Skinner really screwed the pooch when he took the site down and kept it down for so long. It could have been the rallying point of DUmmies and DUmmie sympathizers nation, and perhaps, world wide.
But because he fear the DUmmies embarrassing him and the Democrat Party he lost out. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he blew it.
He could have probably gone from 150000 members to over 1 million over night. It could have been the grandest loony bin ever witnessed, each loony wanting to buy hearts and whatnot.
Even if 80% of the new users evaporated after the inauguration he still would have gained substantially.
Shame.
