Anyone take a look at the registered users here at DU lately -84,742

[stop the bleeding]

I thought that it was like 84,3?? something yesterday - did we gain 300 people overnight or am I blurring days?

[Lars39]

1. Late last night at some point somebody noticed we were gaining

at something like a member per second.

2. cool - I love it when this happens n/t

[Binka]

3. We Were AstroTrolled!

Every Cindy thread has a least 25.

[H2O Man]

5. Yep.

I agree, 110%

[stop the bleeding]

6. That makes sense and I remember myself hitting the alert button

once or twice. So really do you think we gained any new real users?

[Epiphany4z]

7. I don't know

but I finally broke open my kids piggy bank and donated so wouldn't get locked out..lol...shhhh I hid the bank they don't know yet...

8. It Was A Genuine Freeper Fist Fuck

The mods need to clean up the mess QUICKLY. There are three or four 1000+ posters who took off the mask and yet I haven't seen The Pizza Man. YET. Please hit alert early and OFTEN DU needs a real deep pore cleansing!

10. I Have A Photographic Memory

I don't need to establish a pattern I have freepdar built into my senses. It's a gift or a curse. Not sure which.:silly:

edit: Peyton hit enter too soon. I am teaching her to type!

14. OK, that's really enough.

A purge is not needed. Here is what's needed:

People need to accept the fact that progessives disagree on stuff.

17. thank you

thank you for saying that skinner

just as we wont fall in line with republicans, it shouldnt be expected that all progressives or liberals should walk lock and step.
thats what makes us progressive.
always thinking and coming up with more ideals.

its what makes us great.
i dun wanna see that go away.

19. Sorry did not mean to cross the line. Would it be possible with the

new servers to keep the search feature on? Because I do find this to be a useful tool in helping to define a track record before alerting the mods(BTW is very little) when there are people doing more than stating progressive ideas and discussions.

[Skinner]

21. I can't make any promises about the search feature.

We hope it will be able to keep up, but during traffic spikes, I have no clue.

But it shouldn't matter. It's not your job to do research on other members of this website. If you think someone might be a troll, then hit alert and the mods will decide.

22. OK will do, was only doing research because I would hate to use

that button on someone when it is not warranted.

From now on I will use this motto "when in doubt let the mods figure it out"

I really enjoy DU and I do not want to step on anyone's toes. As stated before if I have crossed the line then I am sorry.

Thanks Skinner for all of the work you guys do I would go insane if it wasn't for this place!:patriot:

15. I Was Batting Pretty Well

Busy night for me.

[Skidmore]

11. Whew, I thought I'd lost it this morning.

Hadn't had my coffee and lots of what I was reading sounded freepish. Did think to check user counts.

23. I joined yesterday!

Hi everyone,

I think there may have been a genuine jump. I had lurked here forever, but the combination of Alito, death of Coretta Scott King, and dreaded SOTU, I decided I needed to get back involved (haven't really been since the shock of Nov. 2004).

Also, I noticed quite a few posters yesterday who had under ten posts, so I wouldn't say it was a freeper attack, I think more people are getting fed up and ready to fight!

GO DU!!

Kristen
