The New Site
Actually, I think RonPaul.com has potential. Basically, it appears to be an attempt at a more friendly DailyPaul where there is more moderation and more static content. While DailyPaul is focused more on conversation and current events, RonPaul.com appears to be geared more toward the casual visitor who simply wants to see filtered content related to Ron Paul.
I think a site like RonPaul.com is actually long overdue. Assuming that the moderators/editors are fair, it can serve as a great place to promote the best of the best in the Ron Paul grassroots campaign.
I think the new site is only for profit!
I don't see why this new site is a better alternative for ronpaul2008.com. I think it is worse!
I say they do this to get affiliate-profit for selling books via Amazon. If I was Ron Paul (oh lord, what a hypothetical blasphemy), I would probably claim the domain name.
What you'll think? Am I too pessimistic?
FWIW
Found this in the "grassroots" link on the site:
* RonPaul.com is a non-profit effort.
We don’t accept any donations nor will we plaster this site with ads to get you to click on them. We will however promote any and all valuable products, candidates and efforts that further the Revolution, such as Ron Paul’s books, Ron Paul-approved candidates, Revolution marches and money bombs.
New Site is up now
not an official campaign site but a new grassroots site.
From a transparency perspective.
The site should have forewarned me, that I would need a P/W & U/N. I will proceed with [EXTREME CAUTION]!! and not enter what ever U/N or P/W its looking for. It was kinda fun though :-)
Not Needed Any Longer
You can get in without
Thank you,
Yup, I'm in. It is just another grass roots site I believe? When I say "Just" don't get me wrong, its at first glance attractive and new and like press the more the better. Interesting and fun debut :-P "Onward"
Hold on...
Another U/N & P/W, I don't think so ?
Edited: >> Late entry, I think so :-P
up
up
I got a login screen for test page
What did you guys get?
Jesus H Jiminy
They are not ready for launch apparently.
Same
here. Although I never put in my e-mail. Scary.
yeah
At this point, I'm not expecting anything great at all, if their launch day has any reflection on the quality of whatever it is we're waiting for.
Hey
It's asking for a user name and password. I never got one.
If The Site Resets The Counter Again....
I will lose it. 4 minutes......please don't tease me ronpaul.com site.
totally off the
totally off the topic....but
why am i getting this message when i post something?
* user warning: Table 'dpdb2.cache_forum' doesn't exist query: DELETE FROM cache_forum in /home/manystrom/www/dailypaul.com/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.
wtf is this?
I believe you'll find...
This site often lags and does not refresh properly. If you post a reply, it will also replicate your post in direct proportion to the number of times you hit the post comment button. I believe its a slow server issue???
thanks dude ....for clearing
thanks dude ....for clearing that up...i thought i was a victim of "troll" hunt collateral damage...
btw "troll hunting season is officially on...
Phishing
This looks very suspicious to me. Probably a phishing attempt. Please be very cautious about giving out your Email or clicking on links to unknown websites.
Freedom, Prosperity and Peace
Thank you,
Junk email addresses are a dime a doz.! Though any related embedded links... be cautious. Thanks again

The Number Listed In Your Link
Is listed to a Sylvia Graham in Portland, OR
And here is a street view off of Google of that address - http://maps.google.com/ma...
I don't know why it is necessary to post this, but I am getting a bit anxious for the launch of the site.
Launch Time
Got a notice that they launched, refreshed my page and they are asking for another hour!
I know I'm prolly grasping
I know I'm prolly grasping here but I can't help but wonder if maybe this has something to do with letushope's post yesterday about having an idea and needing a secure/confidential source in which to present it......
You too?
I refreshed and it tacked on 1 more hour :-)
This is May 1st not,
Not > April 1st :-P (System Lagg)

Any other domain names for Ron Paul?
Ron Paul a few weeks ago basically endorsed RonPaul.com , when asked where they can find info he said RonPaul.com - FYI
Peace,Robert
I Recall That Comment As Well
That was during a very recent interview.
I wouldn't be surprised if
I wouldn't be surprised if some individual or company owns ronpaul.com and is just launching a new news or community site at that domain. It was probably pointed to the official campaign website just to pick up a bunch of links that should have been going to ronpaul2008.com
I believe ronpaul.com was sold on ebay back in January for $25k or so...
Hmm - If it was like the last countdown?
Nothing.
They sent me my ip.
They sent me my ip.
I am a puter dum dummy for the most part...does this email in which they sent me my ip address mean anything?
I received the same email.
I received the same email. It looks like just a simple confirmation message and probably includes the IP so that we (or they) can verify it was us who signed up and not someone else who put our address on their list.
It's just an acknowledgment
and proof that you signed up, as opposed to someone else at some other IP address who might have put in your address
Mei Dei
roughly translates to "My god."
The first of May has traditionally been an international communist holiday for decades. This year, we experience a peculiar nexus, as the first Thursday of May has also been declared "National Prayer Day." For an unrepentant vexillomaniac such as myself, it presents a perfect opportunity to show my colors.
For the last few days I had the Confederate Cross out, but today I fly my flag of the Soviet Union, well scorned throughout the world as a "godless commie banner."

The holiday of Beltaine on May 1st
is very important in Druidism/Paganism/Wicca/Witchcraft.
This is also the day the Illuminati was founded in 1776.
Well, May Day is also about flowers...
Professor! You continue to challenge my command of language with effusive displays of your philology!
A vexillomaniac, you say? So...you love flowers?
(From Dictionary.com -- definition of "vexil" -- Botany: the large upper petal of a papilionaceous flower.)
This would make sense, since the 1st of May, May Day, is also traditionally a day of wrapping up nosegays in dainty doilies and depositing them anonymously at people's doors...
...or might your term be born of the less frivolous "military standard or flag carried by ancient Roman troops; or a group of men serving under such a standard" definition?...
Looks like the time got
Looks like the time got extended for another 2 hours or so.. lol
