Update Following Forum Crash!

[CGP]

Well, seems we have recovered all the subforums except the main one thus far. Still trying to salvage it! It had 1,000 threads and 12,000 posts so I won't be happy if its gone...

But we are 3/4 of the way back to normality...

[OkieforHRC2008]

I'm just glad this little bit is up. Do we know what happened yet?

Good luck. I'd be sad if the main room completely disappeared!

You and me both. It had 12,000 posts.

[joeysky18]

it's better than nothing. we can build it up again.

I'm sure we've all got some key stuff backed up on our own computers to build everything up again.

[Soaring Eagle]

So it's possible that we lost all that info? That would be upsetting to say the least!:mad:

To be expected.

Democratic Underground is a VILE site that willingly allows the hatred, victimization and abuse of other groups. The site is already facing legal action. Seemingly it wants some more? It may just get it from me.

It may take more LEGAL ACTION against Democratic Underground before the OWNERS take action to stop members participating in the hateful denigration and slander of other people/groups who do not support BARACK OBAMA. Yes, DU participates in the HATRED and ABUSE of people and groups who do not support BARACK OBAMA. So, in this regard, Democratic Undeground is playing a direct role in SUPPORTING HATE based on the basic of political preference.

[Patricia GA]

I am so glad we have as much as we do. Thanks for all the hard work that the moderators have done and continue to do.

OOPS. Just caught the update on the front page.:o

[MarkMiller]

Glad your back

[floorrunner]

I am so glad the site is back. I came here several times every day, since I found the forum, just to get my news about Hillary. I feel like everyone here is a family to me.

[CGP]

And now it's moving like a race car....

When for the last 2 days it was moving like a damn snail....

[davo_pa]

Hey guys at least its back on and we have our place to discuss ideas and events that are happening. We can always rebuild as new scoop comes up everyday.

Hopefully Mr. Murray will figure it out and we will not have to worry about it. Thanks Murray for being on top of things!

I could not imagine myself having the motivation to go on without the push of positivity i get day by day from this community. Here we stand, until the end. :cool:

[SunnyInCal]

Right, sometimes you don't completely appreciate something until it's gone.

I just felt LOST today, nowhere to go where I knew others would appreciate my input and I would find valuable contributions by other Hillary supporters. Another thread talked about a back up site but I don't know what that was. Is there a back up site we can go to next time?

And yes, THANKS Murray

[PuppyDogMom]

I've been wondering...if this was a general attack on the internet, why aren't we hearing about it from the msm? I haven't heard a word. Has anybody else?

That lack of coverage causes me to believe that it was a targeted attack.

[KYWildcatFan]

I am so glad we are back. I sure missed everyone. I hang out in Murray's forum just about all day and well into the night. It may not be 100% but we wont let that stop us.

I have to give a huge thanks to Murray for his emails to me explaining what, to his knowledge, was going on. A huge thanks and many hugs to ya Murray.

Today I wont be able to hang out in the forum. I have to take my grandson to the hospital for surgery. As soon as I get back I will be checking the forum.

You all have a wonderful day!!!

I couldn't respond to all the emails but I tried!

I am currently restoring all of the threads in the main room - about 1/3 way through them. So in an hour or 2 we should be back to normal!

[Brooke]

I'm so glad we're back, I didn't know what to do with myself last night.

I wonder if it was just an overload or bandwith problem or if this site was really attacked? I'd hate to think people hacked into this forum. I've seen this kind of thing on other message boards though, so it's pretty common.

Thanks for getting us back, Murray and for all the hard work you do! We'll rebuild.

[KYWildcatFan]

Thanks Murray for your well wishes for my grandson.

Thanks for doing all you are doing to get the forum back. We are patient people so don't over do yourself.

I was thinking yesterday......it's not fair to you that we all contact you in a situation as we have just incountered........so what about an email tree. My son's school has a phone tree. In case something unexpected happens the teacher calls 5 people then those 5 call 5 people. The whole class is covered. What if we did an email tree in case this were to happen again. You email 10 people then those ten email 25 people. With you being the administrator you have your self busy enough you cant be expected to do all the emailing. Let others help you. I would be more than happy to be a branch of am email tree. It's just a suggestion.

