I use to frequent Lucianne.com several times a day before discovering Free Republic. I was banned from the site a couple of years ago for a reason I thought was pretty silly. I directed a disparaging comment towards the staff for what I thought was a very insensitive comment they added under a headline on a "Must Read" article. The next day I found that I was unable to log on.
My question, has anyone else noticed that activity and new articles posted on that site have slowed down a great deal? I like Lucianne Goldberg but I have a feeling her editors and "PC" interns have done serious damage to what used to be an excellent news forum.
Slowed down from one new post a day to one a week?
I've visited Lucianne.com only when FR was down.
I was banned just before the 2004 elections for asking about other posters, who, it turned out, had been banned. No bitterness on my side - I landed softly at Free Republic! I haven't checked Lucianne's site in quite some time though. So am not really qualified to answer your question.
I used to check it out for the picture of the day, or if FR was down, but the site is just not fun or interesting. I never go there anymore.
It's been a while since I logged on too. I also am a member of the "banned."
Hmmm...I wonder if Navigator has returned to the fold over at Lucianne's.
Navigator ticked off a lot of folks by having them banned.
I used to go there but I haven't been lately. Lucy had a vision of a perfect website but it hasn't worked that way.
There are quite a few of us - I encountered OldPhoneMan & OldPhoneLady here shortly after joining. Under new aliases, of course. ;-)
Back in the day a new article would come in at least once per minute. Now it's not uncommon to see hours between posts.
Don't go there anymore. I wasn't banned, but FR is so much more fun and up on breaking news.
The moderators at Lucianne are pretty rigid, it used to be a somewhat busy site a few years ago, I stopped posting there in 2003 after somebody e-mailed me some very hateful comments.
I went there last month and noticed how slow it has bacome. I won't even bother now.
FYI IIRC Lucianne's son is Jonah Goldberg of the NRO
I'm grateful to L.com. I never would have found FR without it.
It's been pretty quiet over there since the mass exodus of 2001.
She used to post here as Trixie
I love Lucianne, and we all owe her a huge vote of thanks for her efforts in impeaching Clinton. Nevertheless, I agree with you conclusions about the staff, and I don't even know what got me banned.
Oh well, I love it here!
I've never been to that site. Have heard of it. But now, after reading this thread, I won't waste my time going over.
Especially Matt Drudge.
I appear to have been banned and I rarely, if ever, posted. Nothing wild, either. I contacted "staff" to try to determine why I wasn't being allowed to post and never received a response of any kind. Screw 'em. If I want my posts to be scrutinized by librarians, I'll go over to Moveon.org.
How about a T-shirt...Banned from Lucianne's
Back in the day, heard about FR from other posters on Lucianne. Lurked here for a while, then joined, and haven't looked back. Just for fun, I logged on over there, and it does look kinda quiet.
