(52,580 posts)basically they just ping the website and make sure they get a response. they don't know if the response is a good one or not, they just assume if they get a response, the website is "up".
technically, that's correct, it's just not the answer one is usually looking for.

(42,641 posts)But are you saying this was a software error that had nothing to do with DU and it is an interface problem?

(5,611 posts)at times like this so yes I also hope we have serious security measures in place. We KNOW that people, including major dems, visit this site, so it needs to be protected.

A quick check of DU's Facebook page revealed it wasn't just me.

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
