What are some things you'd change about DU, if you could?

[Haole Girl]

I'd move the DUzy Awards to Monday night. Just because.

[peruban]

1. I want Bob back.

Those satirical posts always had me in stitches.

[Haole Girl]

2. Bob who?

(Is this one of those knock-knock jokes? lol)

[peruban]

12. No, a few years back there was a weekly article called

"Bob's weekly rant". It was a satire about right wingnuts.

I left DU for a few years, came back and no more Bob.

[GOPisEvil]

15. That's because the writer of those had an epic flame-out a couple years ago.

I actually hung out with him, pre-flame-out. He was a lot of fun.

But, such is life...

Oh, and I think it was called "Equal Time" by Bob Boudelang.

[peruban]

20. Oh, that's the story, then.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Danger Mouse]

24. Who was it that wrote those?

[Bossy Monkey]

34. MrBenchley n/t

[QueenOfCalifornia]

3. I would

make Parche clean the bathroom. :)

[Haole Girl]

5. Agreed

[AlCzervik]

4. i would bring back the "Ask the mods" forum, the best forum that ever was.

[Haole Girl]

6. Before my time

But it sounds like it was great. Guess it got to be too much work, or something.

[AlCzervik]

10. it was pure comedy gold. i used to cry from laughing so hard.

[madinmaryland]

7. I'm miss ATA. "How do I reply to a post"

"rofl"

[redqueen]

52. And the lost keys...

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

8. Can someone here please tell me how to make a post?

[flvegan]

9. How do I get cat hair off my luggage?

Classic forum.

[LeftyMom]

16. I'm still picking dog hair out of mine.

Next time I visit, I'm sending you a crate of lint rollers UPS timed to arrive two days before I do.

[old mark]

11. Free peanuts and RC Cola. nt

[Orrex]

13. An across the board 'Pants Optional' rule

The informal consensus that we currently have is a stopgap measure, at best.

[TZ]

40. .

I thought that was already the official Lounge clothes rule..oh wait thats bra optional isn't it......No wait...thats the law for the Lounge if DuStrange was running the show.....:rofl:

[Orangepeel]

47. wait... pants aren't optional?

:blush:

[Orrex]

50. Nope--they're expressly forbidden

I'm sure that it's in the charter somewhere. Ask Skinner.

[XemaSab]

14. Send XemaSab 1/4 of the fundraising proceeds

:shrug:

[jeff30997]

32. Agreed.

And the rest to Jeff30997.

[rug]

17. I'd require posting in vowels only unless you're a donor.

[Starry Messenger]

18. The only thing I would change is the large red blinky

NEW MAIL that flashes when you get a PM message. I rarely get them but when I do it gives me a complete heart attack. Maybe a smaller font...less red, less blinky...

Maybe it's just me.

[Haole Girl]

19. ROFL!

No, you are not the only one. Even though I get frequent PM's, it nearly gives me a heart attack too!

:pals:

[AwakeAtLast]

51. Check your PM

:evilgrin:



:hi:

[Starry Messenger]

54. Nicely played!

[RandomThoughts]

21. No answer possible.

The phrase "If I could" does not compute

Guess I will just have to walk to my nearest bar and have some :beer: and :popcorn: instead :woohoo:

[harmonicon]

22. more boobs

[madinmaryland]

23. How about some more swedish fish...

[Bertha Venation]

37. This is an excellent post. Here are some Swedish Fish for you.

[madinmaryland]

44. Thank you, Bertha!!!

:hi:

[TZ]

41. I have an idea....

Any body who posts/mentions Tony Romo is TS'd as a freeper troll!:P

[madinmaryland]

43. Nice post, turtlenromo!!1!!

:P

[Danger Mouse]

25. The power to write the name of a poster I don't like in the posting window and for them to drop dead

I saw it in a show once. Something about Deathbob Notepants or something like that.

[Fire Walk With Me]

26. Add, without any announcement, a "Ban" button to every post..

And start the stopwatch.

"There can only be one."

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear KC2!

I'd like to see Version 3 (or whatever it's called) to be implemented!

Do you remember? Skinner had a big thread months ago about all these cool new features that were coming...

I. Want!

:hi:

[Lil Missy]

28. Have the freeps empty ashtrays, scoop the dog poop, and change the kitty litter before they leave.

And then invite them to keep the used kitty litter for snacks.

[ACTION BASTARD]

29. File Sharing Fridays

[SarahB]

30. Open, adult dialog in the lounge.

I'm not saying sex threads because it implies a junior high mentality often among people who haven't gotten layed in years. I'm talking being able to have an open dialog like adults about adult subjects. However, that was apparently so hard to do for people (without the junior high bullshit) that most topics of an adult nature have long been eliminated.

[SoxFan]

36. "a junior high mentality often among people who haven't gotten layed in years".

I hate to break this to you, but...

[LostinVA]

42. Haruka and I ahve said this many time -- +2

[derby378]

31. One-third of Obama's administration would be DUers

I think crispini, CaliforniaPeggy, matcom, and yours truly should march into the transition team and take over. Yeah.

[Jamastiene]

33. I'd bring back MaddyMcCall and Tyler Durden and I'd

kick out the homophobes and misogynists.

[Bertha Venation]

39. Homophobes and misogynists at DU? Impossible.

[1Hippiechick]

49. Where's Maddy!?!?!

[Jamastiene]

56. Not here any more.

She got TSed a couple months ago. :(

[1Hippiechick]

59. I knew she got censored, so to speak, but wasn't that on a temporary basis? I thought I remembered

her coming back online..

Do you know where she is posting now? I really LOVED her posts! She resonated SOUNDLY with me. What a loss to DU. What happened? Send me a pm, if you want to. I will really miss her!

Edited to express my grief with a smilie: :cry:

[bridgit]

35. I wouldn't change a thing. Everything here is just perfect, and eveyone is so...

warm and accepting. It's just like the very best of high school with the sun streaming down warming my cheeks on the quad near to my very best friends as we absorb the news of the world and current events before engaging they we otherwise ignore slamming the heads of the rabble, the uncool riff raff of some other god's children into their stupid lockers and watch them cry while they beg us to stop; it's wonderful...

I just love it here :bounce:

[JVS]

38. Superblock!

[RFKHumphreyObama]

45. I'd bring back as many of the posters that I could from 2002-03

Whom I miss so much. It just isn't the same without them

I know they were a lot of hard work and effort (heck, I know from experience!) but I'd bring back the "Day In the Lounge" daily threads we had back in 2002 -perhaps on a volunteer roster. I think it helped to foster a Lounge community spirit that is sadly lacking these days

[Critters2]

46. I'd pre-block all posts in which people will disagree with me.

That would help considerably. :)

[JohnnyLib2]

48. Revive Maddy's frog!

[Jamastiene]

57. Maddy! Maddy!

and, yes, bring back Clifford.

:thumbsup:

[skygazer]

53. I'd annex the Sudetenland and sign a non-agression pact with Russia

Oh, wait.... wrong question. :blush:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

55. More Smashing Pumpkins.

Because we could all use a bit more Billy.

[sniffa]

58. A "Sort by lock" option

I hate having to hunt for them. It's even worse when we go to Level 1 or higher.
