GD Threads are being posted and sinking out of sight

[Sugar Smack]

by the second. I have never seen the likes.

[StopTheMorans]

1. where have all the woo woos gone? don't they have time to reply

any more :shrug:

[Sugar Smack]

5. Wait, what's a woo woo again?

[StopTheMorans]

8. funny you should ask

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=3943291&mesg_id=3943291

[Sugar Smack]

12. Beautiful! I love that site. Where did all the woo woos go?

All the woo woos are starting threads!

You have to go back six pages to find one started five minutes ago.

:wow:

[Gormy Cuss]

32. I believe there's an anomaly over in GD

Some sort of quantum paradigm shift. I'm not taking off the tin-foil hat anytime soon.

;-)

[Sugar Smack]

33. paradigm, spare-a-dime,

everywhere a fine time.

;)

[JimmyJazz]

9. I posted "woo-woo" to someone earlier today - just for you!

:)

[miss_kitty]

18. are you talking about me?

I was actually thinking of http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/grammarian.htm

"Grammarian usually has little to contribute to a discussion and possesses few effective weapons. To compensate, he will point out minor errors in spelling and grammar. Because of Grammarian's obvious weakness most Warriors ignore him."

Of course at DU we don't ignore them, we play with them like we would our food, when we were kids...

[enigmatic]

2. It's absolute chaos right now

I've never seen anything like what's going on in NOLA right now, at least in a supposedly first world country; it's surreal. And if this doesn't finish off W, I give up.

[Sugar Smack]

7. That's my feeling.

The chump is up to his ears. People will never forget this.

[enigmatic]

10. They won't forget the dead bodies

And they'll see the dead bodies and hear the stories. And I'm watching CNN now and they are telling it and showing it for all to see..

[KitchenWitch]

3. Maybe all 76000+ of us are online right now

:silly:

[Sugar Smack]

6. You know, you could be right!

:o

[Midlodemocrat]

16. LOL.

I think you may be right. But if we get to level 5, only Skinner can post.

:hide:

[KitchenWitch]

20. eeek

Skinner almost never posts

Note to self: hack Skinner's account :rofl:

[crispini]

21. LOL

Now THAT would be funny.

[WCGreen]

30. Def con 5

Dear god noooooooo

[hfojvt]

25. truer numbers

I added up the numbers on the user profiles chart (where they say there are 1100 that begin with the letter A, etc.) and there were only 55,000 on that list. Banned members are not on that list. Plus when I checked some of the profiles on the list, they had registered in 2003 and only had 2 posts. Not tombstoned, but not active either, and I quickly found three or four like that. So I estimate something like 40,000 active members. Still larger than the city where I live.

[Zuni]

4. consider the scope of the destruction

and the fact that everyone in GD tends to make 10 or 15 threads all saying the same thing

[Sugar Smack]

15. I know, it's absolutely astounding.

[no name no slogan]

11. Sheer unbridled chaos over there

I've given up for the next 48 hours. I'll just chill here awhile, if that's alright. :loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

13. Absolutely!

I only peek over there lately...nothing to see there.

[WCGreen]

31. Well, KW.....

If you get this note.....

Please be advised that the people are gnashing teeth and pulling out hair over there.....

Strange craziness going down, my friend.....

[Sugar Smack]

35. BAD CRAZINESS.

I could quote the late good doctor all night at this point.

[Sugar Smack]

14. Well, trying to post over there is like playing whack-a-mole.

So I may chill out here as well.

;-)

[no name no slogan]

24. or like herding cats, maybe

not that either one of us has experience with that :silly:

[Sugar Smack]

27. Oh, speak for yourself, pumpkin.

Heh, heh.

[no name no slogan]

29. You'll have to let me in on your secret, then

apparently the sodium pentathol-laced catnip isn't doing the trick ;)

[KittyWampus]

17. Hopefully The Looter Threads Will Stop For A While Or Maybe Sniffa

will decide to start another round....

[ContraBass Black]

19. Like that post about the air strike killing 7 targets and 56 bystanders?

:mad:

[crispini]

22. What? I didn't see this one?

[ContraBass Black]

46. Here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4516272

DO NOT LET THIS GO.

