I-L-L! I knew I liked you. |
I always get subpoenaed for the IP address of specific post or posts. I would fight any request for all posts from an address or all posts about some topic. Almost all cases involve defamation. Just for the record, I have very little tolerance for defamation by anonymous posters -- something I consider cowardly in most circumstances. If someone contacts me about a post they believe to be defamatory, I will normally remove it almost automatically. But most cases I encounter through subpoenas involve more than just DCUM. For instance, someone has defamed someone all over the place and other websites are also getting subpoenaed. |
I-N-I! |
This is a website user profile question. Where are the majority of anti Meghan Markle people posting from? I am suspecting that it has to be UK and states/areas that voted for Trump. |
Thanks! That is fascinating. |
In 2002, our friend Sharon Winick started arranging get-togethers for new moms. Our son was born about the same time as Sharon's daughter so Maria was included in the meet-ups. As the meet-ups got larger, they were organizing them through email and that was getting problematic as the number of people grew. I was managing mailing lists (listservs) for a few companies then and had all the hardware and software necessary to run them. So, I suggested starting a mailing list instead of relying on the "to" and "cc" fields of email. Maria and Sharon were moderating it and then people started using it for all sorts of parenting topics and it grew well beyond its original purpose. I wasn't really involved for a while but as the list grew, Sharon was too busy to stay involved and I started helping Maria. We created a website but it was only to help subscribe to the mailing list. Then, "nanny posts" -- nanny search and nanny available -- posts started taking over the mailing list and it was making it hard to find non-nanny posts. We decided to offload them to a forum on the website. In addition to the nanny search forums, we created a General Discussion forum. One day, we noticed that forum had a lot of traffic. Based on what we saw in that forum, we created a few more. Then they gained traction and it became clear that web discussion would be popular. Therefore, in 2007 I completely redid the forums to its current format. I was still working full-time and doing DCUM on the side. We had started running web ads without much expectations but after a few years we noticed significant year-to-year revenue growths. First Maria quit her job to work on DCUM full time. Revenue growth was so predictable that at some point I decided that I would be able to quit my job in three years. That's exactly what happened. Three years after that I quit and have being working on DCUM full time since then. Other than that three-year time period, nothing was ever really planed with DCUM and we never expected it to grow like it has. |
I have no idea. I have never checked. I spend as little time with those threads as possible. |
Do you think any “famous” people (politicians, celebrities, or otherwise) read and/or post on DCUM? Kind of like Hillary Clinton’s admitted fascination with HGTV. |
Do you delete a lot of posts about Bernie Sanders? I have noticed that my posts in favor of him are/were disappearing. This was mostly in the past. I am wondering if this is due to Bernie posters? Or are the replies these posts get offensive? Thanks.

I, too, suck. I think we may have a cohort! Lol. I have a Fender Tele, an Eastman oval hole archtop, and a Godin archtop - among others. And I take lessons - which adds to my fun. |
Has your view on what you might consider a misogynist, racist, mean, defamatory, or just plain nasty post that should be deleted shifted over the years?

why are you so liberal
and will you ever admit your liberal bias on things |
Merci What drove you study Arabic? |
Thanks for all you do, Jeff!
Are you aware of another site like this with a high HHI average among users/posters? |
Would you consider running for president? |
