Due to the immense size of the General Discussion forum (more messages are posted in GD than anywhere else on DU), we're forced to periodically move some stuff around in the database to keep things running as smoothly as possible.
Essentially we have a new GD forum with a new URL, into which I've moved several pages worth of threads so the current discussions that were going on in GD can continue. All new threads posted in GD will go into the new forum, but you should not notice anything different about this forum.
The old GD is now search and browse only. If you are a donor, you can search it by clicking here:

However, there may be a small number of cases where threads you have bookmarked or see linked in your 'My DU' point to a thread where it says that the topic has been moved. In these cases, simply follow the link to the new location found in the original post for that thread.
Thanks for your patience, and we apologize for this inconvenience. This maintenance helps keep DU running as quickly and smoothly as possible.
