Thank you Skinner for not shutting down DU for a week to implement new features or reconstruct.
I really appreciate the DU tech people having enough knowledge and experience to be able to add and change things without shutting DU down for a week.

Good job.

6. I'm not sure if there is a new thing today, but wanted to compliment in general, after looking
at another website that is shut down, for over a wk, supposedly for new features.

These guys on DU do well. Yes, there are hickups and glitches, but I do appreciate them keeping DU up and running.

17. Well; I'm hoping
they added a new feature. If not, the hiccups have been few.

Some websites that use PBB (?) can be a PIA.

4. I suspected that high traffic was not the reason why we're still on Level 1
in the middle of the night.

7. Right, and they managed to keep it all glued together
during an important primary. That takes real talent!

9. Shutting down DU for a week
could cause thousands of DU'ers found across the nation to go into withdrawal. :scared:

12. Indeed.
Makes me wonder if DU has gotten busier this wk due to another website being closed and those people being stir crazy. You know, See You here.

14. No, not at all. Saying I checked another website, leading me to thank skinner et al
Edited on Thu May-08-08 02:01 PM by uppityperson
Not you at all, but me. I can't post the name of the website, but it is devoted to watching us and posting about us. They have been shut down and now say they are reconstructing.

I was thinking that some of this last wk's trolls may have come from there, since they couldn't post there, come here instead. Not you at all. Sorry if you thought that. That was trying to refer to the other site.

But I do appreciate DU being kept up and going when they do add and change things around.

15. OK
I almost misunderstood. And yes, I would expect that they would show up here or are already here.

I am very happy we weren't shut down for a week! Well DU is run by professionals though. :7

16. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
sometimes I don't communicate well, I know what I'm talking about so others should also too cryptic. Thanks for checking, would rather have people check than assume I mean something I don't.
