It's just the tip of the DDO iceberg.

It is 7:00 pm EST and still no shutdown. 

Are they busy admiring that replica of the NASCAR car they sponsored years ago or something?

Many websites and online deadlines run as in that midnight that night is the pure deadline and midday is the recommended time to meet the deadline.

Ok fair. Ngl tho it is a pretty sick car design, although they one they did for 2010 was better.

Found some users still online. I messaged them and told them about this site.

Are you unable to use copy and paste for a word document or screenshot and paint?

Not sarcasm, I just imagine it'd be possible for you to save it yourself.

I just got done looking through the list of online users on DDO and directing as many as possible to DART. Let’s hope some come on over.

I have logged out for the final time. The site will probably be offline for good when I wake up in the morning.

Wow.... I forgot just how bad I used to be at debate. I probably would have come at it in an entirely different way today if I were to redo that debate with you, but I also don't see myself wanting to try that particular debate topic again. I feel like most of my Christian history debates weren't that great.

I still hold some of the views I did back then (though with less certainty), but I feel now like so many of the topics I tried to debate just aren't meant for debates but discussions. I was overconfident and a bit of a narcissist back then (pretty much a complete dick in demeanor) and so just did not expect that I would fail to properly convey these grand ideas in my head, leading to some, honestly, shit arguments. That debate topic in particular is one that, iirc, I basically had only recently heard of the line of arguments I was using and was so convinced by them that I just went straight to seeking debate instead of actually doing more digging.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you want that debate saved in particular? Not that I'm not flattered a bit that it was a debate with my original account that you want saved, but I honestly don't think that my contributions on it warrant saving.

I mean, thank you to Lemming and Mharman for screenshotting it though.

Wtf you SNP1? I hoped to see you again, yeah I had the feeling you had big ideas but fell with fully conveying them
When I think back on debates my mind goes back to the debate we did, all time best debate I did in my eyes, how in depth the concepts went, new ideas, the tight submissions, I think fondly to it, if you want a 2nd debate I'm def open to one

Yup, just don't ever use that old username anymore.

if you want a 2nd debate I'm def open to one 
I would be open to one, but no idea what topic would be one that I would want to spend time debating. I just don't have as much free time so I have pretty much decided that I will limit myself to topics that I either think I know well already or I think are important or interesting enough. When I have more free time available then I will certainly be more open to debating almost anything.

Almost 4 years behind but each has their own pace. :p

Taoism and Buddhism teach to readily let go of attachments and continually adapt with the flow of life.

I benefit from the Taoist mindset during times like this. Attachments cause pain; pain for the sake of attachment is simply psychological masochism, if one cannot get back what is lost.

RIP DDO. 

I really hate how Juggle bought the website and just let it rot.

Hey,
Not much, but DDO appears to be done for, I wonder a 'bit if it'll ever start up again, but such seems doubtful.
I managed to save my debates, so maybe I'll try debating them all again on this site, review my beliefs again.

Who were you on DDO?
