Any smirking chimpsters here?
I've been over there for three months but
always came here for news sources
their server has been too slow lately,
and are getting another one .
I use the same handle there also.
so I finally joined up here
so that's why so few post.
the smirking chimp is listed with
Randi Rhodes

Alot of threads here with people afraid
of ones(freepers) with not many posts
so I wanted to make sure I'm not in
anyway, make or form considered one.

9. Welcome, IChing
I went there a few times, but did not like their format.:)

You'll like it here.. I can't believe that Randi links them, and not us :cry:..

3. I started out there
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 12:56 AM by Jen6
with the same handle. Now I post under the name "Lorien" (but very infrequently). Yeah, the server is absurdly slow, and I don't like the strict policies about posting new threads; the threads are simply too long and difficult to wade through (given the server problem) and there's very little movement in the forum.

I like the articles on the homepage, though. I usually read them first thing in the morning.

5. one of us
I lurk here mostly but SC has always been my main place. Though it's so friggin' slow. They've been "rushing" to setup the new server for ages now.

6. The slow server has been an issue
since I joined there early in 2002. I think if they could deal with it, membership and donations would increase dramatically. It's sort of a circular problem.

8. So all of you know Jackson Thoreau. Yes?
We found DU through BartCop, but we also found DU through SC and several other sites. Thanks for coming over.

SC is very much respected in the "liberal" underground.

My handle there is Peacelover. On edit... like others here, I still go there to read news, but I rarely post there now.

14. Yes.
I go there every day to read the articles they post, which are usually excellent. And the replies to the articles are very often insightful and thoughful Ñ which, sad to say, doesn't happen that often here.

I don't post on the boards though.
