With more octane! We've moved to a new server, give it a workout. Sorry about the inconvenience yesterday, today's a new day. Thank you for your patience.
..... was a request for those who already had some familiarity with c99p to assist those who were new, because I foresaw Markos' little temper tantrum.
A typical Diary around here draws maybe 50 comments.
My Diary (Attention Daily Kos Alumnae) now has more than 180, with 2 new ones available since the Great Crash of 2016. (!)
And I am gratified to see exactly that come to pass around here. c99p is what DK once was, and should have remained. With no ads.

For the past few weeks, I have been feeling like DK was a place that I could no longer relate to. Yesterday was the final nail in the coffin.
Watching the supporters of Clinton and Sanders has been fascinating, shocking and at times extremely depressing for me. It seems obvious that we need to bring about real change and yet so many people seem to prefer the status quo.
I'm Canadian so I don't get to vote in this contest (although I think I have convinced my registered Republican husband to vote for Sanders!). However what happens in the US has a huge influence on Canada and the rest of the world. We lost a lot of ground here under the Republican-inspired Harper government. Would love to see Trudeau encouraged in his progressive inclinations.

glad you made it. Thanks for the consultation last night. Did you notice you didn't hear a madman screaming from a westerly direction? The migration went smoothly, just like it's supposed to, whew!!
Sorry, had to content myself with the sour grapes of DKOS yesterday.
So, quick query, which among us is the "Open Racists" that certain kossacks are so keen to warn folks about on this site?
Honestly, I think it's me, and I'm actually starting to think of it as a badge of honor. If I'm going to be their devil, I'll be this one:
[video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkQrOugHOo8]
i guess it doesn't surprise me that somebody over at the gos said it, because of all of the crap that got tossed around at folks who were critical of obama.
did they name anyone in particular or was it one of the typical evidence-free accusations? do you have a link?
When I opened that link, I got delivered straight to Catte Nappe's comment where she violated my explicit instruction that no part of the "Attention Daily Kos Alumnae" essay was to be crossposted onto DK.
She probably knows I don't have the money to waste on lawyers enforcing what should have been a simple, honest request -- and honored.
Tells all of us what kind of people we've left behind, doesn't it?

I'm beginning to think that at least some of those accusations of being "lily-white racists" are coming from people who are lily-white themselves, and spend most of their quality time on Stormfront and the KKK sites. They're trying to get actual progressives to say actual racist stuff in reaction to their kluxbait to score points among their own.

Sorry, but until you can obtain the documentation from the accusers, I am afraid you cannot just usurp that title. Yeah, those McCarthy like lists, and the loyalty oaths.

It gets on my nerves, and you know how I am about my nerves...
The particular circumstances of this primary--the high AA support for Clinton, I mean--are, I feel, really just the way the cookie crumbled this time. A lot of the "lily white" people over there smugly using it as a cudgel against Bernie supporters could very easily see the situation flipped in the next cycle. Then they'll be on the other side of the "firing line," like a lot of them were in 2008.
There was one thread at DKos where a Clinton supporter suggested new site rules that included:
(c) Never suggest that any (Democrat) is the tool of any group or interest, or is not a true blue liberal, or has (or has used) more money than another.
This pretty obviously stemmed from a wish to shield you-know-who from those exact criticisms, so I suggested a few rules of my own, one of which was:
(a) Never deliberately try to divide the Democratic coalition along racial lines.
It was shot down by Clinton supporters.

Signed up yesterday, and was very happy to see a quick response to the influx of new people by getting a better server. Good show. I'm so happy to be at a place where we can discuss anything, and not worry about bands of authoritarians acting like judge, jury and executioner. I don't trust that lot of neoliberals for one second, they can enjoy their brand-new echo chamber. Thank-you again for the alternative.
Thanks for being on top of the situation and giving disenfranchised kos contributors and lurkers a place to be accepted, to communicate and carry on with effort and desire for real progressive politics.
went down (yesterday), I was trying to post a 'welcome' greeting, listing each new individual member's name. Since so many new names were popping up, I had to keep adding names, and never completed the welcome comment.
Frankly, I sorta like to think of C99P as not only a 'Lifeboat,' or safe haven, but as a 'fact-based' community.
Hey, look forward to meeting some of the 'faces' which are new to me, and visiting with many of those familiar ones that I haven't seen in a while (since I quit posting at DKos some months ago).
Again, kudos to JtC! As already mentioned, the formatting here is as user-friendly as it gets--thanks to his hard work and expertise.
Pretty sure that anyone who's been around a while will gladly give a hand to anyone who may need it. So, please, have at it!
Postscript:
I thought that I saw SLMD (DKos), who's handle here is Can'tStopTheSignal, just before the site went down, yesterday! So, a shout out to her, if my eyes weren't fooling me.

did they name anyone in particular or was it one of the typical evidence-free accusations? do you have a link?

Great progdog...
I'll be addressing that in my Sunday Open Thread tomorrow.
Thank-you
Signed up yesterday, and was very happy to see a quick response to the influx of new people by getting a better server. Good show. I'm so happy to be at a place where we can discuss anything, and not worry about bands of authoritarians acting like judge, jury and executioner. I don't trust that lot of neoliberals for one second, they can enjoy their brand-new echo chamber. Thank-you again for the alternative.
Progressive to the bone.

Thanks for being on top of
Thanks for being on top of the situation and giving disenfranchised kos contributors and lurkers a place to be accepted, to communicate and carry on with effort and desire for real progressive politics.
A hearty 'welcome' to all new members! When the server
went down (yesterday), I was trying to post a 'welcome' greeting, listing each new individual member's name. Since so many new names were popping up, I had to keep adding names, and never completed the welcome comment.
Frankly, I sorta like to think of C99P as not only a 'Lifeboat,' or safe haven, but as a 'fact-based' community.
Hey, look forward to meeting some of the 'faces' which are new to me, and visiting with many of those familiar ones that I haven't seen in a while (since I quit posting at DKos some months ago).
Again, kudos to JtC! As already mentioned, the formatting here is as user-friendly as it gets--thanks to his hard work and expertise.
Pretty sure that anyone who's been around a while will gladly give a hand to anyone who may need it. So, please, have at it!
Postscript:
I thought that I saw SLMD (DKos), who's handle here is Can'tStopTheSignal, just before the site went down, yesterday! So, a shout out to her, if my eyes weren't fooling me.

I can see one problem already with the format
What worked before doesn't work as well with all the new members.
You should swap "Who's Online" with "Recent Comments", otherwise comments get dropped down the list too fast without being noticed.
Hi g...
yeah, I'm thinking it might be best to put the Who's Online list back in the left sidebar as a link like we used to have it. It would still be able to be viewed on a page of its own but you'd have to click the link to see it. The who's Online list takes up too much space in the left sidebar.
