Title: An open message to Skinner
Post by: Mr Mannn on November 09, 2016, 12:05:34 PM
Look. you have a political website. Your people need to vent...LET THEM.
sure they may come after you. Take your lumps with grace, your bias earned them.

It will all be over in a day or two, and things will go back to normal. Remember there is now a new enemy to rant after: Trump. You will be forgotten. Hopefully.

keeping things shut down will just force another Jackass rebellion, I really do not want to rename this forum.

SO MAN UP AND TURN DU AND DI BACK ON! Thank you.

UPDATE 11/9/2016 1:00PM ET

We have now come to believe it is possible that the hacker may have been able to gain access to certain member information on our server, including: Usernames, email addresses, and IP addresses. Passwords were not as easily accessible, and at this point we do not know if it was possible for the hacker to access them. (Further note that passwords on DU are "hashed" and saved in a cryptographically scrambled format rather than as plain text, so if the hacker could access a member's password information they would not have direct access to the password itself -- only to the hash.)

We can say for certain that donor data, such as credit card numbers or addresses, were not compromised because that information is handled by PayPal and never passes through to our servers.

We are not going to bring our website back online until we believe that we are no longer vulnerable to attack and our members' user information is secure. Unfortunately we do not know how long this process will take, and it could possibly take days.

We will be posting updates on Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Skins knows if he brings it back up he likely will be contacted by the Secret Service within hours.

I checked the Facebook and Twitter page.  I think they've all committed suicide, thus no posts.

     I suspect that once the DUmp comes back, several hundred of its monkeys won't return.

Someone got them good.  That or it's all a ruse, but I can't see him missing out on clicks on the busiest night of the last 4 years.  DU sucks, has for a long time.
I haven't registered to post on Discussionist, but I read it all the time.  I couldn't wait to get on there last night.
I don't think anything will happen with Discussionist until DU is fixed and by then it won't be such a hot topic.  Skinner knows he ****ed up, he knows he threw his members and supporters under the bus..  Too bad some will stay and keep giving them money.

I guess we need to change this:
