Is this place big enough for all of us to get in at one time on 11/7?

[babylonsister]

1. No. See ya sometime!

:hi:

[lonestarnot]

2. Well can't we expand?

[rubberducky]

5. 11/8/06 Won`t be a walk in the park either!!

We willbe very busy!

[lonestarnot]

12. I don't envy the techs. Stock up on coffee!

[razors edge]

3. if its anything like the 2002,2004, no

but I was on dial up then and didn't post, just lurked for info.

I have wondered the same.

willing to contribute for the bandwidth so we can keep all those who care informed.

[lonestarnot]

6. Can't we do a special donation drive before then?

[razors edge]

17. hell yes, MODS?

[lonestarnot]

18. They sleep'n.

[razors edge]

23. i'll sleep when i'm dead

[lonestarnot]

26. I know what you mean.

[madokie]

27. Good Idea, I'm going to do that right now, thanks for the reminder

4. I was wondering that myself.

I lost contact last night right after the Senate's torture vote and late this afternoon as well.

If I know Skinner, et al, come November 7th, DU will be at Level 3 all day. No avatars, signatures, etc.

At least I hope so, I'll find out October 10th if I have to work as an election judge here in Illinois. If I do, I'll definitely be needing DU by the time I get home that night.

[lonestarnot]

7. You better find out the address for the DU panic room.

[napi21]

8. My guess would be NO!

I know DU has expanded their server capacity, but I would doubt it's worth expanding to what it would take for one day or night! I guess most of us will have to try the next day sometime.

[lonestarnot]

9. Bummer! Suppose a civil war breaks loose?

[Just-plain-Kathy]

10. Earlier today, I couldn't get on to DU.

November 7th can't come soon enough.

[lonestarnot]

13. That's been happening alot lately.

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. It worked ok on the last election, you couldn't use any

features but otherwise for the most part you could post & read posts. It was pretty impressive!

[lonestarnot]

14. Yes, I remember, but more members now.

[Pirate Smile]

15. We'll go to DefCon 3, 4, 5 - the Admins drop the extra's along the way.

You won't be able to check your posts, search, avatars will be gone, stuff like that.

They strip it to the basics to keep it going but they also keep adding more servers, etc. to keep up with demand but big days always seem to overwhelm the system.

[lonestarnot]

19. Poor servers. Don't forget to tip your server! Where is gravelbot?

[Dem2theMax]

16. I don't remember there being a problem during the last

Presidential election. Maybe I was lucky? Or forgetful?

(Well, there WAS that problem with the votes and the machines and who really won and who didn't...)

DU is really good about tossing out all the furniture on nights like that. No extras.
Standing room only. But hey, it's a good way to get close to all of our DU'er friends. :)

[lonestarnot]

20. Yes. I'm already getting excited!

[Dem2theMax]

21. I don't know how long you've been here. The first debate

between Kerry and * was a sight to behold, both on TV and here at DU. We had a blast.
Too bad that was so short lived.

On election night things really get hopping. Have your champagne chilled.
And hopefully this time we'll all have hangovers of happiness the next day. :)

[lonestarnot]

24. I came on board right after the cheat, so I missed that one damn it! I

didn't realize there was a place of comfort like DU until I dug around looking for solice and discovered the best place on the "internets."

[mb7588a]

22. no,

because we'll be at the polls. DUH.

[lonestarnot]

25. Thanks mb7588a!

DUH! Some will be relieved periodically and would like to check in here. LOL

[babylonsister]

28. You tweaked my memory; there were points where you

couldn't get on DU w/o being a contributing member, but that doesn't happen too often.
