Seriously! Is There a Forum here for those Addicted to DU?

[sheshe2]

As a newbie I have to ask the question. I have only been truly posting for a month now. You elders can't possibly have been sitting exclusively at your computers for years on end! Or could you have? Please help! LOL.
Inquiring minds need to know....that I am not alone!

5. It's where the cool DU addicts go.

I'm not quite that cool.

There's also the Gungeon, aka RKBA forum, for those who really like to fight and argue.

6. Time for this again, I see--

Just to provide a little help for all of you who are having trouble with your addiction, I offer a rerun of a 12-step program I first offered here in February 2008. At that time, in the heat of the primaries, there was a rule limiting posters to no more than 3 OPs in GD-P on any given day. I'm leaving the reference to that rule in Step 11 for historical context.

Without further ado, here are--


The 12 Suggested Steps of DUmmies Unanimous

1. We admitted we were powerless over GD-P--that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could tombstone us at will.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Skinner as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of the opposing candidate(s) and their advocates.

5. Admitted to the Magistrate the exact nature of their wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have The Admin remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Them to remove our tombstones and reinstate us.

8. Made a list of all persons whom we had put on Ignore or whose threads we had hijacked, and became willing to fake amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would entail inconveniences on our part.

10. Continued to take inventory of opposing candidates and their proponents and when they were wrong promptly tried to make them admit it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with Admin, as we understood Them, praying only that they would undercount our daily GD-P threads and overlook our flamewars.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to the trolls, Morans and FReepers.

7. I'm in.

But honestly, I usually only visit heavily in election times.

DU2 gave me some bad experiences. I am a 9/11 truther and feel the prior admin needs to be brought up on war crimes charges for Iraq. So, I am here for the election updates mostly.

8. Yeah, DU Funnies.

Oh, wait, you said here.

11. I had forgotten about him. Wonder if his mother has finally kicked him out of her home!!

[Indpndnt]

9. I was here 2003-2008 or so. Burned out after the '08 election.

Took a long break. Realized I wanted to come back here for this election as it can't be beat for news and support. Also realized I forgot my password and no longer had access to my old email. I'd probably be in the tens of thousands of posts by now. My fingers hurt just thinking about that.

So, I'm a brand new me!

[sheshe2]

12. So OK welcome back to DU! New me

East Coaster here....lost power for about 8 hrs....no computer ! Slept the early evening away so alas I am up to posting on DU again. U are right great place for new aaaand venting a bit. Will soon! Thanks for the answers. This election is going to rock!
