Poll question: In what year did you join DU? |
|
Don't tell me you just joined in 2005 ;-)
...unless you can prove it. :shrug:

In 2004, you were a newbie. In 2005, you're an oldbie.

DU has gone through a lot in that time. "So many people have come and gone…"
If I've learned anything in all that time, it's that one should avoid flamebait at all costs. Not that I take my own advice, you understand, but I would, if I had any sense.

And I eventually found my way here. And I haven't left. It's the most fun, most informative Dem place on the Web. :toast: :bounce:

The darkest political day in my memory, until I saw the big banner for 'DEMOCRATICUNDERGROUND.COM' waving above the crowd of protesters.
I logged in and registered immediately, and have been here just about every day (at least reading, if not posting) since.
I don't even have the words to describe how much better I felt just knowing there were lots of other people out there who recognized a coup when they saw it. Until then, I really thought I was hallucinating or something. Oh, how I wish I had been.

2004 I was reading posts before that though because I joined CGCS first and they refered a lot to DU. I think DUers always get the news first. I like it better here too, although I still go to CGCS and check out whats going on.
