You can see the flatlining better on the chart graphic.    I'm assuming the past 7 days was when the New Rules went into effect?  The drop off tells the story.

well, Id say that there is some small drop in traffic because of the chage of rules and mass tombstoning - however, the is a natural ebb and flow of internet traffic, and a lot of it drops off in the summer.

How do you suppose it will happen?

gunshot to the head....(probably not, but hey)
"down the road not across the street"....
"found swinging in the closet"....
"Kool-ade party"  (a la Jim Jones)....

I wonder how many we could encourage to do this before Nov 2nd....

Some of the reviews from the OP's link.....

Quote
1 StarHate site Legacy Review
If you're looking for a hate filled site for liberals this is your site. It has posting about how glad they were Michael Kelly died. Want a site that likes "We Support Our Troops When They Shoot Their Officers" then this is the one for you. If you are not already consumed with hate, you might want to pass. No discent allowed. And you'll need to use the "F-word" every other sentence or so, or they will call you a "Freeper" and ban you.

Quote
1 StarWhoa. Legacy Review
I consider myself a pretty open-minded liberal guy, but these people throw the term "liberal" on their head. Even the most mild disagreement with the far leftist will get you banned. If you are an anti-capitalist type that thinks free checks courtesy of the U.S. government is a birthright, this site is for you.

Quote
Mental Ward Legacy Review
DU'h is a great site to visit if you are researching mental disorders. The posters are so out of touch with the real word that it's both funny and pathetic.

Quote
1 StarToo much bannin goin on Legacy Review
I am a member there, and nothing makes me sicker than the Fascist "mods" (moderate my big hairy butt), who ban anyone with a different opinion. I swear, fully 1/2 of all the threads I click on, have replys yanked by the Skinner's brownshirt brigade.

1 StarSo that's what happened to all the losers from your high school.... Legacy Review
Ever wonder what happened to all the losers from your high school? Never fear, they have been collected from all around the country into one website. The site is a huge collection of people mad that life has passed them by. Or that they didn't get their way. Seriously, a bunch of unemployed losers constantly posting angry little barbs about the evil republicians having costed them jobs. Or their unemployment benefits. You'll want to take a bath after being on this site for 5 mins. Many of the posters ranting would qualify as a diagnosis for mental illness. If they weren't so hostile to people that work for a living, you'd feel sorry for them....

Ain't this the truth?
I read an article the other day that described these people as hard core lazies who believe the government owes them reparations for not being born with silver spoons in their mouths. Perfect description IMO.

I think it'll be just the opposite...a resurgent GOP will give them something they can all safely hate together (And blame for Obama's continued failure, especially if the GOP wins either house), and they will spring back.  Right now they are hamstrung by the prohibition on being hateful to Democrats, but the Democrats have both Congress and the Executive locked up, so they are stuck with the conundrum of hating Obama's failure, but not being able to even talk about it or find any remotely-credible way to blame it on the GOP.

Two things, DAT. 

1)  Obama will still continue to throw the country into the toilet, by executive order.  Can't get something done because of the Republicans controlling one (or both, more likely) houses of Congress, and the pursestrings?  Easy--he'll bypass them by issuing an Executive Order.  Getting the money to do it is totally another proposition, unless he keeps the printing presses going.

2)  Obama, and the Dems, are blaming the Republicans now.  It's getting them nowhere, except that the public is realizing just what a monumental ****-up it was to have both the Legislative and Executive branches in the hands of the Dems.

To a rational mind, your argument would be sound, BSS, but I am talking about the way the DUmmies really think here.

You have a point.  Yes, the DUmb****s think that way, but the rest of the country (hopefully) doesn't.

He's talking about an executive order giving illegals blanket amnesty! If that happens, it will turn this country on it's ear!

Hell, his Secretary of Labor has already told them to call in order to get better wages! The SEIU is chompin' at the bit to bring them under their wing in the union!

Bummer doesn't realize he's going to push too far one of these days!

You mean their new rules aren't increasing traffic? But they claim government over-regulation will actually increase business and boost the economy. Why doesn't it work with their website?

And yet there is a large contingent of DUmmy's who were TS'd at the Old Elm Tree.

Hypocrisy. Thy name is sour grapes.