[mjoynaples]

Hello all... glad to see everyone back as much as we are... WOW this is unbelieveable... I did find that very link last night and was also quite disturbed this is just sick... so much for freedom... that is just vile!

I sure hope it works out Murray for you to get everything back will think good thoughts for your efforts... thanks again for doing this!

[eyedoc333]

Phew! I was wondering what was going on. I hadn't been able to log on for awhile and was getting error messages. It's good to see the site back up.

Glad we're back. I was having withdrawal and actually went to bed at a decent hour. It was horrifying.

[luvhillary]

Thank God we are back on! I was seriously having some withdrawl symptoms! Anxiety, paranoia, insomnia, mood swings, etc. Murray---Thank you for dedication to this site!

I actually just went there - for the heck of it - for the first time. I usually stay away from BO sites. Those people actually think we're the ones with problems. They're delusional.

again mucho gracias and glad to see everyone back and yes, as somene already mentioned back to business....

Yes, do we know if this site was hacked? Are there any confessions on that vile web site? I know that for me, this site had been moving verrryyy slowly lately.

[BooskerD]

Oh man. I feel like i could rip someones head off after reading that and i am not a violant person!

I just went back and read more of their posts, and I'm furious!

A prominent elected official in my area called my partner and I and left a message on our answ. machine urging us to donate to the democratic party. As an FYI, my partner and I have generously donated to democratic candidates and causes in the past, but we've become disenchanted of late. How are we supposed to be excited about the democratic party when Howard Dean, the DNC and MSM are "ordaining" a candidate that half of us don't want? When I see buffoons like those people at the underground site making fun of us, it just strengthens my resolve to vote for McCain in the general election if Hillary doesn't win the democratic nomination. I refuse to fall into line!

[abbywilson9]

Hi:

Good for you. I could vote for John McCain because I think that he is a great American. He remained in a horrible Vietnam Prisoner of War Camp, and let others go in front of him, when he could have been released.

He also greatly admires Hillary Clinton. However, even John McCain knows that he does not have Hillary's brilliance for business, solving problems regarding the economy and health care. Nevertheless, Senator McCain is a great American in my opinion.

I think Hillary could win as an Independent and win with a huge landslide victory. The people want her. In my opinion, the news media prints more lies than truth. I am shocked at how the “Good ole Boys Club” are so opposed to women in leadership positions. Who would have thought that of Ted Kennedy.

I am now an Independent due to many situations just like this.

We really need Hillary and I believe that she is much further along in the polls than is being reported.

If Michigan and Florida are not counted, then this is not a legal election. A true democracy would not ignore the votes/voices of over 3 million citizens.

With kind regards,

Abby

yes. those people at du are "the youth who will be running the country"? i certainly hope not. i find it funny the place has the nerve to call themselves "democratic" anything at all.

the dnc and the democratic party has made it very clear that my vote, my state, has no say in this election. i will not support them now as they try to crown the "man they chose".

Thanks for all your hard work, Murray!

Funny, I've never felt the slightest interest in or need to troll the BO sites...wonder what they're so curious [threatened] about?

[Bacio83]

I'm guessing there's no way to block visitors and to delete new accounts that have no posts after a week?

Sorry I've been on so many forums that have been hijacked. It's not just political ones shipper forums are always messed with. But we usually have a no troll/visitor and no posts after a week = banned.

Just a suggestion if it's possible.

LOL I love how Obamabots think that they're so young and that no HRC supporters know their way around a computer. Personally I'm just a nicer person I wouldn't hack into their site, but don't temp me. ;)

[Bacio83]

Coming from someone who's in the generation Obamabot I'll say this they're the youth that will be bankrupt and homeless by the time they're old enough to run for President. There's the youth movement and the dumbass movement.... in Obama's case he's the latter.

[abbywilson9]

To Barack Obama, his site, and his arrogant and hateful fans.

Hi:

Write this down and etch in stone. There are two types of people in this world. The humble and the fixing to be humble.

