Some of the morons out there are going a bit crazy about DU being restricted at the moment...

[ExciteBike66]

I google DU's latest restrictive status (I wasn't a star member until today) and the only news I could find was on trump-humper sites. They seem to think we are covertly planning some sort of violence over here!

[Croney]

1. Oh, is that why I had to log in again? Ok.

I'll just follow the plan once it's presented. 😎

[marble falls]

4. Just remember: it is of utmost imprtance you be at coordinate B-K1 at X hour. The success of the plan depends ...

... on your squad. Bring money, food, guns and the laugh track. Oh, and pick up a bag of gummy bears.

The revolution needs gummy bears. And you.

10. The keys are in the back pocket of the paisley coat. I repeat

The keys are in the back pocket of the paisley coat.. Good Luck!

[tavernier]

29. No, no, it's the PRESLEY coat!

As soon as the Elvis impersonator starts to sing Jail House Rock, he will wiggle his behind and the keys will drop out, at which point one of us (you know who you are) will retrieve them.

Piece of cake.

80. If the drop agent is captured the Secretary will disavow all knowledge and will board the first obtainable flight ...

It's in the car with the Puerto Rico license plate, when the flower pot on the balcony is on the left.

12. Regular gummy bears or "special" gummies?

Eat a couple of gummies, then focus the space lasers. I'm responsible for the non-denominational ones...

Tradition!

[Harker]

61. As do I.

I was but a lurker in the Bob Boudelang days, but DU was and is a lifeline for me.

[surfered]

60. Hugh Moran is also Hugh Janus.

[Harker]

65. Ha! My short 'a' pronunciation left me wondering for a bit. n/t

[berniesandersmittens]

131. Sgt. Moran, Gazpacho Commander?

I heard she moved over to the Space Laser unit.

[Harker]

136. She was promoted?

I conducted a DU user name search.

There is an active user "Hugh Moran" with two posts ending in 1999.

[Aviation Pro]

59. Remember the code word is Ultra

That'll fuck up their day.

[marble falls]

2. They over estimate themselves in every way, added to a false sense of power and a propensitity to project ...

... their own ill intents. But if their fear of the unknown makes them wee their pants - I'm happy for their uncertainty.

I hope it keeps them off balance and awake at night.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

72. No kidding

DU often locks out everyone when they are having an embarrassing meltdown. It is their retreat to a safe space. They locked down when Pedo Biden malfunctioned at the debate.

They give some excuse about some technical error, but I've seen this operation before and they usually are just trying to hide a civil war raging among members. Not a good look. (A great look for us.)
I've seen it a couple times during election cycles when they're losing the election and their minds.
3 posted on 2024-11-01, by metmom (He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus”)

They're probably trying to hide their plans for their next escalation of the civil war against the US which they've been helping to coordinate since Zero was occupying the White House.

I have a Troll account over there. Walled off to only Premium paying members since yesterday afternoon. (so I’m locked out too) Likely walled off until after the election. 2020 they got absolutely blitzed with Pro-Trump posts and general posts mocking liberals and Biden. They decided the election trauma was just too much and closed the doors to the asylum until next week.

13 posted on 2024-11-01, by BigFreakinToad (just remember the Harris algorithm runs at 3 am.)

For many years, they have been locking down to members-only whenever they are having a collective emotional meltdown. Going by the leftist moms I know, these mentally unwell people are ready to put any Trump voters into camps. For democracy.

Nope more like they’re planning riot when they lose. The pink *ussy *itches will be out there in droves you name it every organization who have totally destroyed America whether it’d be BLM, antifa, the pink *ussy *itches, pro hamas rioters etc. will be out there in droves in DC. Believe me when I tell you it is being planned and it’s a go as I type this post. Be ready for whatever hell is gonna hit November 6. And if you think that’s bad wait until inauguration day. They might even have to cancel the swearing in to take place inside the rotunda Without people inside the building. It’s gonna get bad folks. Do you honestly think the DC Cabal is gonna just hand over the keys to Trump with a smile on their faces? They’re out to kill and to destroy at all cost to keep power and the money machine flowing into their bank accounts.

