Is it me or does DU seem smaller lately?
 
Seems like there are fewer posts, fewer recs and fewer replies to most posts the last couple of weeks.

5. ah ha!
 
I know that some prolific, good posters are gone. Probably contributes to the lack of interest

Actually, this has been concerning me for some time now.

After all, the fewer the primitives, the less inventory to stock the DUmpster.

Of current concern's the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive, who doesn't seem to have been around--unless I missed seeing her--since awardment of her Top DUmmiehood late last December.

Did she finally spontaneously combust in a frenzy of rage and Hate and anger, or what?

No, DUmbshit. It's much easier to hide in a crowd, especially a crowd of vapid, navel-gazing, Cheeto-sucking, thought-free proglodytes.

I don't think cali has ever broken into the Top 5 in DOTY voting, although her wallduding episode was far more entertaining than that of Doug Bulna.

Anyway it isn't surprising that Skins's island is shrinking.

It's because of that rising sea level from global warming.

She's been in the top ten however.

The bitter old Vermontese cali primitive's been one of the most reliable sources of comedy material for the DUmpster, and as someone charged with stocking the shelves here, for the amusement and illumination of decent and civilized people, I get concerned when a supplier stops supplying.

I wonder if she suddenly went berserk in a fit of anger and rage and Hate--something bound to happen sooner or later--and her brother and sisters had to put her away.

Actually Frank I think it is more a function of obumbles being in the white house. They have been eating their own. Now I bet if the GOP wins the white house in the next election, expect to see DU pick up new members. DU is pretty much based on hatred and nothing unites the Dump loonies like GOP control of congress and the white house.

13. I WOULD LOVE to see how many
 
people are members of DU or even on DU during the day..I wish there was some way that info could be apart of the Website. To see how many people have logged on.. would be interesting.

This sort of information on conservativecave is freely available to even primitive lurkers.

I'd consider it a good thing, knowing which primitives are logged on over there--just as primitives can see who's logged on here--because it'd save a lot of time and troubling running around looking to see if they're there, and making comments suitable for inventory in the DUmpster.

One wonders why Skins is so paranoid about it.

It started when Skins abdicated responsibility and gave up admin moderation for the jury system.
people began to realize they could punish old enemies by abusing the system.
   1) when people become afraid to speak on a public forum, they seek friendlier venues
   2) when people discover how to use juries to abuse the system (like the HOF feminazis did), they ban or drive posters away.

Good moderating = a good forum.
Bad moderating = a bad forum, and members have no loyalty
No moderating = chaos and bullying...who wants to stay in a forum like that?

The loss of hundreds, even thousands, of DUmmies would have very little effect on the entertainment value of Skins's island, as long as it's the faceless, useless unterprimitiven.

There has never been a time when the overwhelming majority of the wacky, funny, absurd, stupid posts didn't come from just a few dozen DUmmies.

The loss of even a few of these key lunatics can seriously degrade DUmp comedy.

Losing Pam, nadin, TiT, Deadstone, Amber, Taverner, Dennis the Menace, the Leviathan, and LocoNuts has been an awful blow to the DUmp.
 
Add to that the Bellevue Big Guy dying and cali disappearing, and the effect on DUmp entertainment is catastrophic.

As losses have occurred in the past, the democrat party has always provided us with replacement loonies to keep the show going.

Let's hope it can still deliver.

There is one reason the DUmp is fading.
When the queer brigade attempted a coup the one barely adult (skins) squashed it.
That wore him down as to how completely unruly and ungrateful the primitives are so David Allen devised the jury system and then leaned back and laughed knowing his hell spawn would destroy each other.
The klams rose to the challenge and via the leftist dogma they have learned bludgeoned all blasphemers into silence.
They were followed by the blacks,led by the old white hippies like sheshe and gay randy,they also sought to establish the island as their own.
What is left are moles  :naughty: and the beaten down,guilt laden mooks that don`t dare speak.

He was the one who was living off some chick; I don't remember her first screen-name, but after the break-up, she came back as "RisingPhoenix" or "PhoenixRising," or something like that.  It really busted her apart.

The sniffing primitive had dumped her for the "bi" BicentennialBaby primitive, who had pretty big jugs, but not as large as you-know-who's.

At that great age, I'm really surprised it hasn't occurred to her yet.

Was Sniffa the one who convinced his wife to bring a young babe? (well OK for a dummy anyway) into the marriage, than have all three of them posting as the younger one kicked the older one out.  All three were posting for a while how great it was, but then the man and the younger one starting ganging up on the older dummie wench?  I think one was bi-baby or bicentenial baby or something.  That was epic comedy.

Did anybody besides me notice last night, say circa 9:00 p.m. central time, 8:00 p.m. mountain time, the flurry of visitors to this thread?

At one point there were 20 of them, but for about an hour, there were always at least 10-12 of them.

Obviously, the primitives are compelled to come over here, to learn what's going on, on Skins's island.

As nadin's cousin surely you can persuade her to return where she rightfully belongs.

As nadin's cousin surely you can persuade her to return where she rightfully belongs.

Fat chance of that; she considers franksolich one of her "poor" relations.

I'm still irked that, a couple of months ago, Skippy, the NYC_SKP primitive, was given a chance to talk her into returning to Skins's island, but then didn't use it.

The evening before Skippy had to fly down to San Diego--all expenses borne by the taxpayers--he had a thread on Skins's island, begging nadin to return.

Okay then; so he was going to be down there in San Diego, in person, the next day, and had some spare time.

And whenever Skippy's flown somewhere, he usually doesn't miss an opportunity to hook up with his fellow primitives who live in that particular area.

So I figured that after Skippy had done all that he had to do, he'd go visit the cousin, take her out to lunch, and convince her to return to Skins's island.

Skippy did none of that; didn't even telephone her.
