DU Contingency Plan

When DU went down last night, I really got nervous and was wondering what we'd do if, God forbid, there really was an attack. Well I thought one idea would be to have a dedicated AIM screen name (I already registered 'DUEmergency'). If DU goes down, I, or someone else, could sign on with the SN and start a DU chat to talk with one another.

Does this sound like it could work?

7. Not frantic enough

I only see the word Emergency once.

If DU comes under Fed lockdown, you can bet the sister sites will go at the same time. It's not like we're actually posting the addresses to them.

10. We should create a Willy Wonka website

:D Pretend like we are fans of Willy Wonka and either we dislike him or not.

You don't think that they would shut down a Willy Wonka website do you? :evilgrin:
