Attention Displaced DP Members

Unknownuser said:
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...

I think basically he's a politically naive person who's butthurt about the movement shifting toward Rand, and so he's decided to scuttle the ship in protest (whining all the way out).

I've had this "reprise" feeling over there, for a few months. Like the ending of "The Wizard of Speed and Time", or the begining and end of the first "Muppet Movie": all the characters are sitting in the theater, watching the movie.

That feeling is over.

Right now I feel like we're watching the credits. Unknownuser's comments about drama are sinking in. I don't need this, and in fact I'm still paying for it.

I tried to spider my user page so I wouldn't lose my posts and comments. It hasn't worked so far; if anyone has experience doing such a thing I'd appreciate pointers. I tried Heritrix and HTTrack. The former kept giving errors with default configuration; the latter ran for over a day but when browsing the backed-up site, it doesn't show up the same (likely CSS got dropped; everything is "on the left" rather than being laid out in columns).

Great to see you, HVACTech! I've missed you over at the DP.

From what I can tell all the ads that used to be there are all gone, he used to make a couple grand a month at least in ad money. The top one, usually some gold outfit, was going for 600-G$ years ago and the big ones on the right hand side were 200$+ a month. So, it's like they took some destructive turn a couple years ago when they stopped participating in fundraising for liberty candidates while doing more pushing for the LP. And, steadily their traffic has dried up from where it was because people were sick of it plus paying for a membership. While it's kinda the off season here, most people still check in and peruse but become way more active like coming up here when Rand announces his run. I joined DP in the first month it was online and then here shortly afterwards but generally thought this place had a better format so I stuck around.

Never was a DP guy.

Thought the thread format was kludgy and hard to follow.

Oh and this^ guy is cool too. I just wonder whether he signed the friend statement of intent on the FSP site. Heck, I wonder if he has enough decency to support Rand at this point.? Federali
 
No,I wasn't scared off,this site has always confused me.never really grasped the format styles.The DP was user friendly(almost stupid proof :))
A commenter posted about "real men are not afraid of getting lost" I got lost here from day one...And at this point,I am hoping this comment gets pointed to the comment from where it started

i always reply with quote so I know my comment is being directed towards the specific comment for which I was replying. Not sure if that's the right way to do it but that is how I roll.

It would be nice to get a notification when someone replies to your reply.

We will figure this place out. Just give it some time.

hey Deacon! great to see you!

yeah, the DP was also the very first website I found... at the time, I thought it was easier too.
the only real drawback here... is that it is very difficult to find out if someone responded to a comment. (the DP alerted you)
the best way that I have found to monitor your conversations is to have a very low # of friends and click on my profile at the top.

great to see you here friend, hope you stick around!

No way that I know of. But you can subscribe to a thread so if anyone adds anything to it, you're notified. "Thread Tools" just above the first post of each page
 
"great to see you here friend, hope you stick around!".....That truly means a lot to me...good to see you as well,nope not Deacon,just lil ole me,deacon
If and when I figure this site out,my contributions will come here.
Again,happy to see a familiar face.Give me something to build I am happy and most likely complete that task.give me a website....well,thats another matter :)
I recently built a rocket mass heater,works excellent,and have already built an aquaponics system...Not bragging,just letting others know how I roll
Now,back to figuring this site out
