Democratic Underground has New Moderators!

[Skinner]

As usual, we had a good response to our call for moderators, and it was extremely difficult to narrow the field down. We had to turn down a number of very qualified people. We hope that everyone who applied to serve as a moderator this turn will consider applying again next term.

A moderator switch is always a little chaotic, so I want to apologize in advance for any problems that may arise over the next few days. Thank you for your understanding.

Please take a moment to say hello to our new moderators, and to express your gratitude to our retiring moderators.

HERE ARE YOUR MODERATORS FOR THIS TERM:

:hi:

[Fascist Papers]

15. Congratulations

Congratulations. I wonder what we'd do without DU? I use it even for the news, and only reference the big three (LATimes, WaPo and NYTs) when they've been cited either in DU or SmirkingChimp.

DU, especially with the addition of "Crisis Papers" shares with Smirking Chimp the title of the best truly liberal forums on the web.

Thanks in advance for the help you're doing in seeing that we get to participate in this great site.
