Yeah. But enough dog piling and most people just don’t think it’s worth it any more. Can’t blame them; there’s a reason most of us don’t go on Truth Social to interchange, either.

I can't help but laugh at the thought of BH counting the days until his latest timeout ends on Jan 1.

Well, I think we just got a taste of the big time-out. I wonder if the new owner would take some chips to let us play on the side?

Then you need to hand it to BH: the DZ.com energizer bunny.

I won't miss it.

I recently watched a Mantis Shrimp dart out of his hole and smack unconscious a hermit crab, no doubt expecting a tasty snack, all just a half second before a Jack swooped in, snatched him by the ass end and swam off with the Mantis Shrimp flailing his arms about like an Italian Priest making a point. Mantis Shrimps have nature's most complex and amazing eyes, they are colored beautifully, and they possess a left (or right) jab that pound for pound would shame Mike Tyson. They are possessed of the most amazing gifts of nature and fully enjoy those advantages until the day comes when they too are grabbed by the ass, and won't be missed.

The fact that Truth Social translates to Pravda Sotsial'nyy makes my use of it unlikely.

Also, when using the kill file feature, much of Speaker's Corner appears empty so extraordinary measures to keep it going are unwarranted.

Unfortunately, winsor won’t be able to appreciate that description, as he doesn’t see color

Of course, that’s a joke.  We protect our own, right?

I’ve enjoyed having a number of the more right leaning people back posting (and some new ones).

The world is full of echo chambers and people hiding in their safe spaces unwilling to have their opinions challenged. 

It takes guts to stand up for your beliefs when you’re outnumbered.

If we renamed the new site "Dropzone.commie" would you kick in a few bucks?

Reopening under a new name is most likely doable. But someone would need to do it.

Yes, well a review of our current organizational chart reveals that we only have one someone: BillVon.

It’s probably discussed here somewhere but I have been busy. 
 

Who bought the zoo and why? And will this all be archived somehow?

Richravizza, I heard. There are some planned changes, disabling spell check for example, but otherwise no worries.

Turns out dragging knuckles and understanding humour are mutually exclusive.

For the sake of the Christmas season, and to celebrate the end of the DZ.com, I am going to be a little more lenient on PA's in terms of warnings.  Instead I will edit any personal attack to a new attack of my choice.

You mean you’re a soft woke liberal now? 

Hopefully you don’t need to intervene much, most of us have shared this forum a long time, despite differences. Would be nice to end it without civil war

Or, for the sake of the Christmas season, and to celebrate the end of DZ.com, our fellow dz.commers could refrain from PA's to prevent you from having to do even more work. It's a thought. We could all walk away from here with fond memories of each other or a so glad that shit is over thought. Ya know, Primacy/Recency.