It is going to be a post election bloodbath over there.
Everybody will blame everyone else for the Katastrophe (note I got Kamala and apostrophe in there—clever huh ).
Then they will go to hate the dumb voters mode for the rest of the year.

Yeah right. “Be there — it will be wild” was not said by any of ours.

[marble falls]

85. Of course you wear protection whne you're monitoring the Freep-verse!

That's all they've got.

Vote for our God-King and insanity will rule the day.

A post-election bloodbath?? Receiving our last minute marching orders? And who knew there was a civil war brewing among DU members?

This is what INSANE sounds like, a total U-turn on reality.

Pathetic.

[Scrivener7]

100. Can't wait till they read this!!!

[Captain Zero]

127. They didn't guess what we were really doing

Charging up the Jewish Space Lasers. They'll never know what hit them.

110. I just got that.

[pat_k]

129. You have a stronger constitution than I.

I don't think I'd last in the MAGA alt-verse more than about 10 seconds.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

138. All I do is skim & read. I tune out negativity. Years ago I wanted to understand the right & far right

I've gained some useful understanding of why they behave the way they do. How some nonsense can infect them so easily. Their standard tropes.

They are like Democrats: they love their families, they love justice, they love country.

They are unlike Democrats because they do not have the broader empathy that Democrats add: love and empathy for all humans. They also have a different concept of country, kind of frozen in 1950s suburbia with a layer of a few accomplished non-whites that they tolerate. I wanted to know how they could be so alike the rest of the country and yet so different and so opposed.

Now I sometimes find it amusing just how stupid they can be. Over the years the site evolved to be tightly controlled maga group think and then devolved into maga infighting. So much confirmation bias. So much overlap with evangullibles. So little logic.

But yeah, they have many ways to be disgusting. Beginning with violent bigotry, misogyny, racism, and prejudice. Not all of them are that way, but a majority of the vocal ones can't hide it or don't care.

[pat_k]

140. empathy for all humans

Few are purely on thing or the other, but I you hit on the central key with ”they do not have the broader empathy that Democrats add: love and empathy for all humans" from which flows so much.

On "the radical difference of mental habit between the good character and the bad." (Schopenhauer )

141. Thanks, but link is defective. Here is the real one

Thanks. I am following links the link links to.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219622617

It really pays to check and take care of details, particularly such as links. If you post a link and it does not show the "visited" decoration (usually a slightly different colour), then you probably have a mistake. I was able to guess (by counting) that you had added a stray '0' onto it.

[pat_k]

142. Fixed. Sorry.

[Vinca]

3. As I recall, back in 2004 when I joined, it was also restricted and I had to send an email to ask to get in.

I think they do that around elections, but if the crazies on the right think we're plotting, let them think it. The only firing squad we might discuss is walloping them with whoopie pies. We wouldn't even do that. Why waste a good whoopie pie on a Trumphumper?

[Bev54]

95. Nope there is a technical problem and they could either shut down altogether or allow just members so

the site doesn't crash. Earl G advised us last night.

[House of Roberts]

5. Are we restricted to Star Members only?

I haven't seen any notice of it, but if it takes that to keep the site from crashing, I'm for it.

[Silver Gaia]

9. Currrently, yes.

Here's a link to EarlG's post about it:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/101314930

19. I was asleep when that was posted,

and it just now reached enough recs to make the top five on Greatest Discussions, so that's how I missed it. Thanks!

We’re on a rampage!

[HAB911]

7. As long as Soros keeps the money flowing

I'm all in

[Jersey Devil]

11. DU usually goes to star login only on election day to cut down traffic

I can't think of an election where they did not do that but usually it's on election day or the day before.