Your arrogance is your down fall and your destruction. You are your own destruction. "Pride goes before a great fall and a haughty spirit before destruction."

Unfortunately, just like Obama's preacher you know nothing of the Holy Scriptures.

"He who laughs last laughs loudest." When Hillary wins the election by a landslide, what are you going to say?

By the Grace of God, she shall win by a land slide and she will help this nation. There are more great Americans among us than impolite thugs like you.

Shame on you and your Obama voting mama for not teaching you better manners. You must also watch Oprah.

Abby

[CQ4Hillary]

I didn't see any buttons for reporting abusive posts. I did see one that was deleted by the MOD and I'd be willing to bet it was a pro-Hillary post. I think that's the only "free speech" they don't allow. :rolleyes: Whatever!

Trolls will be trolls but we have a responsibility to be better than that.

If it turns out that the site was hacked I think legal action is definitely in order. :mad:

[MassLib]

I'm confused over the amount of bandwidth spent on wondering if a bunch of spankers hacked this site. It feeds paranoia. If I may be so brash may I suggest not giving into the myth that anyone cares what du says or does? If you read other sites all over the www/net du is not considered sane. I know some here were there before. Let this be a lesson.

A well balanced person has political opponents and not enemies.

Look at what Hillary did with Republicans and conservatives in NY State. Her example is to be followed as well as admired.

As a US Senator, Hillary Clinton has reached across the aisle and the ideological divide to opponents who had treated her as an enemy. She showed grace and maturity and class where it would've been understandable to do otherwise. In her actions she showed us the way to deal with those who are serious yet misguided as opposed to those who are filled with hate, fear and self-loathing.

my two cents

[hipelayne]

that are gloating about the hacked site. The Clinton backers have mostly left the site and branched off to form their own site......At DU they "tombstone" a user because he/she says something.that the MODS find not proper.they also have a inner mass system to their "click" to alert for abuses and to get the Clinton supporters off the board.....the board use to be a peaceful place.but the O's have taken control....and now it is no longer neutral...:mad:

Wwow! Thank goodness I got back here! I just went to the DU and that was the first and probably last time I go to that vile site!

GREAT WORK MURRAY ON GETTING US BACK UP! Thanks :)

[MassLib]

Wwow! Thank goodness I got back here! I just went to the DU and that was the first and probably last time I go to that vile site!

[HRH Jorge]

It really is unbelievable what some people will do. And all these supposed "liberal" believers are engaging in tactics that are right out of the Republican play book!

Everyone here should know they are making a difference for Hillary's nomination. Without this site, my hopes for taking it all the way to Denver would have diminished slowly.

Having the reinforcement that HRC really does have the support of an engaged and concerned electorate (besides the 13 million people who've voted for Hillary already) energizes me.

I saw that. Suffice to say, I can't look over there anymore. It's too depressing, and I want to stay positive and upbeat.

[endodoc79]

We all thank you for your efforts. I want to cross-reference something I posted earlier on cyberbullying and tracking down hackers:
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/showthread.php?t=5436, which may be appropriate here.
New laws are being formulated, but this is an example of technology being ahead of the law. I also want to stress the need to reinstate the Fairness in Media Act as a talking point for tomorrow's protest. We are a nation of laws, and we need to remember that, but the law moves slowly. But I can't stress enough -keep your eye on the prize - the election of Hillary Rodham Clinton our next PRESIDENT OF THE US.

[Musicdude]

If the person responsible is found, file a report with the District Attorneys office in the county in which they reside. Get a case number. Then it's official. Then send the info to the media. It's a reflection on their candidate, and the public should know.