[Sugar Smack]

23. Oh my God

I missed that one. Holy hell.

[ContraBass Black]

48. Here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4516272

DO NOT LET THIS GO.

[name not needed]

26. My thread's been up 4 minutes

It's already near the bottom of the first page

[Sugar Smack]

28. I'll go check it out!

[RevCheesehead]

34. Yeah - some really important threads got sunk into the archives.

All because everyone had to post their one single comment in its own thread. :grr:

[Sugar Smack]

38. Hey, Rev!

:hi:

I really enjoy your posts. You are a dedicated woman. See, I have mixed feelings about that (the multiple posts), because I have to tell you, almost every post there is so strong and heartfelt and powerful, I could not take my eyes away. I'm usually very cynical *pats self on back* but not today. People had to talk. It was amazing.

Anyway, you have my undivided attention, and I really like you.

[RevCheesehead]

40. You are too kind.

You should see me when I have my snark going full-blast. :evilgrin:

I think it's safe to say *SOMETHING* happened today.

[Sugar Smack]

53. Play your snark, I say,

and get it to a full boil. Something did happen today, and your own words are powerful stuff.

[Deja Q]

36. Usually by single-line throwaway pablum.

[jane_pippin]

37. I know! My thread sunk like a stone. (Although it hit the greatest page so

you know. Whatever).

It was my first "greatest" so I'm a little happy about it.

Anhoo, it just shows how many of us turn to each other in times of crisis. That's worth the fast threads, I think.

[Sugar Smack]

39. I think so too, janie-

I love being in touch with people who respond similarly, and I don't care how briefly.

[jane_pippin]

43. amen. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this community right now.

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

49. Well, I hope you've been properly welcomed.

We appreciate you and every ounce of your input is gladly recieved. Feel free to vent all of your frustrations about our so-called government right here. :hug:

[jane_pippin]

52. Thank you. Welcomed and then some. Yay for DU. :)

[Sugar Smack]

54. I'll definitely keep an eye out for you.

:yourock:

'goes without saying.

[jane_pippin]

55. Ok now you're just going to get me weepy.

:)

Really though, thank you.

Sugar Smack, :yourock: to the max!

[no name no slogan]

41. cantsleepclownlleatme

[Sugar Smack]

42. That's just GREAT.

Give us all something else to worry about.

Clowns.

[no name no slogan]

45. You're not worried about clowns already?

I figured it might take our minds off the NOLA disaster, if only for a moment or two.

[bridgit]

44. my sense is that the all-too-often operative in gd

is to out gd the next and/or previous poster; said it before say it again = thought about maybe a general request to change 'the gd handle' to: General Derision :thumbsup: that has a certain, occasional & verifiable ring to it; ding ding

[Sugar Smack]

50. gotta say, "Princess Phoey"

that your attitude is what keeps us all alive and well. You have the distance and the palpable caring to keep all of us in check.

Princess Phooey. You Don't mind that, do ya?

[bridgit]

56. words have a certain & specific 'gravity' mine Czarina...

as i know, for a fact, you are well aware = 'sticks & stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me' is a phrase meant imho for they whom feel that 'ignorance is bliss'; as such, it must then depend, upon which end...

(:woohoo: i'm a poet, i know it, hope i don't blow it);

your "phooey", well...maybe not your suggestion i accept my demontion from 'grandmaster cheeseball' to Princess Phooey, but, you know = phooey, as a general, or common sort of 'tag'...may then be found to reside

:rofl:

[Sugar Smack]

57. You are and always will be THE Grandmastesr Cheeseball-

grandmaster cheeseball; accept no substitutes!

:hi: :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

47. lots of people have things to say this week ...

it's been odd ...

very odd indeed ...

[Sugar Smack]

51. Odd, yes.

And amazingly enlightening.

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

Thank god for you, is all I have to say.

[In_The_Wind]

58. life is changing rapidly ...

but there are some things that stay constant ...

[dr.zoidberg]

59. Wow.

Nearly 10 threads in a minute. Jesus Christ, can some of those threads be merged or something?
