What do you do when DU is down?

[tkmorris]

Myself, I visited Democrats.com and a few others. Ran into a few DU'ers along the way, but not as many as I'd hoped. I was kinda wondering what sites the rest of you go to when DU goes kablooey for a few hours. I missed you all you see :)

12. Bang on back doors all day!

I usually check DU 2 or 3 times each day, but not being able to get in was infuriating! I tried every back door on the net several times today!

I really value the opinions and analysis of DUers!

[Dudley_DUright]

13. A few DUers had a thread going at the Smirking Chimp website

The other backup forum is at Bartcop, but it is apparently still down.

[doni_georgia]

31. LOL -

Came in from work, immediately went to sign on DU and it was DOWN! I was sure it was some right-wingnut hackers! I found myself continuing to hit refresh. Thankfully it was back up within about 10 minutes - otherwise I probably would have hit refresh for hours myself. I am hopelessly addicted and I have only been on this forum a week!

[Auntie Bush]

30. I went to Clark Community Network

and low and behold...there was a letter form Wes Clark...so I wrote him a note and invited him to come here to Democratic Underground and see all the support we Wes Clark Democrats have for him.

Frankly...I'm also addicted to this site and it was a bummer not to have it up and running. Hey...I want my money back!

[struggle4progress]

32. I panicked!

It can't be true! I should have given them money! It can't be true! I really should be volunteering for Kerry! It can't be true!

As soon as DU was back up, I printed out the mail-in form and cut a check. I better start volunteering for Kerry pronto, too, if I don't want more bad karma crashing down on me!

What a relief to see you back! I get the shakes if I can't see the Top 10 weekly.
