When checking Discussionist.com (12-08-16) we now SEE...
« on: December 08, 2016, 02:59:24 PM »
We'll meet again
Don't know where, don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

(Seriously though, Discussionist will be back -- we promise.)

Hey, it's better than "Hmmm. I can't seem to find that page"

I'm eager to see what G4Graham is doing with his multi-generational presidential sequence chart for all the Clinton and Obama offspring.

This election surely put a little bump in it for him. Don't know that he can recover.

G4A most likely still thinks Hillary won.  In his mind everything is just fine.  That guy is so far out in left field he is beyond hope.

It would be nice if nothing were substantially changed, but many DU members hated DI worse than any other site because it was hosted by DU management, it had no moderation (save in the most extreme situations, mostly "sock" account removal), no M.I.R.T. and allowed political opinions to vary well outside lockstep, unthinking, book-burning, torch-and-pitchfork Democratic dogmatic views...

A whole month to get up an under construction page when only DU, not DI, was hacked?

We need it back by the EC vote and, more importantly, by Trump's inauguration so we can prove just how wrong Nate Silver, the polls and just about every other pundit were.

Eagerly awaiting the return.  Not only to see if Graham is still alive but to see the 1000's of cartoons that LMPV has stored up.

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if it returns after being completely scrubbed and reset, requiring everyone to make new accounts as if a brand new site.

 I found Discussionist less than a year ago. I have maybe 7-800 posts is all, but I liked the fact that I was once again able to torment that pustulent hag iverglas.

 I wouldn't be surprised that, if and when it comes back, that it has a seriously revised ToS making it much more difficult to disagree with Democrats without sanction.

Conservatives and Liberals together again! I wonder if cowards will erase all previous posts, or if we can have fun dredging up a few of the best Hillary gloats.

 I suspect a scrubbing and a revision of forum rules is what they are trying to work out.

Well, here's hoping Discussionist is brought back exactly as it was prior to the plug being pulled - safe space free, unmoderated,  and open to all ideas and opinions...the polar opposite of DU, in other words. :cheersmate:

BTW: That's the first time I've seen an animated "Under Construction" .gif since around 2003. I wonder which now long defunct website via the internet Way Back Machine Skinner snatched that from?
