How did you find DU...

[CalebHayes]

I was just looking for other anti-bush sites to link to mine one day. And there it was....

How about you?

[theorist]

1. Mark Crispin Miller's _The Bush Dyslexicon_

There's a list of progressive sites on the last few pages. Including buzzflash.com, DU, Alternet, etc.

[Exultant Democracy]

2. I was looking up Al Franken,

This is the week after O'liely flipped out at him at the book show, and a link came up for the "Top Ten Conservative Idiots" once I saw that I was hooked.

[minkyboodle]

3. internet rumors

I kept hearing... "Go to DU." "DU Rocks" etc etc..
finally my dumbass figured out what it was... and its been happy times ever since.. except for the I/P forum :mad:
:hippie:

6. I've heard about the I/P forum

I heard that it is consistently more dangerous that GDP 2004.

[kitkatrose]

33. Trust me, it is.

:scared: The only forum that might come close is the Gun Dungeon.

[JohnLocke]

35. Nah.

As a certified I/P Flame Warrior, I can say that I/P is a far more dangerous battlefield than the Gun Dungeon.

[kitkatrose]

37. I only lurk in I/P when I'm feeling masochistic,

so you may have a point. But then the Gun Dungeon seems to consist of flaming threads or locked ones. :shrug:

[Nite Owl]

4. I think it was from Buzzflash.

I bookmarked DU and came back later. First only reading the front page from time to time before even going to the boards.

[Renew Deal]

5. On the back of a milk carton.

I was referred here from another board.

[rppper]

7. i saw the huge banner......

...in the background during the chimps inauguration...all of the hail to the thief signs...then the big "democraticunderground.com" banner....i was online that second...never looked back. i'm one of the old schoolers here.

[Demonaut]

8. great, thank you.

[neverborn]

9. Well

A conservative was ranting about how he hated it. So I checked it out. I like :P It's addicting though. :x

[proud patriot]

10. I saw the Banner during the inauguration protest coverage

I never wondered the internet so after a couple
of months of sleepless nights I went looking for
the website on that banner ...

Oh my ,, this means I'm coming up on my 3 year
DU anniversary .. :D

11. Via Smirking Chimp

Looking for like-minded souls. Found 'em!

[linazelle]

12. In March when the "war" started I was desperate for information and

consolation. Nancy Skinner, former liberal radio host in Chicago and current senate candidate, had a web page at WLS Radio before they kicked her off the air and DU was one of the links. When I found DU I exhaled, it was a breath of fresh air.

[FloridaPat]

13. Buzzflash.com has the Top 10 Idiots referenced on it's

website.

[Jim Sagle]

14. Curiously refreshing.

:beer:

[Zomby Woof]

15. I was having a beer with Skinner

And I told him of this great idea I had for a liberal website... and he STOLE IT, that &**@!@$!@! :nuke:

[bubblesby2002]

16. A link from some other intelligent forum or blog

I think it was Salon.com or something like that. When I first visited DU I only went to the LBN and GD and then I found the lounge. That was it - I was hooked. Can't give it up now.

[GaYellaDawgDem]

17. Found link on BartCop

...in early 2002...been checking in ever since.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

21. I also found the DU through Bartcop ...

it was around the 2000 Presidential fiasco .

[kitkatrose]

34. Me too. :) n/t

[camero]

18. Same here

I did a google for Anti-Bush sites and there it was.

[Doc_Technical]

19. The late great suck.com refered us to..

..plastic.com which mentioned freerepublic.com which
attempted to blast this site and here I am.

[CanuckAmok]

20. While looking for change under the sofa cushions.

No...wait...it was via http://www.takebackthemedia.com

[Th1onein]

22. From a link on Alternet

Which I found by doing a Google search for "anti-Bush".

[montana_hazeleyes]

23. I don't remember the site but it was a link.

I read most every day for some time,then joined after the invasion started. This is my favorite site. First one I go to every day.

[Vernunft II]

24. I followed a linked thread on What Really Happened

and got stuck somehow.

[Marius]

25. My mom signed up for the site today.

So I decided to sign up, too.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

26. Welcome to the DU Marius !

:hi: :hi: :hi: :hi: :hi:

[NoPasaran]

27. A link from somewhere else

Either Bartcop or Buzzflash.
I was depressed after the 2002 elections and the obvious fact that Busholini was going to have the war he'd always wanted so I started looking for resistance on the internet.

[VOX]

28. Via Buzzflash...

Can't quite remember the link now, but Buzzflash goe me here...

:toast:

[gator_in_Ontario]

29. Randi Rhodes page n/t

CheshireCat

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

32. Crazy freeper called me "commie pinko dirtbag"...

...decided, just for fun, to google "commie pinko dirtbag", got Auntie Pinko and the rest is history.

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. Buzzflash and a good friend.

[TOhioLiberal]

39. "I made a left at Greenland."

[silverlib]

40. A coworker

introduced me right after the site came up. I lurked, with very few posts, under greylib or graylib for quite a while and then strayed away. When I decided to come back, I wouldn't remember how I spelled my login, much less my password, so I re-registered under silverlib. I've lost track of my coworker, who moved to Ohio, but if you are out there SG, thanks!

[RebelOne]

41. Link from another site.

I think it was Buzzflash.
