Downtime Thursday afternoon 

Democratic Underground will be temporarily unavailable Thursday afternoon (July 16) while our ISP performs upgrades and maintenance to our network hardware. This work will help maintain the long-term reliability of our servers and network hardware.

The work will begin around 2pm EDT (11am PDT). Downtime is anticipated to be anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. During this time, you may have sporadic access to the site, or no access at all.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding!

As usual, as if central time and mountain time don't exist, as if Washington, D.C., and California are right next door to each other.

7. I think certain DU cliques are going to benefit from this "downtime".

One wonders what's up with that, the above comment.

Obviously that last guy thinks there is a coup on the offering at DU...

The last Primitive quoted, Mrs. Underoos, sees Obie haters everywhere.  She hates the new Unrec feature because she's certain it will keep the vapid Obie love fest photo threads off their lame Greatest page, which it hasn't.  She and a couple of others are convinced that only PUMAs use Unrec.

I wonder why the other Brian can't get a real job in IT?  He gets no respect from your fellow alum or Lord Marblehead.
