They bid a final farewell to the corrupt Skinner before making the trek to Jackal Land.

Not just websites: the Democratic party itself is 100% pay-to-play now. If you can't afford to pay, then you are just a vote to exploit and pander to. Nothing more.
Despite this the DUmmie will still pull the level for the "D".

DU's General Election Season postponed until Monday June 20

Well, this is embarrassing.

As most of you know, last week we began the seven-day transition period from Primary Season to General Election Season and announced that DU's General Election Season would officially begin on Thursday June 16.

From the perspective of the Admins, this transition has been nowhere near as straightfoward as previous ones. For the past six months we have been planning and building out a new system to replace/upgrade/improve the current Jury system. Elad has been working his butt off to get it finished, and over the last seven days we have been testing the new software with the help of MIRT members.

The new software is ready to go, but we have an unexpected problem -- Elad is not going to be fully available this weekend to monitor the site and make sure everything is running smoothly.

Therefore we have been faced with a choice: either go ahead and put up all the changes tomorrow -- but run the risk that something might go awry over the weekend and make DU unusable for hours at a time -- or wait until Monday when we can be sure that any (inevitable) bugs are identified and fixed quickly.

I know some people like to buy into the fantasy that DU is taking million-dollar handouts from the DNC, but the truth is that this site is now and has always made money solely from member donations and advertising. If we could afford a whole team of programmers, that would be great. But as it is the entire burden of maintaining the database, and programming all of the ideas that EarlG and I come up with, falls to one person: Elad. If he's not available, then we don't have any way to bring the site back if something goes wrong.

This was not an easy decision to make, but we have decided that the safest option is to wait until Monday. I know this will probably come as a disappointment to some of you, but we decided that being forced to wait a few more days before officially ending Primary Season was a better outcome than the possibility that a bug in the new software may shut the site down for the entire weekend.

Our apologies, and thank you for continuing to support and enjoy Democratic Underground. We'll post another announcement on Monday.

Blah, blah, blah...
...We'll post another announcement on Monday.
I do not know what this compares to more:
A. Obama and his constantly moving "red lines"
or
B. The Obamacare website rollout.

Maybe a little of both.

It looks like Skinner CHICKENED out on pulling the Suicide Trigger. Delaying it for 5 days...or perhaps forever?

I wish there were a safe way for the moles on the MIRT team to give us their impressions without getting burned.

According to the jackhole radicals, a whole bunch of berniebots had their posting privileges suspended last Fri with no hidden posts or warnings.  nadin was one of them.

I like this comment from Skinner; he's just a hard working site admin getting by on the pittance that he earns from selling valentines hearts and ad space. :blah:

Maybe come Monday Skinner will announce another delay out of respect for Bugsy Siegel who was murdered by the mob on June 20, 1947.
