2. I went to Dailykos when Skinner's hamster wheel ran out of juice in two debates.

6. Thanks. Noted that you need to apply for inclusion so it's worthwhile to sign up before Tuesday.

10. That's where I will be I think.
The yahoo group is nice too, but I always get hung up in moderation. Plus posts tend to come in bursts. It's a good back up for informational links though in the case of a DU meltdown.

13. billyoc, did you set that up?
My original one was #DUDebate but we talked about adding a new room. Is this it?

24. No, I didn't set it up, but it was right after the last debate.
Actually it was set up right after the debate was over, so we'd have someplace to go when DU went Tango Uniform.

14. Thanks! I was trying to find that earlier.
I signed up at Yahoo, but this is probably going to be better for me. Thanks again!

15. I plan to drop in on FR and watch their heads explode.
Yeah, it's a petty thing to do, but it'll make me feel good...

18. Probably, but I'm going to try.
I'm not proud of it, but I can live with myself...

19. You're a braver person than me.
Make sure you bring back stories of exploding heads.

23. I promise. We're allowed to link to FR and I plan to bring the best.
The hard part will be paring down the tsunami of goodness...

16. Yeah well those of us that are technically challenged have a much better panic room
It is also better that you go now and register ahead of time

21. Grantcart, we may be twins that were separated at birth...
I work until 11:00pm on the fourth, so I'm stocking up on the 3rd. If DU goes down (realistically, even if it doesn't) I'm ready.

22. Hey A-S... you just sent a flood of new members to the Panic Room! HELP!!!
As some know, the panic room usually gets flooded around elections
as DU gets slammed.

We need some extra mods...

Unfortunately, we've had a few freepers volunteer for the gig
in the past, people who claim to be DUers, but trust me,
they are FREEPERS.

I will name know no names.

We need some volunteers to help out with the traffic
in the Panic Room... Freepers need not apply, I don't
care how many posts you have on DU, by now, I
pretty much have it figured out and so have the other Panic Room Mods.

PM me if you are the real deal and want to help out on election day.

Freepers posing as sincere DUers? FUCK YOU and don't even try...
been there, done that.

BHN
