Attention Displaced DP Members

Sounds like the Mike Nystrom doesn't know what he wants. I'm personally tired of the drama. Shame on him for posting a thread like that to get everyone in a panic. Shame on him.

The most important thing for me is keeping this group together. The Ark is the people, not the site itself, in my opinon.

So the Ark wasn't the boat, it was the animals? I thought God already made the animals, and wanted Noah to build an ark so they wouldn't get their feet wet.

He has great faith in his users' ability to swim collectively, doesn't he?

No fear. I just want a place I can go to to read some good stuff and learn and share thoughts and ideas with other like minded people. I don't care much for the drama.

Drama we have. But it comes from the bottom up; it pretty much never comes from On High.

I suppose you have to be a libertarian to truly appreciate what a huge advantage that is.
 
More about searching the forum to see if some news item has been posted:

Sometimes people will keep the same title, sometimes they will change it, so it is better to search within the text.
Take about 6-10 words from a sentence in the story, and use google or startpage:

Code: 
"heard about the incident when the pool revolt" site:ronpaulforums.com

RPF threads gets indexed very fast, so even new stuff posted within the same hour usually shows up in the results.

that is VERY true.
I think it is also important that.... I think that the "rep" system keeps a lot of flak off of the mods.
(members flag the trolls)
and in some sortof weird cosmic way.... only the best trolls survive?

Haven't really been over and logged in on DP for many months, it just seemed to me that Nystrom was running that site into the ground despite it being such a hotbed of activity and such for its first 5 or so years. What's the latest? I'd get snarky but doesn't sound like I need to at this point.

Hi, this is TwelveOhOne from DailyPaul.com. I hope that site never closes but the writing is starting to bleed on the wall, so like Eddy Murphy I will listen when they scream "getttt ouuuuutttt!" 1/2 :)

Even if it's a house that we largely helped to create. Not myself personally, I'm thinking more of fishyculture, emalvini, go213mph, PHREEDOM, The South, AnCapMercenary, and many many others who regularly ("Daily!!") brought news to the site that Michael had at one point started, and is now choosing to blow up.

I am saddened that the house I have lived in for a few years is to be demolished. But if it is, I'm glad to be able to join my existing friends here, and make new ones as well!

The latest? Is he or isn't he closing down the DP? While his latest post would suggest he will be closing it down, experience tells us he's just in one of his moods. Why does he do it? Attention? Fundraising perhaps? Or maybe he really is shutting her off for real this time. Who knows. I'm trying to convince some others to come over here just in case one day we go to log on and it isn't there anymore. But there are some who are hell bent on sinking with the ship when it goes down.
 
While I admit I was never a DP person from the outside Nystrom seems like a real crybaby...

I understand that being involved in this, taking the intellectual red pill if you will, is not at all easy and can be very burdensome. But Good Lord... you've got this gigantic following of people you've been luckily enough to bring together and influence and instead of just selling the site like Bryan did with RPFs he drags his entire base along for his emotional rollercoaster.

And I would remind him, as hard as it is, always remember the rule Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell came up with Day 1 in DC - "If we're not having fun we're not doing this right."

I understand that times are a lot different, and much more dire now, but if it's such a chore for him to deal with the stress then he should hand it over or end it...

Again... I admit I was never a DP person.
