1. My bad--I clicked the wrong thing

[joshcryer]

31. Did I do that?

Most productive hour I've had in awhile. Who knew GD was so addicting?!?

[Locut0s]

2. Yeah I came to ask the same question...

Was about the post an article.

[Nanjing to Seoul]

3. GD needs to get back online. I need to post the Top 10 tomorrow!

[CTyankee]

50. Waah, what about my Friday Afternoon Challenge?

[pinboy3niner]

51. That Dutch guy will be positively apopleptic!

[CTyankee]

53. There is NO Dutch guy in this week's Challenge!

I locked the whole bunch of Dutch guys in the basement....they weren't too happy, either...

[CTyankee]

57. Huh?

I've got nothing against the Top Ten! I like the Top Ten!

I was trying for a joke. Really.

I'm sorry that my humor wasn't funny to you. I apologize for that...

P.S. The violin smilie was aimed at ME, not you...I was trying to make fun of myself...

[Nanjing to Seoul]

59. I profoundly apologize and will self-delete the comment

I didn't see the sarcasm. Normally, I do.

[CTyankee]

61. Oh, that's OK! Don't apologize...

The violin smilie was misplaced...I can see how you thought I was being disrespectful, so I understand...

[Nanjing to Seoul]

64. BTW, I just posted the Top Ten this week. It's Friday in China (my normal day of posting).

It's a good way to end the week of teaching Geography and History.

[CTyankee]

67. Good! Thanks!

[bluesbassman]

4. It was inevitable. First Meta, then GD, Cooking and Baking is next.

Soon they'll be nothing left but the Lounge. Victory is within our grasp!

[Locut0s]

5. I guess the NSA is making a copy ;) nt

[Rhiannon12866]

6. This happened before, awhile ago, for a few days in a row at about the same time of day.

The admins fixed it then with apparently no harm done...

[Locut0s]

8. Perhaps it's forum / database maintenance?...

On another forum I used to frequent they were down for scheduled maintenance a few hours every week.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. I remember that happening on DU.2, but it was closer to 3am ET.

When this happened before, Skinner got on and said Elad need to fix something, if I remember it right.

[ConcernedCanuk]

9. Thanks, hope the hosts and juries are flexible with what they call "off-topic"

.
.
.

We know GD stuff is gonna pop up in other forums.

Hope they consider that.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. I guess no one can add new posts right now, but those that were there already still exist.

So I imagine that it'll take awhile for everyone to figure out what's going on. I remembered that this happened before, so I looked for a post about it.

[RudynJack]

7. DAMN YOU, SNOWDEN!!!

[B Calm]

11. I was getting ready to post a reply in GD and I got the message that the forum was down

for maintenance.

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. Maybe they are cleaning out the trolls!

.
.
.


that would be good.

ps: - might take a while . . . .

[JHB]

13. Oops! I just twirled my waxed mustache and chortled fiendishly.

Things like this happen every time I do that...

[ConcernedCanuk]

15. Stop that!

49. because of YOU

I am going to have to spend the morning gardening!

[In_The_Wind]

16. I tried to post a thread there.

[pintobean]

21. Okay, I'll put GD back

[In_The_Wind]

66. Thanks ~

17. Where all where did GD go?

[pinboy3niner]

18. On a brief vacay to visit Meta

[NuclearDem]

19. THANKS OBAMA

[Solly Mack]

20. Yes. I consumed it. And...

"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."

[ConcernedCanuk]

23. Without GD - where will the fights begin?

25. C&B

D'oh!

[Solly Mack]

28. People should watch hummingbirds. I find it relaxing.

I'm watching a few outside my window right now.

[ConcernedCanuk]

65. I got honeybees right outside my back door, let the wildflowers grow.

.
.
.

also have a couple of hummingbirds hangin' around.

Love Nature!

36. Yes, Dubya hijacked my DU account! nt

[ConcernedCanuk]

42. Dubya ain't smart enough to do that . . .

[madinmaryland]

44. Lee Mercer, Jr??

[krispos42]

48. I heard he triplicated himself...

...so he could get all 3 GDs.



When they rolled out DU3, this was really inevitable.

Skinner needs to roll out DU4, stat.

[Quantess]

26. Good discussions happening in LBN

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1014

[ConcernedCanuk]

29. LBN has to be news within 12 hours

.
.
.

Did they relax the rules?

CC

[Quantess]

35. Um.... what?

Yes, I meant there are good discussions on news that has happened within the past 12 hours, and also news articles a little older than that are being discussed in LBN because readers kick the threads with their insightful comments.

Does that not fit the definition of "discussion"?

[ConcernedCanuk]

62. "Does that not fit the definition of "discussion"? - certainly does . .

.
.
.

And you should well know that the kind of discussions in GD wold not be allowed in LBN.

GD is sort of a spin-off of the Lounge, I'm sure you know that,

albeit a little more serious.

Begs the question,

What is your question?

(I'll pass on the shrug thing)

27. please oh computer goddesses & gods remove

the gun posts, send the minions of the RW, Paulbots, libertarians, and denizens of the gungeon to their proper places. May it be so. Merry meet and merry part, and keep those out again. so mote it be.

[PowerToThePeople]

30. Obv NSA did it.

[Puzzledtraveller]

32. PS finally broke it

[HappyMe]

33. It was unanimously hidden by a jury.

General Discussion

ALERTERS COMMENTS
What? I didn't know you could alert on a whole forum! Jurors, hide GD and have some fun.


Juror 1 voted to HIDE - Hidey, hidey, hidey-hee!
Juror 2 voted to HIDE - No comment
Juror 3 voted to HIDE - I usually never vote to hide, but this takes the cake.
Juror 4 voted to HIDE - My cousin has GD! Treatment has been long and painful. The 1st ointment made it worse. Stop making fun of people with GD!
Juror 5 voted to HIDE - What a troll! Paging MIRT!
Juror 6 voted to HIDE - Will nobody think of the children!!

[ConcernedCanuk]

38. LOL!

.
.
.

Be careful though -

don't wanna piss off the wonderful jury system . . .

[Agschmid]

52. Oye.

[Sancho]

34. I think the "Snowden is a traitor" threads finally killed GD...

[HappyMe]

37. I think it was the

'Snowden is a saint patriot wonder, I'm moving to Russia too!' threads.

Personally, I think it's the 'it's in the stars, and inevitable Hillary is president' threads.

[pinboy3niner]

39. Damn you, HiPointDem!

[Yavin4]

40. Oprah bought GD for $38,000 n/t

[pinboy3niner]

41. You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!

[ConcernedCanuk]

47. Charlton Heston - gone now, but I remember him well

.
.
.

That was a pretty moving scene,



afraid we may be moving in that direction.

Sure doesn't seem like we are moving towards a peaceful World.

Bombing the shit out of other countries isn't helping methinks.

George Carlin would agree.

(sigh)

Oh, I should have known!

[OneGrassRoot]

46. ^^ This whole thread is one big DUzy!!!! ^ ^ K&R n/t

[Sancho]

54. I hate to say it, but with GD still down I might have to do some work...

but then productivity would go up; but I wouldn't get a raise and it would only make the rich get richer!!!

Help get the economy back on track!!! Don't fall for the Koch brother's trap!

Please fix GD while there's still hope!!!

[ConcernedCanuk]

55. LOL! - me too,

.
.

and I suspect many others will do the same
