It's be nice if Skinner would at least put up a status/info page at that domain so people know what's going on with DI. (Though I had a different user name there I was a fairly frequent poster on DI.)

Hey Atilla, seeing you here is making this feel a little like home.
I was at DI. It was fun wasn't it.
Someone here told me not to out my DI name in case I get to use it again, so I'm incognito, but I'm one of the independents of which there were many.

I have been om DI since day #1... in fact I was the first member to get a 5 hide time-out.

Since then I've racked up about 25 socks.

It would be fun to assist them in the acceptance of  their new subordinate roles in the political venue, many of us are eager to help...

With DU fully up I can see no reason for DI not to also be up, save that the owners don't want it up. That's a damn shame, as it was a great venue for people with varied  political views to discuss their differences...

Agreed.  I participated some early on, but got bored.  Used this or a variation of my screen name here.  Was looking forward to exploring it again after the election.

Skinner (Naveed) is a gutless slime.  There was no hack.  They just couldn't bear the heat they were going to get when they lost the election.  It's now been almost 3 weeks and there is no reason they couldn't have brought the site back up other than the fact that they are cowardly ****ers and can't stand the heat.

And I'll be the first to tell them that if they bring the site back up.

Gutless assholes!

Yeah, at times it was. I'd be very surprised if they fire it up again. I doubt they want conservatives spiking the football over and over again on their own website. I tried JackpineWackos but that was a freak show so I told them so and they banned me forever.

I don't think DI will return. There were too many posters who did not revere hiLIARy, and they must not be allowed to gloat.

The gloating would put the nail in Grahamcrackers' coffin for sure.

At this point it looks to me like DI won't be coming back. We're three weeks out and DU has been fully restored for quite some time now.

I think if it did come back that many of the lefties would not be back after being so overconfident about Hillary trouncing Trump. There would be a whole ton of crow to eat which many of them wouldn't be up for. So I think in the end it would end up being a right-leaning site. I'm make no claims of being a mindreader but I think that may be Skin's reasoning for not bringing it back.

Post by: DUmpstruck on November 29, 2016, 12:06:58 PM
There would be no point in bringing back DI unless Naveed (aka Skinner, aka Mr. David Moskwa) gets rid of the jury alert system.
The alert swarms were bad enough before the election.

Although it would be nice to see a number of Hillary suckophants being force fed a truckload of crow. :-)

He was a long time DUmmy, got banned for being even too weird for them, I don't remember the offense, it doesn't take much.

I always figured the guy was brain damaged or retarded in some way.

Probably not, and it would be a shame,  but they're not quite right there at DU yet. I tried a function that would require membership and read "At this time new member accounts cannot be created. Please check back in a few days."

I had a good time there.  I actually want to find out if Graham made it past the 9th or if he is swinging from a RR bridge over a river somewhere.  I hope he cashed all those checks he must have gotten to spout all that Clinton

Sadly, it looks like DI is Kaputsville.

How ironic is it that you and I were actually discussing what should be done with the chronically mentally ill in this country the very moment both DU & DI were taken offline by Skins?

Oh well..

 :usflag:

Yeah - but their Democrats.. they like discussing differences when they are in power, and ultimately, their team has the final say. After this election, that's all gone, save for some state and local pols. So, all DI is going to do is give DUmmies bad feelings. Skins can't have that..

That case can certainly be made.  It is hard to imagine a sentient being being that ridiculous, but there is a preponderance of real-world evidence that that type of organism does indeed exist and in depressingly large numbers.  Look at the infants they are pumping out of the indoctrination centers?  California?

Just breathtaking stupidity.

I think it's just that that level of sheer obtuseness is difficult for us to imagine.

   The video does have Murdoch-chan written all over it but so does this one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9B7EsenfFE

   The meme-warriors on our side(the enemy doesn't have decent memes because they don't have much capacity for satire or irony) were denied our end-zone dance on the fields of DI and DU and that was because Skimmer is a coward.  He hacked himself.  He is probably spraying swastikas on the side of his house and calling for the press right now.  Screw him.

    Berners like myself were only looking for an outsider who was honest and when Bernie got cheated it made me rethink why I was even a dem since they hate people like me(white,male) so much.  Then Trump started wooing us by pointing out Bernie was right on trade but that he didn't have the stones or the know-how to get er done and that a God-Emperor could.    Already TPP is in flames and Ford, Carrier and even Apple are changing their tunes. 

    What a great time to be alive. Feels good man.
