One can only guess, but how many of the now-gone-away Bernie bullies does one suppose will come swimming, creeping, crawling, back to Skins's island once the dust settles?
They really got no choice, given that Skins's island is where it's at, the place to be, where the cool kids hang out. Once in a while, someone sets up a new message-board so as to attract discontented primitives, but inevitably these newer sites fail, as the primitives find they can't compete with Skins for traffic, for comments, for membership numbers, for cool kids.
Like Douglas MacArthur of old, the primitives will return.
But one hopes, properly chastised.
I suspect nearly all of them'll be back, and in in no time it'll be like old times again.
-
Nearly all of them that Skinner will allow to come back.
-
We can use the Paul Bot experience at TOS as a gauge. I am sure less than 1/2 returned.
JR and Skinner share a certain stubbornness when people cross a line clearly drawn (I know from personal experience on TOS and observations from last POTUS Cycle at the DUmp).

But I'm sure that Skins, being not only a reasonable person but also a compassionate one, probably will re-allow anyone provided the appropriate begging-and-pleading is done.
But there's a couple he shouldn't let back in no matter what.
I was worried for a while after Skippy, the NYC_SKP primitive, the founder of the Bernie bullies, was banned, because Skippy sent many begging-and-pleading messages to Skins, apologizing in the most abject manner, offering to make amends that would bankrupt even Midas, promising the world that he'd be good, if he'd be let back in.
I was truly afraid Skins was going to be bought.
Fortunately, Skins like franksolich, is virtually unbuyable.

I expect the girl scout cookies to be returned then

I'm going to guess 25%-35%, due to the degree of rancor. I just can't imagine such ideological ultra-purists swallowing enough pride to come grovelling back.

These are primitives, remember.
They want to be where it's at, where the cool kids hang out.

franksolich: yes. Skins: HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *breathe* *breathe* HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I said "about half." There will be some that will swallow their pride and kiss up. There will be a fair number that will say, "**** it," and leave. They will try to go somewhere else and start their own board . . . Until after the election. Then, with President Trump in the offing, they will come flooding back.

I agree with your wisdom. What ones have a smidgen of spine WILL be back to constantly complain about Trump, ala Bush.
But I don't look forward to their debasing themselves as they are not so much funny as they are stupid.

Has anybody considered the possibility that DUmmieland will COLLAPSE entirely because of exposure of Skinner as corrupt while the Jackals endure? The Brock-paid Hillary trolls will disappear after collecting their paychecks leaving Skinner with...nothing.

It's a win-win situation for the DUmpster.
If Skin's Island sinks into the ocean, then they primitives will all most likely convalesce at another site.
If Skins has a change of heart and offers more control to the remaining primitives, then the site will be even funnier.
If Skins doesn't have a change of heart, and continues, we get to laugh at TWO sites.
If the primitives all mostly return to the island, we can laugh at them as they crawl back to receive their beating for their insolence.

Good Point.
The Jackals have a pretty nice site. what reason to the Bernies really have for going back? I'm thinking Hillary may doom DU.

I've considered that, but considered any likelihood of that happening as pretty much improbable.
Skins has had a 15-year head start on any other primitive message boards, and long ago established Skins's island as the place to be, for primitives. Just about every "new" or "alternative" site for primitives, based upon opposition to Skins's island, has flopped. I can't think of a single one that hasn't.
I know many here yearn for the evaporation of Skins's island.....as if it means the primitives themselves will disappear. Alas, stupid selfish greedy people will always be with us; God must've loved them, as God made s-o-o-o-o-o-o many of them.
So all we can do is accept, adapt, and move on. And that's a lot easier if the primitives are congregated, segregated, isolated, into one single area of the internet, and we all have Skins to thank for giving them that.

I never knew he groveled like that. If he begs ski$$er some more and pledges to support Hillary all the way, he may have a shot if Bernie doesn't (please please do it) go third party.
I know Skip isn't happy with the jackass site, he has been a member there since December and has around eighty posts IIRC. That site is different from the old CU, CU was invaded by Paulbots but JPR was founded by Sanders' communist supporters. Jackass will die out and their posters will be back at the DUmp or the DUmp, Jr. - one reason I think ski$$er deliberately split the old DUmp membership when he formed it,
-

Much to my astonishment, some months ago on DU Jr. he even admitted to it.
I thought to myself, "my God, man, you couldn't keep this demeanment of yours a secret between you and Skins and one certain other person?"

