Old DUmp: General Discussion

There are still  some crazies holding out there, running around the hallways, making noise and writing on the walls.

I expect Skinner to come by any day now with a wrecking ball and tear the old place down. Some of them will pull a Rachel Corrie and not move.

[Chris_]

I'm curious why they're dragging their feet about locking up the old DU2 and putting it away for good.

Me too.

I went to Charles' link to the old DU, and found that my fellow alum Skins had made an appearance there, reminding the primitives it was time to move on to the new DU, and the primitives basically jeered at him.

Once DU3 was all up, why didn't Skins just shut down the old one?

I'm curious why they're dragging their feet about locking up the old DU2 and putting it away for good.

Could it be that they're actually proud of their past few years posting history - or could it be that the most progressive herd of simpering lackwitts on the internet are just piss-scared of any real actual progress.

Would there be any logistical or technical reasons one would keep up an older version of a web-site after the new version's all done and running?

That's what I think.  My guess is Skinner is afraid once he closes the door on DU2, he's going to have an exodus on his hands.

[Chris_]

Absolutely none.  It's just there taking up resources.

[LC EFA]

Would there be any logistical or technical reasons one would keep up an older version of a web-site after the new version's all done and running?

No.

The only reason to keep it up is posterity and archival referral. Both of which are in this case more compelling reasons to scrub it immediately into the memory hole.
 

[GOBUCKS]

Absolutely there's a reason. The old DUmp still has ads running. As long as it has enough traffic to sell ads, Skimmer will keep it up.

Skimmer may or may not be a true ideologue, but he's without doubt a greedy capitalist.

[Chris_]

oooh, good answer.

[Charles Henrickson]

From the DUFU linked above:

This refusal to move is troubling. Sure, $kimmer has sold his soul for a pot of dollars, and sure, there is even less tolerance for Obama-bashing now at the New DU. It is becoming clear that DUmmieland is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party. But I don't think the DUmmie Brain Trust (sic) ever expected so many DUmmies to not make the move.

We need an alien invasion to end the oppression of the Right wing, it's that simple 
 When they realize we're puny little ants under the foot of our intergalactic masters, they'll wake up and realize it's too late to come part of the human race..........

Our weapons will be useless, all ideas of God, the Earth being 5000 years old, we're the only beings, dashed in the blast of an energy cannon. Money, useless, food and particle weapons will be the new currency. And every one of those weak-assed, basement dwelling, Cheetos-eating, beer-swilling, gun-loving morAns will dissolve in the beam of energy.

I'm DainBramaged, and if this is my last post on the 'old' Du, it's been a helluva ride.

[franksolich]

Has anyone noticed if the brain-damaged primitive has posted on the new DU3 since his childish temper-tantrum about losing his precious "ignore list"?

I suppose I'll find out sooner or later on my own, as I'm getting ready to write the awards for the top primitives of 2011, and I'm sure the brain-damaged primitive made it into the top ten, warranting his own special award, but still, if anybody's aware of the brain-damaged primitive running around the new DU3, a tip would be nice.

Can I just share this exchange?

2. The admins are no longer supporting DU.2, but the mods are still here.
 Jokes are just fine (though better suited to The Lounge), as long as they don't violate DU rules. We're just here to make sure that no one gets hurt.

  Somebody must have gotten hurt.   

I see that Adbot has packed up his bags and left.

See, that's what I thought was going to happen, but I thought wrong.

I thought that since it was "no longer supported by the administrators," the old DU would become a playground for all sorts of anarchistic fun and merriment among the disgruntled primitives, no one in control any longer.

Now I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps my fellow alum Skins has big plans for the old DU; to actually keep it up and running so as to corral the crazy crazies away from the ordinary crazies; in other words, the rejects who can't make it in the new DU.

[franksolich]

This whole thing reminds me of the way houses were built on the Upper Great Plains circa 1880-1920.

Since there wasn't hardly any lumber, houses were first made of sod bricks.

And then as one prospered, one could afford to have lumber shipped, to built a wood house.

This was usually done by building it attached to the old sod house.

All the nice stuff was then moved into the newer part of the house, while the sod part was used only for storage and somesuch.

A sod-wood combination would last maybe about ten, twelve, years before the sod disintegrated back into the soil.  And in the meantime, more was being added to the newer, the wood, part of the house.

One wonders if the old DU's meant to be the sod house, and the new DU the wood house.

So you're saying the sodomites will stay in the old place?

I was thinking more of the brain-damaged primitive.

You know, one of these "progressives" resistant to change and stuff.

I don't think Skimmer cares a whit about crazy vs. sane. His only concern is cash flow.

He may have some concern that going full crazy hurts DUmp traffic and ad rates, but that's it.

The old DUmp will stay open for business as long as the banner ads bring in more money than it costs to support the bandwidth.

Perhaps they will offer him beer and travel money to migrate to the new site.

Pitt shilling for DU3 brings to mind the phrase "Well, I for one welcome our new alien overlords!"

Blech!

Any doubts that these three butt-ugly dorks saw the inside of every locker in the high school and/or had their sorry asscracks forcefully flossed with their BVD tightey whitey's every other day?

Even as a "jock" I had more self respect and pride than to pick on smaller kids, but some of the smarmy little shits just begged for it.  That's what these three remind me of.
