Title: I wish whoever took down Misfit Island would give it back

It's interfering with my schadenfreude!

God bless you all...What a beautiful morning.

I'm sure the wizards of smart are working on it. Give them 24 business hours.

As I recall, when CC went down they started a thread and got all mouthy about it as they were cheering. I suppose turn about is fair play.

Agreed.  This is very reminiscent of 2004.  The DUmp was damn near inaccessible for over 24 hours.

Really looking forward to the crying, whining, and repudiation of $kimmer and Hillary.  Her, for being a really flawed candidate.  Him for putting all his eggs in her basket of deplorables.

I was SO looking forward to watching the meltdown in real time. I'm disappointed I didn't get to see it.

That said, I'm really looking forward to seeing the meltdown the morning after. Betcha $kimmer has the site locked down for a few days once they get it back.

I'm going to savor every moment of teeth gnashing, the "weeping" and putting the blame everywhere except where it belongs.

Ok, let me see if I got this straight, everyone who bought a star got shut out too?  And no money back guarantee?  :rotf:

You know, Skins has got only himself to blame for all this; given that "something" seems to happen to Skins's island every election night, about once every two years, he should've remembered there was a good chance it'd happen this year too, and prepare for it.

I think the problem is that Skins underestimates the intelligence of his foes; he has contempt for them, thinking he's smarter than they are.

Far, far better to overestimate one's enemies; I for example think rather highly of the mental faculties of the primitives, and quite a bit less of my own.  And the record clearly shows who, in the end, outwits the other.

It's an old trick, playing dumb.....and the primitives always fall for it.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As for the culprit, my money's on Skippy, the banned NYC_SKP primitive.  He's always caused problems for Skins, and he's about the only one bright enough to do it.

It wouldn't be anybody from this side, because the life-blood of the DUmpster is material given by the primitives, and it would be suicidal to crash Skins's island.

And the techniques are different.  Skippy's a destroyer, a nihilist, while people on this side are builders, builders-up.

I give you the example of the big guy in Bellevue who, when he was lagging on setting up a good campaign web-site, was helped by people from this side, who built a professional-quality web-site for him.  Skippy would've, if inclined, torn him down; we built him up.

Whoever brought down Skins's island is a destroyer, not a builder-up.

The so-called 'attack' may have been perpetrated by Skins himself, to keep the misfits from tearing each other apart with blame and counterblame. He wants to keep his gravy team rolling down the track as long as possible.

We was robbed.

Agreed. This has Skinner written all over it.
Further I'm thinking DU will be down until Skin's last check from Hillary clears.

I didn't notice how many millions of results, but it's attracted the notice of a lot of message boards, including those for Corvettes, college football teams, Ron Paul, cooking and baking, pornography, deviance, &c., &c., &c.

Still down as of 2:45 AM CST.

God bless you all...What a beautiful morning.

I agree.. I've been watching them and the Jackass Radicals go at it on DU's Facebook page, but it's not really the same.  I want to see them in their safe space... I'm already seeing the threads:

1.  Thank you thread for HRC!
2.  At least a few threads wondering if Kaine was the right choice as a running mate, since he generated all the excitement of a dentist appointment.
3.  About 30 threads on voting irregularities.  Naturally they will only be in swing states and highly liberal areas.
4.  At least a dozen or so threads on how Trump, via Russia, somehow "hacked" the voting machines (again, only in swing states and in liberal areas)...

all of this because... There's just no way people could believe she wasn't the best choice!   It's gotta be something else.

I hope it's back up soon, before this all has a chance to wear off.

Personally.. I don't believe Skins island was hacked, and he intentionally took it down because as a Hillary insider, he knew internal polling showed Hillary was in serious trouble.  We may not see DU again.  Skinner knows if it comes back, he's going to have to answer for allowing his mods (and juries) to silence Bernie supporters, banning anyone who suggested she was a flawed candidate, etc.

I'm not that familiar with Discussionist, but if my understanding is correct, it was really an "open" forum, no safe spaces, etc.. thus why DU'ers hated it so much... so it may be back.. as they likely could care less if Skinner answers for what he did during this election season.

Yeah, but in 04, it wasn't hacked.. IIRC, it was just shut out to non-star members...

What's going on this time is a whole different level, as the site is available to nobody.

Mr Moskwa is caught between the stink and the shit he has spawned.
