I'm missing?

[cspanlovr]

1. We have levels?

[femmocrat]

2. How do you know?

around this time every night.

why we're at Level 2 :spank:

of idiots.

9. Because Homeland Security is trying to get our names and e-mail addresses

. . . through a new program developed by Microsoft.

The admins had to add a couple of logs to the firewall.

10. I don't know but it really is bad because

I have to see the rape and murder and child rape and murder thread titles. The titles are enough sometimes that I can't stay here. NO thread ignore is hard.

:hug:

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. How does a person know if were at a level

or what level it is? And what are the levels?

I don't have a clue. I've looked around and don't see any info about it.

[Catchawave]

21. Usually at the top of the GD page?

Which it is not right now. Sorry, guess I wasn't much help :hi:

[sammythecat]

23. Thanks anyway. At least I know now there's more than a couple

of us around here that don't know what everyone else is talking about. Or how they found out.

22. On the "Latest Threads" page

here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=latest_threads
on the right column above "Latest Videos" are announcements,
this one is higlighted in red:
"Some forum features are currently unavailable (Level 2) (May-02-07)"

24. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I thought I'd looked everywhere and probably looked right at it and never recognized it. It took 5 years, but now, thanks to you, I finally know.

17. It's a diversionary tactic

to conceal the implementation of Project X! :spank:

Blue Goose to Mother Hubbard, the egg has hatched! :tinfoilhat:

19. Agent Mike is on the job...

He's having a hard time keeping up with the posts and he's slowing down the server.