[hillary4change]

I read every post over at that vile narrow minded site last night. What I learned is, these people are not very intelligent. They have no motivation other than hate.
They mock our posts, when you read what it is that they think we said, it is laughable.
Shows you what the MSNBC etc. really knows, they report that the BO zombies are more intelligent and better educated than we are, yet they can't even understand the simplest of our concepts and ideas.
The higher minded posts leave them utterly confused, they repeat what their lower comprehension level allows them to understand and there is zero understanding of the concepts, ideas or even things that are HISTORY and taught in school!!
I guess thats what smokin dope and raggin on people does to a young inexperienced mind...it stagnates!!
They only run people down that haven't been influenced by the Kool-Aide!!
You notice that they are not pro-active for their candidate..they aren't off their butts actually doing something positive!! They are mad that we can organize and get "stuff done, as BO says".
If you read the blogs out there you realize people that really are intelligent don't want to be associated with these thug types. The ones that do still want BO to win are calling on the hate mongerers to stop. That Hillary supporters do have the power to make BO lose in the G.E., if his thug supporters don't prevent him from making it that far. These are the same thugs that are reported on in the caucuses.These are the ones that BO lets do his dirty work as he preaches change, while people think he has clean hands but again...I can see the filth on them!!
That is all the energy I will give trolls with no purpose in their confused lives..I feel sorry for them!!!

[mooaks]

Glad we're back on Murray. You do such a good job with this site Murray, and believe me it shows.

i thought that making the site "members only" was the solution. but when i thought it out, even that woudn't stop them if they are determined. if this site is made "members only", all they need do is register. as long as an ob troll is registered and only looking, he/she hasn't violated the rules here. so, guess we can ignore them. they go on and on like they have on du, just shows, to me anyway, that they are both uneducated, lack the ability to think, and are scared. :)

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

Thanks so much, Murray. I, too, hope the perpetrators of this invasion are discovered and get what's coming to them.

I'm bitterly disappointed by the actions and mentality of those who feel they must disrupt a website because they don't agree with its members/posts/threads. I can't imagine having nothing more constructive to do in life. This is the first election in a long time that has generated so much excitement and to have it marred by so much hatred and rancor is awful.

Thanks again for all you do.

[Tea toaD]

I'm happy and contented again:rolleyes: Thanks for the hard work.

i thought that making the site "members only" was the solution. but when i thought it out, even that woudn't stop them if they are determined. if this site is made "members only", all they need do is register. as long as an ob troll is registered and only looking, he/she hasn't violated the rules here. so, guess we can ignore them. they go on and on like they have on du, just shows, to me anyway, that they are both uneducated, lack the ability to think, and are scared. :)


True that's why I've been to forums that delete an inactive member if they have no posts after a week. You could always have mod/admin approval and then check the email addy just in case but that's time consuming. *shrugs* it's like 007 up in here. :)

[Peppermint Patty]

And now it's moving like a race car....

When for the last 2 days it was moving like a damn snail....

Despite saying everything was secure I kept worrying when the site slowed down... what if? And then boom, it happened. How can they hack the site? Is freedom of speech a thing of the past in this country just so a lying sack of you-know-what can steal the nomination for Prez of the Democratic party?

It seems to me that a faction of Democrats have become vigilantes. If you don't say or believe the way they do, knock them down and don't let their voices be heard. Really? Is that how it's going to be? And these are the youthful voters they crave so badly??? You know what, screw them. Who needs these self-centered a**holes anyway. Go back to your IPods and text messaging and your violent video games. Or just grow the f**k up!!

Mad as hell and NOT going to take this anymore!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

No. It just means the thread has been removed. Not all threads are great choices so some get removed.

i have a bad memory. murray i think you explained this to me before. :)

i forgot. thanks for explaining again. :o

Hi:

Good for you. I could vote for John McCain because I think that he is a great American. He remained in a horrible Vietnam Prisoner of War Camp, and let others go in front of him, when he could have been released.

He also greatly admires Hillary Clinton. However, even John McCain knows that he does not have Hillary's brilliance for business, solving problems regarding the economy and health care. Nevertheless, Senator McCain is a great American in my opinion.

I think Hillary could win as an Independent and win with a huge landslide victory. The people want her. In my opinion, the news media prints more lies than truth. I am shocked at how the “Good ole Boys Club” are so opposed to women in leadership positions. Who would have thought that of Ted Kennedy.

I am now an Independent due to many situations just like this.

We really need Hillary and I believe that she is much further along in the polls than is being reported.

