Wow.
Like Karin said above, she's not getting the welcome she thought she would.

1. I thought you decided JPR wasn't for you?
I seem to remember you saying something along those lines somewhere (else).
Oh right … there’s been nowhere else for you to post for a few days.

11. Two things JPR needs
a search feature and an ignore button. I’ve noticed that we’ve been over run the last few days by people who this place really isn’t for.

19. You got that right.
and people who said nothing but bad things about it and us elsewhere and got a hundred ‘**** them!’ and pats on the back for it.

29. For a bunch of ****s who said they didn't need us
they sure seem to the last couple of days. God I hope the site comes back up so they can go back and scream “the sky is falling†there.

31. Yep …….. that's what they do best. For all the good it does.

20. It's a shame that the other place went down.
Suddenly such an avalanche of posts with an unfortunate (and easily recognizable) tenor.

26. I've been flooded with notifications
I was the one who made the first two New Members Check-In Threads, and because of that, I get a notification every time someone responds to the OP.
I’ve been bombarded with notifications the past few days, so no, you’re not imagining things. There’s a flood of new people showing up here … or a flood of people who made accounts a while ago and just started to post (perhaps because they have had nowhere else to go for a few days).

28. I came here because of Mineral Mans post
Mocking the yellow box and saw a lot of DUers are liked which was the day before the hack. Having nowhere to go I did spend more time here than I probably would have but like the forum so far. I do agree with the OP FWIW.
Edit I didn’t know this place existed until the Freeper’s post.

32. The Freepers have posted about JPR?
Ha! You learn something new every day. I’ll take your word for it. I don’t have any desire to wade into that swamp.

35. Mineral Man is the freeper I was referring to
He used to post some ugly things there than came to DU trying to say he was undercover trying to sway them but it didn’t explain the ugly stuff he posted there and other conservative sites.
Now he DUs favorite freeper and Skinner has his head in the sand regarding him but he is responsible for a lot of the ugly stuff at DU which probably drove members here. I would have came here sooner if I knew this site existed.

38. I saw that thread by MM.
And then when I saw DU was down, I thought how ironic, considering MM was commenting on the security here and posting such bravado about it never happening there.
We got hit by bots and DDOS. They got wiped off the ‘net. Or is that “wiped off the map�
Maybe he’ll learn never to ask “What could go wrong?†or any variation thereof

30. I love how on this forum we can disagree with each other but it is
almost always respectful and so clearly about making one’s own view as clear as possible in the back and forth responses, and, again, in a respectful way with very little lecturing of others. Very democratic in the vein of the Greek idea of discussion and debate. I don’t want that to get drowned out! The moderators are great on here and it’s unlikely that will happen but I have to admit that I experienced some “alarm bell†moments very recently. I appreciated reading about your experience with the notifications.
Finally the discussion gets back on track, these responses to cali:

2. He might.
We don’t know what he will do.

24. Yep . . . he might not
But if the crazies & crybabies could get their way and flip those dastardly electors, we can be sure that She would.

3. Why I decided JPR needs the 'ignore function'…
