A certain other forum that shall not be named has imploded

Edited on Thu Oct-01-09 03:28 PM by HamdenRice
It became the refuge for the most implacable, unreasoning, pizza munching, six feet under DUers. They were at first welcomed. "Isn't DU horrible?" they all commiserated. But when you put that many disruptive people together, well...



After they used various nuclear options on each other, the only thing left there is cockroaches and Cher. It reads like a post apocalyptic wasteland.

I hope they read this -- considering that 90% of their traffic was trashing DU and various DUers, so I'm sure they read here every day -- and if they do I will be very entertained by their reactions!

cap of a DUer posting an article here for a tombstoned DUer from that site. Of course one of our mods deleted it and contacted me, which is how I knew that site was unmentionable.

So they're all moaning over here instead of moaning over there.

[JackRiddler]

.

One day I was thinking about joining this forum when I noticed a thread called, "JackRiddler: King of the Limited Hangout," which had about 14 implicit and explicit falsehoods and still-beating-your-wife accusations in just a few spare lines. Answering it would have required about 15 times the effort and length of the original, and would have inspired an avalanche of further bullshit from the poster. In case that didn't discourage me, the responses were not objections or even substantive agreements: just sort of meaningless tangential grunts.

[Wombaticus Rex]

I feel really grateful that I have no fucking clue what you're talking about or what this thread refers to. Sounds like I'm only missing out on an ocean of horseshit, eh?

Sorry Jack I didn't see that when it happened. There were some very decent folks at PI, very decent, very good friends of mine.

Superficially, perhaps; but i find it ironic that a site such as this (with its interest in "metapolitics", and other, kindred matters) would distain interest when the subject could be the focus of an entire forum. If anything, i'd have imagined what happened there would be prime grist for the RI analysis mill...

[DawnB]

There was a crazed, mass purging at PI, and it does seem as if it is imploding.

But, that's their path ... go with Spirit.

Uh-oh; has the thread been deleted? I guess it was a sensitive topic.

well it sort of is, but in a lot of ways its tragedies and comedies are too bloody obvious to absorb a lot of bandwidth here.

[stillrobertpaulsen]

One site has no sense of civility, the other has no sense of sanity.

Somehow I tread water through both cesspools with my wits intact.

Hi seemslikeadream! Thanks for sharing this. Hope you've been well.

[mentalgongfu2]

One site has no sense of civility, the other has no sense of sanity.

Thanks! I think? I assumed we were the crazy, polite ones, but now I'm wondering if we're the mean, rational ones.

[DoYouEverWonder]

Since I've managed to get myself stuck in the middle of this mess, I believe people deserve to know a few basic facts that effect everybody here.

The site is now under the administration of the remaining membership. They have access to the website files and they have rearranged, deleted and edited many of the posts and threads on the forum. They also have access to everyone's account info.

This is a breach of trust and the agreement we signed when we joined the forum.

You mean everyone left now has administrative privilege?

I'm sorry to see what's happened over there, and shocked that it has. It looks now like a bullying parody of a Leninist death cult.

[elfismiles]

Uhm... could someone please explain what you guys are talking about? Are you talking about the DU forum site, a different forum site with initials PI, or was PI a subforum of DU?

[barracuda]

They are talking about the land of Chlamor.

PI was Progressive Independent but is no longer progressive or independent, far from it, they are flying under a false flag and have stolen the artwork of a friend of mine.