90%
That is after the bern-outs have had their fill of alternative sites, they'll be back. They can't leave; it's like a drug to them.

Established human institutions tend to evolve and change, rather than go extinct. E.G., Jefferson's "Democratic Republicans" evolved into Jackson's somewhat populist Democrats, into the hardcore supporters of slavery of the 1850s, into the populist and racist Jim Crow racists of Wilson, into the pro-union quasi-socialists of FDR (with a strong Jim Crow wing), into the Truman-JFK anti-Communists, into the current tool of America-hating socialists, race-baiters, feminazis, religion-hating atheists, and hatred- and indulgence-driven gays and lesbians.
I think DU is likely to "suffer" some significant losses in the short term, but, in the course of partisan events, recover with new stalwart members. The uncertainty, IMO, is the relative proportions of old-timers and new blood and the recovery time. IMO, if Trump is elected POTUS, that time could be surprisingly short, and the number of Berniebot returnees fairly high. OTOH, if The CHILL is elected, that time will depend on the degree of internecine ill will and the effectiveness of Rs in obstructing her purposes.
JPR, OTOH, is not yet established, and not-DU "revolutionaries" are likely to be fractious rather than uniters. JPR is not likely to persist and become established unless it can: 1.) be solidified by some core of like-minded organizers; 2.) move beyond their current not-Hillary, Berniebot identity; 3.) develop/evolve some core of ideas/principles around which it can coalesce and move forward.

Well over half within a month. There is no way high post **** DUchebags go cold turkey of the insanity juice.
-
Nearly all but those who have been banned will return - groveling on their knees for mercy. They are incapable of nothing else. The Jackal forum will eventually wither and die, just like all of the DU spinoffs before it.

yep, agree and I don't believe nadin here, either:

24. I know my dear the FBI is RW, and so is the State Department
they are part of the VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY that has been trying to being the Clintons down for decades, and so is Secretary John, Kerry, and his boss, President Barack Obama.
If you cannot see how ridiculous you read, well that is that lack of self awareness that is also part of the problem. But for the moment she will be YOUR PARTY NoMINEE... are you going to start to reach out, or continue to harass, belittle and make sure people do not vote for your candidate. You should look into the theory of leadership,
That said, on the 16 you can have the website all for yourself, Those investigations are NOT STOPING. But just as I was informed that I am a Republican, not a member of the press, not born abroad, did not get my degrees, not am I a PoC... you need to quickly inform the State Department that the Secretary is a Republican, has been all his life, never went to Vietnam either, or served in the Navy I suppose, and tell the President he is a life time Republican. While you are at it please inform the DOJ the AG is a Republican.
And here is where I am reminded of 2002, the AOL boards and actual Republicans.
:rotf:
She'll come waddling back:

In 2008, when pledged delegates plus declared superdelegates gave the jug-eared muslim a count high enough for the nomination, the Hildebeast suspended her campaign and endorsed the muslim (based on his secret promise to nominate her as Secretary of State), stabbing a big faction of DUmmies in the bqck. Skimmer was an Obama man, increasing the uproar.
Enraged Hildebeast supporters vowed to leave the DUmp en masse and take their talents to Crazy Andrea's place, Old Elm Tree.
OET turned out to be a crypt, a mausoleum, where a red hot thread might get two comments a day.
Starved for attention, the Hildebeanies came crawling back to Skimmer en masse, and OET died.
Same thing will happen with the Jackpine place a few weeks from now.

I'll be truly disappointed, though, if Skins doesn't make them crawl back.
And as a bonus, he should require them to use Hillary avatars until after the election.
And they'll do it too; they want to hang around with the cool kids, and if that's what they have to do to get back on Skins's island, where it's at, they'll do it.

On the contrary, he should force them all to have Bernie avatars sort of like a scarlet letter. :-)

Probably about half. A lot ass kissers there.
