yes, it is the "gd" part that at times is appropriate.

Thanks for the kick, BB! Sissyk Jul 2014 #3

Hey Sissyk. Baitball Blogger Jul 2014 #68

Things are good. Sissyk Jul 2014 #78

Join a group full of agenda fuled gossips who don't even enforce the SOP which is their only job? Bluenorthwest Jul 2014 #2

I'm sorry you feel that way, Bluenorthwest. Sissyk Jul 2014 #4

I am not speaking of contentious issues, I'm saying a group whose ONLY job is to enforce a simple Bluenorthwest Jul 2014 #7

Correct. Sissyk Jul 2014 #9

I think I've seen more unicorns. Sissyk Jul 2014 #15

Recommended. All DUers should try hosting, Autumn Jul 2014 #5

Truth! Sissyk Jul 2014 #11

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy... SidDithers Jul 2014 #6

You and I disagree a lot. We used to disagree about the value of 'hosts'. Bluenorthwest Jul 2014 #8

I think you'd find that we agree on a lot more than we disagree on...nt SidDithers Jul 2014 #28

I'm with you guys. BTDT. Frustrating beyond all belief. Tuesday Afternoon Jul 2014 #40

Be careful what you wish for. Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2014 #55

It's your choice Sissyk Jul 2014 #13

I'd suggest people volunteer a term or 2 on MIRT... SidDithers Jul 2014 #42

I agree with you there 100%. Sissyk Jul 2014 #45

I'm guilty of that. It's like a bio-rythm. Baitball Blogger Jul 2014 #71

That's for sure - TBF Jul 2014 #98

Absolutely, MIRT was a great experience. nt Bobbie Jo Jul 2014 #56

Well, thanks Sid! I love you too! nt ChisolmTrailDem Jul 2014 #18

Just so you know, Hosting will be changing in the near future. William769 Jul 2014 #19

I replied to Number 23 a few days ago with some thoughts... SidDithers Jul 2014 #26

WE will see what happens. William769 Jul 2014 #29

Not for every forum. GD is special, but some of the others are working quite well. uppityperson Jul 2014 #30

GD is special... SidDithers Jul 2014 #33

I always get a juvenile kick out of writing "gd host" or not a gd host uppityperson Jul 2014 #37

At times, yes. Sissyk Jul 2014 #41

You're gd right about that! cyberswede Jul 2014 #64

Agreed Bobbie Jo Jul 2014 #43

I agree with everything you've suggested. Sissyk Jul 2014 #81

I disagree. The problem isn't hosting, it's the lack of a clear vision on what that should entail. Gormy Cuss Jul 2014 #59

I'm for letting juries decide, too. aikoaiko Jul 2014 #80

I can see that for GD, but I wonder how well that would work for LBN. n/t winter is coming Jul 2014 #96

LBN is the one Forum that seems to work... SidDithers Jul 2014 #97

Oh hell no! Texasgal Jul 2014 #10

Thats fine and is your choice. Sissyk Jul 2014 #14

It should have been open read only from the start. kcr Jul 2014 #20

Well, looks like you get your wish. Sissyk Jul 2014 #22

We can only see the host threads if a host posts copies kcr Jul 2014 #25

Yes, if you are not a host somewhere in the great vastness that is DU, Sissyk Jul 2014 #27

When people only see the bad stuff kcr Jul 2014 #36

I disagree with you here. Sissyk Jul 2014 #39

I can't speak for everyone but I fail to see how hosting will improve my experience kcr Jul 2014 #46

And, that's up to you and it's a good thing. Sissyk Jul 2014 #48

BRING BACK THE MODS !! leftstreet Jul 2014 #16

What about the 100s of us that never had to Sissyk Jul 2014 #21

You think Mods were power freaks, but you weren't even here? leftstreet Jul 2014 #47

Where did I say mods were power freaks? Sissyk Jul 2014 #50

... leftstreet Jul 2014 #54

But where does that say I called them power freaks? Sissyk Jul 2014 #57

I never said you called them power freaks leftstreet Jul 2014 #67

Okay. Thanks for explaining. Sissyk Jul 2014 #73

You said this HangOnKids Jul 2014 #69

Please read the post to leftstreet Sissyk Jul 2014 #72

I have read the entire thread HangOnKids Jul 2014 #75

Okay. Sissyk Jul 2014 #76

wrong spot leftstreet Jul 2014 #52

Open and free, bigoted discussions. That's what we have here now. Gormy Cuss Jul 2014 #66

I hate open and free, bigoted discussions. Sissyk Jul 2014 #70

I don't think they'll go back to moderation. Gormy Cuss Jul 2014 #79

I agree with everything you said. eom Sissyk Jul 2014 #82

oh no thanks on that. The DU2 system had a lot of problems. Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #85

Great Post Sissyk. William769 Jul 2014 #17

Thank you, William! Sissyk Jul 2014 #23

You are definitely on my friends list! William769 Jul 2014 #31

Thanks, steve! Sissyk Jul 2014 #32

Looking forward to working with you again too ! :) nt steve2470 Jul 2014 #38

There are lots of forums people can sign up on, not just gd. uppityperson Jul 2014 #35

Yes, there is too much drama at times. Sissyk Jul 2014 #44

As long as the SOP for GD remains meaningless theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #49

Yes, we know as host that there are many, many Sissyk Jul 2014 #53

Nope. I have never hosted GD theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #61

No, I don't think you should do that. Sissyk Jul 2014 #65

Thanks sissy, but I actually think I would be a horrible host for GD theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #74

lol! at your last paragraph! Sissyk Jul 2014 #77

it isn't meaningless, it is intentionally vague. Yes there is a difference. nt. Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #86

Hopefully that is one of the issues EarlG will address theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #89

I rather doubt it. Warren Stupidity Jul 2014 #93

With those "guidelines"... theHandpuppet Jul 2014 #94

Yes people should give hosting and mirt a try. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #51

It is indeed that, justin! Sissyk Jul 2014 #62

Look foward to working with you. I think the sign up thread appears in the 17th. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #63

It's been three months already! Agschmid Jul 2014 #90

Yep. Much quieter therm than I expected. the next term will get busy for the election. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #95

Being a host is certainly a lesson in diplomacy! kentauros Jul 2014 #58

Thanks, kentauros. Sissyk Jul 2014 #60

I'd probably have to suggest that in ATA. kentauros Jul 2014 #91

Bless your heart. BainsBane Jul 2014 #83

Well, I'd say so far it's gone over pretty good. Sissyk Jul 2014 #84
