Not a single change on that site in 5 days.

I guess I had to drop in over here for a few. Zzzzzzzzz

Well I guess all of the people here who have hated on DP for no good reason can be happy now. One less pro Ron Paul site in a sea of worthless internet crap is a good thing right? :rolleyes:

Nope. There were some good topics from time to time.

I've tried to get in to the DP, but there are so many things I don't like about that site.

the owner is a bit of a snob, and only lets people sign up about once a year.

I did not hate it. I just like this format better. Different community, different culture over there but that isn't a bad thing. Er, wasn't, I guess. I do hate seeing yet another iconic RP site winding down.

Every now and then when I am feeling especially morose, I go through all my old RP bookmarks. When I see how many of them are 404 now, I get practically despondent. But 2007 and 2008 was a wonderful time to be alive, awake and active. I would not have missed all that for the world.

I signed up and made a few posts. I don't like the ethos there. Too liberal for me.

Well I don't usually interact with you, but here is a +rep for lamenting the demise of the DP.

Well, we're you bashing Rand or something? I bash Rand sometimes too, but I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I am going to support him. +rep anyways

That site's still around? I thought they were shutting it down?

nah I love rand and support all of his moves. I basically took a proactive stance with the Ferguson police shooting and got reemed out hard with no lube.

I guess I'm a proactive kinda guy.

Well, I'd probably agree with you there too. What exactly did you advocate?

I basically said that you should not provoke people with guns whether they are police are not.

If you don't want to be involved in an altercation with a cop then don't do stupid illegal things like steal shit from 7-11.

If you piss people off shots go flying.

Who here didn't agree with that?

My guess is the people who let an anti-police agenda (not saying they're wrong, but nonetheless) get in the way of realizing who the actual aggressor likely was in cases like that one.

wow.. looks like it really is froze up, since at least the 6th of this month..

I hate to see that, even though shutting it down, (heck, it was shut down, when it became the "ark")
had been discussed for a long time.

is this how he pulled the plug? :confused:

:o

I went to their FB page and it looks like articles are being published to it - I don't know if it's a bot. I also noticed some of the posts say this:

Site Offline/Pressflow

I logged in just fine. Its not exactly frozen, I saw some articles published today. The articles on the front page seem to have stayed the same for a couple days. And its been down a lot.
