Oh my.
I went over to Big Jerry's salon, for the first time in a long time.
They have a "make a case for impeachment" forum now. I haven't checked it out yet, but it's going to be interesting, seeing what high crimes and misdemeanors George Bush has committed, like lying to a grand jury or something. I'll check it out later.
Anyway.
Fat Che, still desperate to get back onto Skins' island:

Want to see what makes DU admins wake up in a cold sweat?
Their traffic graph:
after which a graph showing traffic on Skins's island
I think this absolutely has to do with admin policy and the actions of bad mods.

Oh, I believe some of the mods are happy! I think some are shills put there to destroy DU as a political force. I need only point to Paddy and Cuban Liberal for examples. Current ones are far more subtle than they were.

Well, I miss the guys I thought they were before they outed themselves as deep-cover RW trolls! I was a DU Moderator when Padraig was a DU Moderator, and felt really ill-used when he was found out.
And I think we can all think of one or two DU moderators who are also probably deep-cover RW trolls right now, can't we, Ma'am?
HEY, "Padraig"

After which the neanderthalics speculate about trolls being moderators on Skins's island.
But it's mostly sour grapes by Fat Che, still upset that he violated the rules of Skins's island, and suffered the forewarned consequences of violating those rules.

The precipitous decline started about when they started banning a lot of good Democrats because mods they had had it "in" for them. People leave boards like this in groups, generally, and they managed to find people to ban who were in many different affinity groups.
But remember; DU is the place that deleted the posting I made prior to Katrina telling people to GET OUT of Nawlins because the dikes were NOT going to hold and that thousands would die, and that Nawlins was about to be destroyed, calling it "SCARE MONGERING"!!!!
Now, if you want to read that posting you have to go to Conservative Underground where they similarly criticized me for scare mongering!
You might be tempted to thing that CUers moderate DU, now, wouldn't you? Well, some DO.
SO, if you are still in DU, GET OUT! A flood of bullshit is coming!

And did even ONE of the mods or admins apologize for calling it "Scare Mongering"? NOPE. Not even in private. Not ONE.
That was when they really "lost" me. After that it was just a matter of how long it would take for them to ban me for criticizing the way DU does things.
And don't EVEN get me going on the threat Skinner sent me after Mongo and I proposed a group for Democrats with alternative sexuality and public policy issues that pertain to that. (This after a poll that determined that there are more kinky DUers than anybody imagined!)

The current meltdown is causing a traffic spike. I wonder what this graph will look like in October? I wonder if they will still register on Alexa?

The "current meltdown" was occurring in summer 2007; this is an old thread, but there isn't much traffic at Big Jerry's salon.....and alas! for Fat Che, Skins's island some months later is still registering on Alexa.

Well my 1st post here might as well be to you. I wondered why I haven't seen your name "over there" for a while and now I know. Hope all is well and good to see you again. I didn't know this forum existed until another good DUer got TS'ed today.

Wow, that traffic spike from the Train Wreck sure petered out to nothing. I think Bush's polls boosts from things like capturing Saddam actually lasted longer, didn't they? DU is actually less popular than George Bush!

The sad truth is that come 2009, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney will sail out of office and into the night without ever being held to account for their incompetence and deceit.
Also, you are not a Yale alumnus.

Really funny graphic on that thread: "The White Rose Society -- archiving the best of Progressive Radio."
That should be doable on a 5-1/4" floppy.
