The site owners doing their best to rake in the bucks.

"IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due to the unexpectedly high traffic to our website since election day, we are currently limiting access to our message board. Only individuals who have donated to Democratic Underground during the last year are being given access. This is a temporary change which will only be in effect until our traffic returns to its pre-election levels.

We regret having to implement this change, but we felt it was the fairest way to keep the website open during this difficult time. We are currently planning a significant and costly server upgrade so we will not face this problem again in the future.

Please be aware that if you donate, we cannot give you access to the forums until we make it into the office tomorrow morning.

Sorry for the inconvenience."
