Star Member mr_lebowski (16,226 posts)https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214415965What are we going to do if the site goes down tomorrow? What's the plan?Is it posted somewhere?We should at least have a forum on Reddit to all get together IMHO.If you think we went crazy in 2016 when we lost DU on election day, holy F*** a lot of us would lose our sanity ENTIRELY if we didn't have a place to talk to each other.Do we have a plan?

Star Member mr_lebowski (16,226 posts) 3. I actually don't know if I would, depending on how it goes ...There's no reason to NOT have a plan.There's other places we could meet and have a similar experience in the meanwhile.
Star Member TwilightZone (18,644 posts) 2. No offense, but how many of these threads do we need?https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214275326https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214414646https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214401164https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214410859

Star Member MineralMan (133,902 posts) 7. What I will do is go watch MSNBC until the site is back up.DU has a Facebook group and a Twitter account. You can check those if it goes down. However, don't expect a DU administrator to respond to your posts at either place. The site administrators will be trying to fix the issue and get the site back up.Typically, what happens on those alternate sites is that people swarm them and ask what's going on and why is the site down? There is no answer, because nobody knows why and the administrators are busy. So, no useful information appears for some time. Just panicky posts that answer no questions at all. When an administrator has time, he will post something on both sites to give a progress report. You can watch for such posts.But, you can also go watch election coverage on your TV. That's what I will do if DU goes down tomorrow.
Star Member moonscape (2,367 posts) 14. Trolls end up there, in addition to all the questionsabout the site being down, etc , making it tough to have any discussion. At least that’s how I remember it.
Star Member PJMcK (13,740 posts) 9. 2016 was traumatic in any number of waysTrump's election was chief among them.It was also distressing that DU was hacked. I missed our camaraderie during such dark days.Regardless, I went to other websites for news and information. After all, this is the internet!As MineralMan mentioned above, turn on your TV.
Star Member jcgoldie (6,343 posts) 17. **** it I made a redditCalled it DUbunker just in case. I don't really wanna be in charge of it at all. Its open to the public so could also devolve into a shitshow. Not planning to use it except in emergency because I don't want to detract from this place in any way.
Star Member Crunchy Frog (22,637 posts) 58. Yes, I do think that there should be a DU reddit group.In the event that DU gpes down, I do plan to hang out in a friendly reddit group.Would be a big improvement on what happened last time.
How long will they be shut down for?
24 business hours.
