The Daily Paul is Frozen

[Suzanimal]

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.

Weird. If you log in you can see new stuff but if you're logged out it appears there have been no new posts for a couple of days. The site is running very slow.

That is incredibly weird, I did not notice that. Now that I looked, I can confirm that you are correct.

ya know. that makes sense in a way.
why not freeze up the screen for every one who is not on the "ark"?

I was on yesterday and this morning and it seemed fine. My bookmark is the forums, not the front page. Tried just now and got Server Not Responding.

The ark?

 

[Matt Collins]

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

Fixed that for you.

 

[green73]

Fixed that for you.

How professional of you.

Pretty fucking sad to see a troll with a chip on his shoulder from being banned over there come here and start a shit show so easily. Divide and conquer, right, Matt?

 

[HVACTech]

The ark?

they had the same problem we do with trolls, shills and religious disputes.
first religious discussion was banned. then registration was closed off.

I bolted when the owner started using sockpuppets.

The ark?

maybe you weren't invited.

Some others, too:

Was too.

 

[HVACTech]

Was too.

well, Dear.

I often picture you as a VelocitiRaptor, of the female persuasion.

Nope. I'm an ewok.

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?

The only reason that many of us were hating on the Daily Paul was that its owner was threatening to close it down for no reason.

If you're unhappy that the DP is shutting down, direct your complaints to Michael Nystrom; he and he alone is responsible.

the owner was shutting it down in good season. (his words, not mine)

around here, we can deal with trolls, shills and religious discussion.
and not to worry, we have plenty of VelociRaptors around here.

and the Ewoks frolic!

I never got into DP. The user interface (while very 2004) is still better than DP. To me, RPF has a better vibe, more ancap/libertarian.

ok well I guess I'll come back to this side for my fix. I guess I'll start with a fresh new handle because I cant see myself roamin around here with this red scarlet letter on my face. Let me think of a few names.

The mods here seem cool too.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Your name does not matter. Your acct does not matter. Your thoughts, the ones you have the power to self manage, or allow others to control reflect your behavior, and your behaviour determines your reputation. If you make good and true liberty oriented and respectful posts, we all become colorblind to your red scarlet letter. We can just as easily make that very same red letter a green one if you so desire, but it matters little if your mind is not free and your thoughts are your own. Do your thoughts serve you, or make you freely serve?

Liberty comes from the idea that we can work together without supervision. We are not children. We do not need to be micromanaged in every microscopic detail of our lives. Those who call for more Govt intervention are the ones that end up in the red. Those who show an inability to hold onto an idea that not everyone agrees with end up in the red. Those who continuously fall for the Propoganda end up in the red. Those who choose only between the choices they are offered and are too foolish to ask whether or not the choices themselves are what limits our freedoms end up in the red. We will never agree on everything. It simply is not possible. I dont agree with many people here on many details, but it does not mean I dont respect them as a person. When we lose respect for the individuals based solely on one trivial fact, then we are behaving like children and would need a parastic government to dictate every details of our lives, and we all deserve to be in the red. The "Red" is the difference between "Red" of Russia meaning Communism, but at its heart, it is Collectivism is at war with our own colors of Red, White, and Blue. Its the age-old dichotomy between Communism and Capitalism, and every day, this country itself turns further and further "Red".

We know something is deeply wrong. We point out the details daily. Yet, time and time again, most of us here keep coming back to the same conclusion, the Constitution is the answer to the Patriot Act, and every other despicable piece of legislation that comes after. Those who have the ability to decide for themselves without interfering with others are the ones that end up with lots and lots of Green. So again, your name does not matter. You can start over if you really wish, but the Admins and Mods may very well frown upon that. You really may want to do some self reflection and think about how you ended up in the Red to begin with. If you do not learn from your mistakes, just as we still learn from ours, then you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes that have occured countless times through out human history. Your mind will never be out of the Red until you begin to think differently.

Trust me, all of us here get the anger. We get dealing with the depression aspects when we start to collectively think "we cant win". We deal with these things every single day. We get that you are angry and want to do something, but you can not push out the Darkness with more Darkness. Rage against the Dying of the Light of Liberty and change your own mind into the mind of a Free and Independant Man. Stand tall with us and we will fix that little Red Bub you got. It wont be hard for us.

I've been curious and rather agitated at the fact that no one has been able to say anything about it...at all.

I have come to these Forums to get some answers but nothing.

This is my first "anything" on the RonPaulForums (and I've been a member since early 2008) so I hope to find some questions to the answers I seek.

Make it worth while.
