In the interest of observing "creatures" in their native habitat, I took a quick (brief but scary) look at a new web forum. This was a new forum for me. Felt like a kid going into the older kids section of the "funhouse" Must thank DU and its enlightened posters for their discussions which made me both aware this forum existed and for spiking my natural curiosity. Upon entering forum " conservative underground" any thought of enlightenment and entertainment vanished. Unlike the funhouse as a kid, (Violent, Scary, Exiting and Truly Entertaining despite the bruises) this was just strangely disappointing. However I may be biased. I'm probably too old and stupid to understand but maybe someone here can help me answer just ONE simple question. Why is it DEMOCRATICUNDERGROUND has a white background--bright welcoming and pleasant; while CONSERVATIVE UNDERGROUND has a dark foreboding grayish-blah background Yes I know-----small simple worthless topic but its been a really long day baking cookies and 300 minimuffins for elderly mom's adopted kindergarden classes. On a plus note--we did deliver 100 Clifford the Big Red Dog Books as well. Truly a worthy fatigue

(9,265 posts)A good part of the site is devoted to smearing DU. Im actually kind of proud someone took the time to misinterpret my post.

(37,159 posts)You sound like you're describing the Conservative Cave, where a circle-jerk about DU is a feature not a bug.
The OP seems to be talking about a more modern-looking echo chamber site that has undated "stories" and the only user interaction are the rarely-used comments section of individual stories.
Naturally, its ownership is completely anonymous.

We know what they are like, the venom they post. It's in your best interest not to relay this shit on to DU. Best wishes and welcome to DU.