[ExciteBike66]

13. I had to get star membership, i can't be without my fix these next few days!

[Jersey Devil]

15. Some anonymous DU members donate stars for other members

My star expired and I did not renew it due to financial concerns surrounding surgery early this year when lo and behold, one day I looked up and there was a star next to my name. Another DU member had paid for it. I don't know who it was but am very grateful. We have a lot of very good and generous members who look after each other.

[niyad]

20. See post 9. There were issues yesterday.

[Wounded Bear]

25. Yeah, running slow with timeouts. DDS attacks? nt

[niyad]

26. EarlG said it appears no attacks. A weird issue with the new software.

[Wounded Bear]

28. OK. I just remember that year we got hacked and crashed on election day...nt

[niyad]

32. Yes, quite a number of us were having flashbacks yesterday about 2016.

[Wednesdays]

53. I remember it took me several WEEKS

...not just days, to finally login normally after that 2016 blackout.

[marble falls]

86. After the great hack, I stayed off line for everything for 11 months. Getting back on DU was not easy ...

... I got a new account and got a MIRT OP over my being a returnee. EarlG and Elad got me back on.

Wow, we are even more powerful than I ever thought!

[ExciteBike66]

44. Two sites came up when i was trying to figure out what happened to DU

Both had similar comments, and several references to making sham accounts on DU to mess with us. None of them wanted to pay for a membership though, even though you name your own price!

Clearly it’s projection and it’s telling that it seems they are preemptively creating a cover story for themselves.

...and a few of them will be dumb enough to try it.

[LAS14]

54. What is this about? What is "restricted status?" Is it a Star Trek joke? nt

[Wounded Bear]

58. No. It just means that only star members can log in and post...

No guests currently while they deal with some software issues or something. If someone hasn't donated they don't get in.

Also to keep the trolls out around election day.

[LAS14]

62. And what is this about other (right wing???) sites posting about it? Did I get that right? Nt

[Wounded Bear]

67. Yeah, the OP references a couple of RW sites posting about it...

about how they can't come here to scout us and troll us.

Then some of our guys started posting the comical "secret agent plotting" posts above. That part is all in fun, of course.

[Lifeafter70]

106. I understand why this was done but

I think a lot of good duers are now gone from this board. Those that for many different reasons are not able to afford a star membership i had to join PayPal to donate, which was supposed to be a one time thing. Since doing this just a day ago my email has been flooded with different messages from PayPal. That is something I did not want and thought would not happen with a one time choice. Because of that my hubby who has been a member since 2007 decided not to use it
.and is now blocked from signing in.
We are now in a echo chamber during a critical time of this election.
A lot of good information is posted here and will not be seen by those who need it
the most. We will not be reaching out to the very ones Vice President Harris has asked us to reach out to.
This thread reminds me of another many many years ago. I referred to it as the sneechies thread. Long time du readers and members might remember it. Think Dr Suese.

Membership dues are great but in my opinion not enough to keep this site up and running. As much as many here dislike the adds, they are needed revenue . One of the perks of a star is no adds in your feed. So if we are a closed site why would a business want to advertise here.

Just wanted to point out we lost so good du members not just trolls.
.

[Scrivener7]

111. It's a temporary problem. Inevitable in a site of this size. No one has lost anything.

[blogslug]

117. You can change Notification settings in your PayPal account

On desktop, log in and click your account profile located in the top menu at the right. On it you'll get a drop-down menu, click Account Settings. Choose the Notifications link on the left vertical menu.

[Hekate]

125. Hmmm. I hope the DUer(s) who went wherever made sure to wash their hands after leaving.

[canetoad]

What a hell-hole it is. There's not much activity an there any more, just a few bitter old Klansmen whining about DU, and I disinfected thoroughly when I left.

to these people that they have to start extrapolating ridiculous scenarios as to what we're doing.

BTW, I'm willing to contribute to someone who can't afford the star membership. I could help at least a few people out.
