Boy, I just checked the DU underground website, and it came up awfully quickly to be "overloaded" ...... Hmmmmmm .......?

[katnip]

It's still there. You just have to bypass their whiney disclaimer on the home page. Apparantly even their own are being duped by it. Here's something I found there:

I feel like such a wanker. You guys were here all the time and there was me going out of my mind for nearly 4 GODDAMN HOURS! What's worse is that it took a hint from a thread on FR to get me to realise I was a dumbass.

A post on FR let him know that they are still alive there... LOL

DU is not DOWN.

All they've done is remove forum links from their front page.

MASH HERE to sneak in the side door.

DU just shut down their discussion forums, claiming they couldn't handle the load...

I can never handle their loads.

They probably are using a couple of Osbournes for servers

They must have me banned, because all I get is:

Due to the unexpectedly high traffic to our website since election day, we are currently limiting access to our message board. Only individuals who have donated to Democratic Underground during the last year are being given access. This is a temporary change which will only be in effect until our traffic returns to it's pre-election levels.

We regret having to implement this change, but we felt it was the fairest way to keep the website open during this difficult time. We are currently planning a significant and costly server upgrade so we will not face this problem again in the future.

Please be aware that if you donate, we cannot give you access to the forums until we make it into the office tomorrow morning.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It was entertaining watching the Rats at DU melt down today. They did shut down the forums to everyone but previous Dim Donaters, and are still taking donations. You can buy a cheap T-Shirt for $40 bucks.

They also are "allowing" acess to their "articles". Typical Rat Ramblings but one article did pique my interest. I even read it twice for pure entertainment value...

Well.......I guess Minnesotans dared to tell you how NOT to mourn!!!

My e-mail to Democratic Underground:

It is despicable that you have closed the forum to only those who send you cash. Where is your commitment to free speech? Doesn't Terry McAuilfee have enough money?

HELLO! Due to the massive influx of people this morning,(such as illegal aliens crossing the borders) we are experiencing serious problems with server overload.(such as over-loaded schools, medical facilities, public asisstance programs, transportation and infrastructure-to name a few) The forums were shut down at 11:00AM ET.(much like the borders should be closed) Feel free to check back every half hour or so.(feel free to apply for a visa) But please don't hit the "refresh" button on your Web browser every 5 seconds,(as in 'don't keep crossing the borders after we kick your asses out') or we'll never come back online.(we may have to allow armed citizens to pop anyone sneaking back in) Sorry for the inconvenience.

Why do we care? Seriously? How does one better themselves by reading this crap?

I'm a little surprised by the 'told-ya-so' attitude. We're better than that, and them.