If Michigan and Florida are not counted, then this is not a legal election. A true democracy would not ignore the votes/voices of over 3 million citizens.

With kind regards,

Abby

Welcome to the forum.:)

[Peppermint Patty]

I responded in the previous post like that because I'd followed the link to the DU and it was the first time I'd read any of their posts. I was angry because they were gloating that this site might have been hacked. They seem to think we're a joke. Well to them I say, who cares what you think? If one or more of their members hacked this site then YES we have every reason to be mad at them!

This was the very reason I never went over there to read anything. From hearing about how much Clinton bashing was going on over there I knew I didn't need to read their garbage.

So, thank you Murray for all you do. It seems to me that no matter what time I come here you are always online! I often wondered IF you sleep! Now I know you probably don't get enough shut eye. You are amzing. What dedication and energy.

Thank you! :)

i am sure this is the wrong thread for this but the quote above made me get this idea. what if hillary were to ditch the democratic party, as they have clearly ditched her, and were to be john mccain's running mate?

i would love that!!!

eta - okay, it is a silly idea, but i can have "hope" too. :)

Cute. But they really do have philosophical differences -- and Hillary should be the President, not VP on the ticket. I am appalled at the idea of four more Republican years if the worst happens, but am prepared to vote McCain if HRC isn't the nominee. I will hold my nose when I punch "McCain" but I'll do it without a thought for Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry, the DNC and the MSM who shoved this man down our very sore throats.

Which is why we don't go there. Keep positive and Hillary WILL win this nomination and become our President. Period.

[candyrose9460]

this is crazy! they need to leave us alone.. obama's voters sure are crazy, messing with this site....................................

[Arkansas Hillarized]

Sure glad to see this back in form - talk about frustration last night! For a minute there, I thought it was something I said LOL... and yes.. I looked for a bit into the DN site.. it was disgusting to say the least. These people have absolutely no class at all and their comments were not impressive, to say the least! A majority of them bordered on the inane and illiteracy. Nothing meaningful at all.

It's just cyber trash, that's all and should be treated as such (after they are done with the lawsuit (s) filed against them.

[Hillary-in-the-Box]

that are gloating about the hacked site. The Clinton backers have mostly left the site and branched off to form their own site......At DU they "tombstone" a user because he/she says something.that the MODS find not proper.they also have a inner mass system to their "click" to alert for abuses and to get the Clinton supporters off the board.....the board use to be a peaceful place.but the O's have taken control....and now it is no longer neutral...:mad:

I wonder if the Obama Campaign is aware of how their supporters are behaving there? I would think it would be a major embarrassment to the campaign.

[smsemedic]

wow...scarey place......that DU.
yuck!
well, the good thing is that we see the true colors of O people. no wonder they are voting for a man like that....they don't know any better.
well, we need to continue to take the high road....that brings the rewards.
what we have here is fabulosooooo........and they know it.
kudos to everyone here!!!

[RayinAR]

I didn't have this many withdrawl systems since I quit smoking last year. I couldn't breathe and was having night sweats. Man I am glad to have my fix back. Having to rely solely on the Official site was awful. Blogging is so much easier here.

[pjperry]

So glad it is back up.:)

[LJSNAustin]

There's the youth movement and the dumbass movement.... in Obama's case he's the latter.

:D Great one!!! LOVE IT!

[ZY123]

The DU is the stupidest website I've ever seen - hate the place. I know they tried to hack another Hillary site (some sort of offshoot of their board that the Hillary supporters that left the place created) so I wouldn't be surprised if they were behind it. A bunch of whiny members of the "I'm special" generation with nothing better to do with their time - ack - talk about problems with America's future.

As for those that say Hillary supporters aren't educated I guess that means my Master's degree means nothing? :cool: Morons.

I'm assuming all offending DU people that come over here to cause problems are being IP banned - that will help with the ones that actually show themselves at least.

[PuppyDogMom]

It's good to be home, isn't it? I've got another fund-raising idea: If we all threw in a nickel for everytime Murray got a well-deserved compliment, Hillary would have tons of money!!!:D:D

Thanks, Murray...and thanks everyone else for being here and being such good people.

