Hello DU... Are you still there?

[Sapphire Blue]

Pages are hardly loading for me. Looking at the latest page, no new posts for about a half hour.

I'm wondering if this will get posted?

[JanusAscending]

17. Still slow for me,...

I've been looking for more on KO's show tonight, which was a total bush BLOWOUT by Kieth. Not much posted yet except a thread with streaming video, which does me no good with dial up! What's up, did too few watch it, or did too many watch, and are all trying to post (or are still in SHOCK)!!??????? DC

to tonight's Keithapalooza, which I thought crashed the site. Glad everything's okay now :hi:

[Spazito]

11. Whew, glad it isn't just me....I was tempted to put on my

tinfoil hat, lol. It is agonizingly slow when it loads at all!

[Pirate Smile]

12. I hate it when that happens! Thank goodness, it's back!

[Jcrowley]

13. Your post did not make it through

[Sapphire Blue]

15. On the third try it finally did!

I kept getting a 'page cannot be displayed' message.

[DemInDistress]

16. same here sapphire... I kept getting 504 error messages and

web site not responding for about 20 minutes. I still get bumped out now and then.. is this an attack by the freepers? Rove? or other wicked people out there...

19. Breaking! 95,100 record calls to Support Hotlines!

Amassed over 30 minutes when the incredibly popular Democratic Underground went down itself earlier tonight!

Mental Health Professionals report that they have never had such intelligent and cogent phone callers, obviously not in need of mental health care, but desperate to return to their cyber community marked by compassion and articulate, yet passionate discussion. "Understandable, said Dr. Stanley. Once one has been to DU, you just can't quit! It is the ultimate in healthy addictions," he stressed.

Now that the uptick in calls has ceased with DU's return to the internet, workers will return to the long unsolved problem of what do do for the (obviously lobotomized) callers from FreeRepublic.com. "It seems hopeless," said the NYC Director of the support hotline. "There just doesn't seem to be anyone home when they talk. We are baffled as to how they have survived so long with such severe deficits in mental capacity, but, with the advances in stem-cell research, we have hope. After all, if we can make paralyzed mice walk again, surely we can find a way to give these poor souls a brain. Hope springs eternal..."

[Sydnie]

21. BWAH!

I see you put your down time to good use. Well done. :)

[hlthe2b]

23. Yup... the local hotline must have been taking the bulk of calls...

so, I had to "treat" myself... :7

[lonestarnot]

27. OMG

:rofl: this too good! Thanks!

[Jamastiene]

20. Yep, we are here trying the same thing to get in and post too.

Or at least, I know I have been. My last few minutes before I have to go to bed and it gets like this. Sometimes it feels like fate has it in for me.
