Dump is down to non-starred members
« on: November 08, 2016, 03:46:37 PM »
 :panic:  Is Skins panicing already, They closed the DUmp to all but star members 2 1/2 hours before any polls close.  This seems early to me.

**********ANNOUNCEMENT FROM franksolich**********

My fellow alum Skins began shutting Skins's island off to all but registered members about 3:30 p.m. central time, as he said he would, and as he does every election day, excepting this time he's shut it down earlier than usual.

That probably means something.

Anyway, all members here with moles are encouraged to go over there and keep their eyes open.

It'd be nice if moles brought material back here too, but the priority should be simply to see what's happening, and if one's so inclined (all aren't) and the opportunity arises to cause some trouble over there, do it and tell us about it later.  We can wait to hear of it; the priority's to discombobulate the primitives.

If one doesn't have time for formatting a primitive thread, just with one swipe copy-and-paste the whole thing to a personal message to me, and then I'll format and post it.

Apparently Skins has shut down DU Jr., Discussionist, too.

Same thing, then; anything of interest for over here, but one doesn't have time to format it, just send it to me via personal message, and I'll format and post it.

Wow, that is early.  I was expecting around 6 or so.  There wasn't all that much of entertainment over there anyway.  Some DUmmie posted a thread asking, "Just for Tonite, can we please please not post a new thread for every random thought that crosses your mind?"   :lmao:  Good luck with that.

It was reported on DU Jr that the Dump was hacked. There was a Trump ad running on it for a while I guess.  DU Jr is now down as well as you stated.

Manny's site's still there; they just turned on that DDOS or whatever it is thing, causing a delay when one first goes there.

I know it probably means nothing but find it interesting that after a year of anti Trump propaganda Yahoos news page has nothing.
If exit polling had her doing well I can`t imagine them staying mum about it.