[El Cuco]

I am having trouble posting, I keep getting the message that I am not allowed to post...... that never happened before.
I am so happy that the forum is back on and I hope you can find out who did it. Also I hope you have a great turnout tomorrow, good luck , I will be with youin spirit!

[Christines]

It could have been a lot worse!!! I was happy it was up so quickly!

[Christines]

He is talking about George Soros and Ayres, etc.

[suerw]

Oh man. I feel like i could rip someones head off after reading that and i am not a violant person!

I guess we just have to consider the source. It's pure trash talk.

Abby, I can relate to what you say. A few years back I supported Ross Perot because it appeared that neither major party was really listening to the voters. Rather, the special interests were driving the campaigns. And here we are in our Party with a chance to nominate Hillary, a candidate who DOES listen to the people, who has sound proposals for solutions to the problems that really affect American people, and what's happening? The "good ole boys" hand in glove with major media are doing everything they can to torpedo her campaign.
Bottom line, Obama simply does not have the experience or the judgement I want to see in a Presidential candidate. And the deeper one digs, the more this comes into question. And, yes, character counts.
Like you, I respect John McCain as a man of character. He doesn't have the depth on economic issues that Hillary does, I agree. But if Hillary is not our nominee, I will seriously consider being a "28%-er."

[Cooney]

OMG, I feel like a drug addict. Not being able to get on the site was horrible. I had to watch TV. My hubby was happy, but man what withdrawals I went through. :D

[Johnf]

Not only that but then it stops many from gathering on here to discuss plans and get meeting info


That was the intention, however it backfired and I am noticing that this forum is better, stronger, better prepared, organized and bigger than ever. It's drawing a lot of people, it's got more fight in it, and the determination is there. They couldn't stop us no matter how hard they tried. We'll keep the very important information from the Obama camp. :D

[emmyCA]

Murray,

Can we have a good daily backup of the site to other location (not local machine)??? Incase it is down again, we can switch it to another server, domain, etc. We should have email list of all members stored and archived somewhere else so if the site down, you can send email to let all members know that they need to use other temporary location.

Thanks for your hard work to have the site up again. We cannot live with out it:D

[Viktoriya]

We need this site running!

[OkieforHRC2008]

Me too - I was so confused and picked up an email wishing me Happy Birthday on the 7th - it felt good. Thank you but I replied asking if I had been kicked out of the forum and I honestly was very unhappy and lost without this amazing place to vent and hear and listen and vote vote vote and blog, of course.

I felt lost too. I was so glad that it came back so quickly. I'm addicted and proud of it. This forum is an amazing outlet for those of us supporting Hillary.

Thank goodness for this place or I might lose hope. There's too much Anti-Hillary out there. Tis a scary internet now.

~~OkieforHRC2008

I voted for the one person who has solutions, not just words.

[ActionJackson]

And my understanding is that CYBER STALKING is ILLEGAL!

I have reported the Ob**a campaign of WV because they kept sending me emails. I repeatedly emailed them back to ask how they got my name and email address, to no avail. I consider that cyber-stalking and told them I am fully aware that it is illegal.

So, I contacted the WV Democratic party and got some asinine answer that made no sense. I am waiting to resolve it and then I will post the whole exchange here... in case others are having the same trouble.

THANKS SO MUCH MURRAY, FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND PUTTING YOUR HEART INTO THIS SITE.

I knew something was up when I couldn't log on.

What goes around comes around. Obamatrons will not have their candidate as the nominee. America is too smart for that, I pray.

[DarrellP]

What happened? I was kicked off the site for no reason, I just joined the group last week and only posted twice, this was very weird to me, I'm glad I came back to see if I could log in or not, and found out the site has been hacked, I bet it was an Obama Supporter, who tried to shut the site done before the protest in Penn for Hillary, this is very cruel and I hope the people responsible for this are caught and fined.

[SD]

i would have difficulty saying the ob people caused this site to crash,,,,but,,,it does seem strange that our site and no quarter both went down together. makes one wonder.
