One-hour edit time over, grr.

That's where to go, everyone.

2. What a long strange trip it's been...
And the best part?

It ain't over yet....

Nor will it be. Not for many, many years...

Congrats to Skinner, EarlG and Elad for their vision, their tenacity and their intelligence...

And to everyone who has contributed to these forums all these years.

One hell of a ride, indeed.

:toast:

4. Congrats is right!
This is an excellent site and so well run.
Thank you to Skinner, EarlG and Elad.
You have kept many of us sane for the last decade (or 9 years in my case).

10. Wow... ten years
oh excuse me, I'm having 'a moment'

Wow!

Skinner, EarlG, and Elad

THANK YOU SO MUCH



Ive seen a lot of folks come and go over that time. Many great ones have left this earth far too soon yet many still remain.

I am truly grateful for this place, right here, right now and always... Democratic Underground

I can't imagine DU ever not being in existance.

Hear that Skinner, Earl and Elad, this place has to be around F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!!!! :loveya:

17. And so many familiar names gone.
For various reasons.

Brainshrub got a full-time job. Ava went off to school in NYC. DeepModemMom called it quits when shrub was gone. Delilah of BlogBox decided it was too much work. Debbierlus, well...

NewYorker99. :-(

28. The ones who are gone for various reasons are much on my mind tonight.
Some need to be here with us still. It's hard to enjoy my almost 9 years here when so many are gone.

20. Congratulations and Thank You!
I do not know what I would have done without being able to see there were still decent people in the world. DU gave me comfort so many times through the years... I love DU and the people who created it also those who are a part of this wonderful online family.

27. Here's to 10 years of sanity
I don't post here often. I lurk. I read. I laugh. I grieve. I hope.

I come here because in the grim days of January 2001, there was nothing save Bartcop, Buzzflash, Media Whores (Duncan I am LOOKING at you), and Democrats.com.

We needed a place to vent, to grieve, to process, to let go, to build. To reclaim our future.

Thank you, David, Brian and Dave. Take a bow.
