You have two nominations for greatest page! C'mon, number 3!!

I think your original topic AND the issue of threads being moved need to be discussed!!

6. Yep, things seem mighty capricious around here of late
and lots of 'regulars' feel the same.

8. It's the primary reason I have not contributed.
When we express our opinions about the 9/11 threads being sent to the 9/11 forum (some call it the dungeon) where no one sees them and the election 2004 threads being moved to where they can not easily be noticed or found, we receive no response to our request.

Some might call it a lack of consideration, concern or courtesy.

And yet, when the DU fund drive arrives, we receive emails and solicitations for our money.

I have no problem donating, I have contributed consistently to this website. I love what has been created and I want to see it thrive. However, if DU might consider, or not reciprocating to those of us who contribute regularly in kind with more consideration and courtesy.

11. Well said! I have had several threads
moved to the 911 forum - most of them to do with 7/7 (and last I checked, that was on 7/7 not 9/11). It is infuriating.

I have been a faithful donor but this last thread move which mentions 9/11 and 7/7 but was about FUTURE drills may be the last straw and DU may have seen my last donation until the censorship stops.

PS - don't get me wrong - I love DU, but am discouraged as of late.

10. You must be one of those kooky conspiracy theorists
;)

Argh. I can see why you are frustrated. It seems so arbitrary sometimes. Especially since that forum has such a specific name.

I know this topic should probably be directed to the admin in an email instead of a thread, but fwiw I am on your side.

15. 9-11 is one of the most important topics of our time...
...and I still don't understand why DU hides these discussions in the dungeon.

Yes...there are many 'conspiracy theories' floating around and some of them aren't worth discussing. But the effort to keep the theories off the board also discourages sincere debate about the event that 'changed everything'.

Per DU rules, you need to contact an admin if you have questions about DU policy. Public outbursts are not acceptable.
