Why $kimmer shut down Discussionist - My opinion

He thought liberals would dominate the day and run off the conservatives.

It didn't quite work out that way.
Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Can't argue with that.

Let's see what the primitives have to say about it. I'll go with "Good! It had become a cesspool anyway!" without ever acknowledging that they were the $%#& in the sewer.

We provoked an existential crisis. They couldn't fabricate enough nonsense to drown us, nor could they power politic us off the board with alert swarms.

The strategic error was when Skinner barred all new enrollments. That's when the power politics really took off. Both sides resorted to alert swarms, but the real deciders on the juries were predominantly fair-minded. Being short on facts, the left would resort to emotion more frequently. That tipped the scales against the left. From there, it was all downhill. Not being able to re-enroll put an end the left.

And then there were posters like Mrs. Corpulent, who couldn't bear the thought of having his 2016 predictions and puffery rubbed in his face. He quite despite having an active account. He wasn't the only one to do so, and their absence further undermined the game of raw numbers.

We had facts and righteous indignation on our side. We were destined to win.

I absolutely agree. Once the liberals left or quit posting for one reason or another, it was downhill (for them).

For the record, I think Swifty was a troll. NO ONE could be that dense and come up with the most ridiculous stuff to blame on Trump and conservatives in general. I don't believe they (be they male or female) actually believed the nonsense they put up.

I agree with the idea that Skinner initially thought some of his DUmmies and some other lefties would pwn conservatives but it didn't quite work out that way.

After the Trump win and DU hack, many of the lefties didn't come back for their serving of crow. 

Not really administered after that. I'm surprised he kept it around as long as he did. Not a ton of users so probably not generating much revenue and, as usual, lefties had trouble backing up their fee-fees with facts and logic.

It's convenient that blue already had Hide5 set up.

There never was a hack. $kimmer knew the wailing and gnashing of teeth that would occur and he didn't want the secret service visiting, but it would have been really fun to watch.

Knowing Skins as well as some of us do, that's probably what really happened.

It was remarkable that Skins' island sank right after the Clinton campaign had publicly announced the fireworks display had been cancelled.  If memory serves me correctly both events happened within minutes of each other, the announcement about the fireworks first.

The cancellation of the fireworks display told me Hitlary Von Pantsuit KNEW she was going to lose. She shoulda listened to Bill and campaigned more in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania but she was the smartest woman in the room.

JMHO but I think that the DU hack was real.  Mostly because of the video that was put up in its place.  As we well know lefty can't meme and that video was pretty funny.

The amount of time it took Skinner to get it back up was mighty suspicious though. It wouldn't surprise me if Skinner took so long in order to keep The Secret Service away.

Obviously they are cancelling any debate. No presence of non-BLM-cuck-sucking individuals are allowed to say anything anymore. This is happening across the Internet.

By the way, if you need anything off of Archive.org, get it fast. Buy a lot of terrabyte drives and start saving everything you need. I'm going to start archiving my emails now. Gmail will disappear soon as well, or at least by election day.
