The new DU. Hygenically sealed and peanut safe area that you always wanted.
Saw the new DU. Looks great. Since I am not a programmer on the intertubes and have no idea about the mechanics, works great for me. But the setup in the presentation of ideas, the way that ideas and points that people want to make, in this way it seems it's been hygenically sanitized and broken up into parts. It seems to me that the groundrules, policies, exceptions, where to post, what to post, what is not allowed...this is not good.
This is a perfect improvement in the site to shut the liberal/left/crazy types that do not play well. Just in time for the election year.
You said it.

45. Israel/Palestine has always been AIPAC protection zone --
And presumably Skinner doesn't want to hear about any more "steenkin' pedophile
priests" -- ??? A win for the Vatican there!
Guns -- looks like the "gun control side has be3en winning" and this provides some
help for the gun nuts?
Maybe CIA won't even exist on the new DU3?
IT'S SO HELPFUL WHEN SOMEONE ELSE MAKES UP YOUR MIND FOR YOU WHAT TO TALK ABOUT ....
ISN'T IT ???
defendandprotect kicks off DOTY 2012 campaign while the voting is still going on for this years top primitive.

41. Ah, religion and politics are not to be discussed in polite society -- ???? ROFL
Organized patriarchal religion is the heart of male-supremacy -- !!
And, on DU it's another taboo subject? ROFL
What does this signal -- a website built on control of free speech -- ?? ROFL

64. 9/11 complaint is based on LACK of separation of subjects ....
which has nothing to do with the title change --
There has to be some change in that forum to permit new articles to be shown, but
then to break down to some degree the various LARGE conspiracies --
DU trying to protect itself from any ridicule which may be associated with a conspiracy
forum suggests a "conspiracy free America" -- ROFL

36. "Creative Speculations" is the new title -- !! Actually, prefer "CONSPIRACIES" ....
New title seems another way to try to separate DU from ridicule --
Rather it makes DU look like it has no idea what's going on!!
Guess defendandprotect didn`t like the "crazy" part.

39. Possibly related to jury blacklisting?
Seems that way.

43. Jury blacklisting?
The term sounds very McCarthyish; hope the process isn't.
Could you explain it more or point to where more info is if you noticed it in some subcategory or another?

44. You can choose up to 15 people you do not believe should be on your jury...
...for a post that is alerted on.
I think it's useful for compulsive stalkers who will recognize your post and then decide to vote against you.

48. Oh, so they would be people you "avoid" having on your "jury"
But if you're picking them to avoid being placed on your jury, then why would they be listed as avoiding you?

51. You'd be on their black list.
They're avoiding you.
I'm saying you have the option to avoid people; presumably those people on that list would be those who used that option with regards to you.

59. So people you don't want to be on your jury would see you've made that choice
and we'll all have little lists of people who presumably have some issue with us.
Oh my, that could get interesting.
You aren`t kidding,this is going to be delicious. :hyper:

57. I find the jury concept for DU nauseating.
Imagine if I'm selected to judge one of your posts; your name won't be visible but you have a very unique and identifiable posting style that will make quite evident who you are. Do you trust ME to be fair with your post knowing how we go back and forth all the time? Of course you would not, and I wouldn't blame you one bit. Would I trust you or one of your woowoo compatriots to be fair with my posts? Of course I wouldn't!!
One of the guys locking shit willy-nilly over on the Soapbox (GAWDS but that's a stupid name -- 1995 called and they want their forum name back) is easily one of the nastiest and most insulting posters on the board. He spends all day bitching in ATA about other people while being a dick himself. Nobody in his or her right mind would EVER allow that poster to be a mod but there he is merrily "hosting" away. Absurd.

68. It will degenerate into Animal Farmish power plays
within days of start up. It looks to me like the administrators no longer want to set the rules and moderate according to those rules. Hence, the inmates will now run the asylum.

This is better then Fitzmas.

How do you tell if a DU3 thread is locked? They all look the same on the main forum page.
nm, I see it.

DefendandProtect. Never made too many inroads into DOTY, even though she's batshit crazy. I can't make hide nor hair out of what she's trying to say, so I lose patience. She needs to get up off the floor, anyway.

When I was growing-up I once had a cat that was accidently locked in the garage as it was being "bombed" with an aerosol insecticide. The poor creature was never right after that. It would relieve itself wherever it happened to be at the moment. It was skittish to the point of paranoia, even to a familiar hand. It was prone to flights of mania and near-violence. It ceased to groom itself with the attending matted fur and haggard appearance. It was wild-eyed and crazed and my liberal mother refused to have the animal put-down in the name of Mercy. It lingered for years--stalking, nay, haunting--our home until its own inability to care/fend for itself lead it into a ditch whose cold, fast-moving waters left it hemmed in discarded fishing line where it eventually drowned and/or succumbed to hypothermia.
This is the cat I think of when I think of the expression, "Skinner is herding cats."

Ever since yesterday, for some reason, I've been "picturing" the sparkling husband dude as a strutting generalissimo with shoulder-boards as big as ironing boards sticking out from his sides.
The generalissimo dude has it all wrong; as a moderator, he's supposed to serve, not boss around.

As suspected, the format at DU3 reflects the type of gov't the primitives want us all to live under with them making the decisions. It hasn't even started formerly and they're complaining about how they're going to squelch each others "free speech."
The primitives fail to realize the point of DU3 -- it's to create a self-policing board where Skin's can rake in the cash and not have to spend his time hanging around the riff-raff. He even told them he's doing it to give himself more time to pursue other things, but it still hasn't sunk in yet.

SSB it was not necessary to tell that awful story.

This "new" DU is the greatest gift skins could have given us.
I believe it's proof positive that skins himself is the UberMole.

DU3 starts at hardline communism and hopefully will get more entertaining from there.

"This is a perfect improvement in the site to shut the liberal/left/crazy types that do not play well. Just in time for the election year."
Reminds me of the Victorian era practice of hiding the "special" kids away in the attic whenever company was coming over. All the better if they are not seen and not heard. That's all $kimmer is doing here, really. Anyone with detectable levels of insurrection or depleted cranium is off to the tower keep!
