K&R if you would like to be able to "unrecommend" threads.

This discussion thread was locked by Stinky The Clown (a host of the Soapbox forum) on Tue Dec 6, 2011, 07:17 PM. It was locked for the following reason:

    This discussion thread violates the Statement of Purpose for the Soapbox forum. (Statement of Purpose: Share your thoughts on politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.)

It is closed to new replies. The only person who can unlock this thread is the host who locked it. The author of this post may petition Stinky The Clown directly to appeal the lock.

Wonder what that's about.

'Statement of Purpose' sounds so much nicer than "rules".  O-)

I already said it, but I'll say it again.

This is not going to end well.

There'll be a whole slew of rules-changes by one month from now, early January.

Reading through various threads on the island one person was bitching that when they edit a post the edited out portion shows for all to see.

Tell me skins didn`t do that to shame some of the craziest of the crazy.

4. I am considering recommending every thread I read, except for ones that I would unrecommend.

So neutral is now negative and positive is neutral. Where you use to unrec a thread, you will now do nothing and where you use to do nothing, you're going to rec.

This is too convoluted for the average DUmmy to comprehend. :mental:

I think we are witnessing the beginning of the end of Skin's Island until they do the 20 year reunion show with the Harlem Globe Trotters.

The problem is, the sparkling husband dude thinks his "responsibilities" make him a generalissimo.

That's a common problem with Democrats, liberals, and primitives when given power.

I kindly suggest--although the sparkling husband dude's not going to listen to franksolich--that the sparkling husband dude consider himself a servant of the people, not a boss of the people.  I know that's what's worked for franksolich as a moderator lo, all these years.

The great thing about Skinner's new Self-Policing policy on DUmp3 is going to be all the self-loathing DUmp denizens that get the barred door at their thread from some nickel dictator crying to Skinner for "just us".

And Skinner turning his back on them saying "After ten years, I would have thought you all were grown up.

Skirmishes and chaos in every nook, cranny and crack at the DUmp3 coming soon.

It'll be interesting, in the aftermath of a DUmp implosion, to see how Skimmer lays the blame on the enigmatic Elad.

If DU3 goes well, Elad is finished. If DU is a catastrophe, Elad is finished.

The enigmatic, elusive one had better be scouring the help wanted ads.

He's already missed that big hiring binge at McDonald's.

On the plus side - It will be great entertainment watching them tear each other apart over the next couple of months.

Until the Skins and his lieutenants decide to assert some more positive and mature controls on the inmates.

Wonder what that's about.

Stinky has a long and unpleasant history of unrecs, and hissy fits about them, on DU2.  He therefore don't like them unrecs.

I'm looking forward to hearinig Skimmer announce that the elusive, enigmatic Elad has decided to spend more time with his family.

Here's what gets me.

The old DU was perfectly fine; why the changes?

Why bother "improving" something that doesn't need improved?

I suspect that by Christmas, Skins is going to wish he'd left well enough alone.

They haven't changed the software in 10 years, some DUmmies were getting suspicious about all the fund drives, so he will give them this, then return to the old after they whine and cry loud enough.

What a mess!  If I were Skimmer, I'd turn the lock, walk away, and just go on vacation; enjoy his new addition to the family, and let the pot simmer and cook.  In fact I really wish he would do that.  Talk about an anthropological study environment!  They've got a great big heap of generalissimos.  I wish this was a live action movie, with weapons.   :popcorn:

I am guessing skins is getting ready to cash out the enterprise.  Wonder who the new owners will be?  How much will they be willing to pay?

Will Elad go with the deal?

They *still* haven't really changed the software all that much from all appearances.

Worth 7 million. That will buy a lot of magic beans.

There can be no reason other than generating more income for Skimmer.

1. Save money by laying off the enigmatic Elad.

2. Create a format with more space for advertising.

Yup. And with the new pay system you can show a steady income stream to the new owner. :-)
