The breaks between responses seem to have grown longer and longer, and the number of questions that go unanswered entirely seems to have increased, too.

DU3 was, after all, designed to be much less reliant on administrators than DU2, so I'm not surprised.

They not only monitor DU but also the Discussionist. They review all the alerts that MIRT deals with and they decide who needs to be banned. Plus there's all the technical stuff that needs to be taken care of.

I do think they try to get to the urgent questions, like the ones about money. The less urgent just get left behind.

It's a shame.

that the Admins could not answer it, nor can they bring themselves to consider any questions since that one. Their brains hurt.

(Hey jury: take a look at that forum, it's my own post I'm referring to.)

Is Skinner even around?

Perhaps skipped to a warmer climate in anticipation of - dare I say it? - a Cruz presidency?

Waiting, waiting. OK, still around, not hit by lightning.
