DU is at level 2!! (Sirens wail in the background)

Some forum features are currently unavailable (Level 2) (Jan 28th 2008)

      You may have noticed that some features of Democratic Underground are currently not working. This is intentional and a result of the website experiencing an unusually high level of traffic currently.

      Democratic Underground has dozens of features that we've programmed into our software over the years that, while important, are considered extras because they are not required for DU to run smoothly. We are very proud of all these extra features we provide to our members, but when our servers get backed up with heavy traffic we have to make difficult decisions and progressively turn off certain extra features to reduce the stress on our servers. The alternative is a DU that is very difficult at best to navigate due to overwhelmed servers slowing everything down.

      These features will only remain turned off temporarily until our traffic dies back down to a normal level. Currently, we are on Level 2. The features that are turned off at Level 2 are the following:

      * Advanced search
      * Hide thread feature
      * Signature lines
      * Avatars
      * RSS/XML feed for Latest Breaking News
      * Forum hiding on the Latest page
      * Expanded threads mode
      * Ignoring new threads by author

      Again, we apologize for having to do this, but it is necessary and much better than the alternative.

      Thank you for your understanding and patience,
      The DU Administrators

This news just in:

George W. Bush has returned to the White House to enjoy being the President of the United States, the most powerful man in the world.  President Bush has not issued a statement about what he thinks concerning the opinions being expressed on the comical website DemocratUnderground.c0m. 

The President is not offering a statement because he does not know DemocratUndergound.c0m exists.   :rotf:
