He is already open for business. When it tapers off, then he will let everyone else in.

I think it'll probably be toward the end of this week, the closest answer to that was 'Next week,' so I went with that.  As for DI, it all depends on what Skins was making on the ad revenue; if it was negligible, then maybe never.  If it was actually paying some bills, then probably next month.

Our buddy Skins is about to join the victims of the Obama economy, albeit later than I would have hoped. The cash cow has dried up and in the new spirit of the democrat party futility trying to re-connect with the people they have been insulting for the last eight years there is no way that the democrat party is going to fund and/or permit a concentrated display of utter stupidity.

Skins may try to keep it going but I think that DU ends up as a "pay to play" safe space for moonbats and Skins and Shelly are going to have to re-think their lifestyle. Of course, Skins could end up as a kept man while Shelly brings home the bacon???

With every passing day, I'm becoming more and more dubious that Skins's island is ever going to resurface; I'm no longer holding my breath.

Keeping it closed helps his income stream from the DUmmies for membership (But with no minimum to become a paid member, and the DUmmies are nothing if not cheap)but is killing his hit count, which directly affects the ad revenue.  It'll be a money-driven decision as to which is more important, but of course only Skins has the actual numbers at hand to determine which way it breaks.  My comments are simply my own idle speculation based on the obvious decision framework he faces.

I e-mailed earl about DI.  I got a response that said DI was NOT hacked, just DU, but they are both on the same server and use some of the same software, so DI is not going to be back up until they can confirm that DU is stable.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

To reappear on the island even as a star member you had to input the email you registered under and then get a temporary password to log in and then reset the password to something you want.
A useful tool to cross check against passwords at DI as well as to refresh the email list that will be for sale again.

It takes a week (or more) to "confirm that DU is stable"? What'd they do? Kill some of their generator-driving squirrels to relight and stoke the boilers of their steampunk forum software?

True, and H-5. But I was referring to their steampunk squirrel-powered forum SW.

My bet is that he will milk them as long as he can.  Right now he is probably been adding star members like crazy, that influx will soon slow.  When it does he will open it back up to everyone.

The fate of DI is still unknown, I haven't seen him address it yet.

Isn't having to have a star to enter the Island the same as a legal restriction to enter a country?

I recall in several threads a long time ago that DU should close public viewing and make out exclusively private.

David Allen Moskwa still knows that he is dealing with lunatics so don`t be surprised if the next wave of members will be those with a certain post count so he can let a fresh batch of them vent their rage and threats of violence.

Part of Skins' calculation has to be the fact than many members will, as time passes, go to other places - like DK, MMfA, or TP - and get settled in. If he waits too long, they may never come back.

The DUmmies have to provide more info to post on Skin's Island than is necessary to vote in many blue shitholes.

Oddly, none of them seem to be complaining.  Odd, that.
