Did YOU Know There Are DUers Who Post That You Have Never Seen?
look. i'm a "upstairs" kind of guy but ventured down to I/P to check on the issues regarding the Hamas Assasination yesterday.

after trolling through that and some of the other forums (some skeert me :scared: ) i noticed that there are TONS of posters (many with 1000+ posts) who i have NEVER run accross!

its interesting that some of us stay "upstairs" and others prefer "downstairs"

you?

1. I hve noticed that.
I stay the hell away from the gungeon and the I/P forums. There is some serious poo-flinging down there.

2. Yes..
There a lot of posters in I/P and the Gun Dungeon that never pop up from their relentless crusade of the minute to see whats going on.

I/P especially.

3. I have noticed a lot up hear in LBN GD and the Lounge
but my fear of the unknown and new information causes me to alert the mods on them and try to get them kicked off.

4. We lock the Gungeon up tight
I'm not sure what they use over in I/P to keep the folks at home.

6. 40,000+ members and they aren't all in the lounge
which is probably a good thing. :-)

It is surprising to come across a name new to me, and see they have thousands of posts already.

Still, I alert on 'em just in case. Never can tell with people you don't know - might be infiltrators, 'specially in this time of war, and if someone doesn't come to the lounge, can they really be trusted? So I just assume it's one of the apparently thousands of stealth freepers who have been here for years that the freepers like to talk about so much, who are so clever that we now follow their rightist propaganda, and we don't even realize it.

8. I have no idea!
Most of my news information comes from the lounge, and a little bit from public radio.

10. It's funny that you say that--
I just took a quick peek into I/P the other day, just out of curiosity. Glancing at the names of those who had started the threads, I only recognized one name. You're absolutely right, Matt.

21. I explored I/P twice.
They're still PMing me and telling me how horrible I am.

Nie Wieder!
Plus Jamais!
Never Again!

And I'm just talking about the I/P forum!

12. Well I'm a newbie...
... who started out downstairs. I suppose when you are new you head right for the people you know best (me being the big queer, I b-lined for the civil rights folks).

But then I began to notice they get pretty heated, so I make my way to the lounge more. I like it here. That's just me.

14. I like the lounge
It was too scary in the GD election forum... GD seems okay. The meeting room has some interesting topics, but not as much traffic. People seem nicer ( but not too nice ;)in here in the lounge, in general. I personally like wise guys.. of both genders.

20. I seem to remember that he got banned a while back
for spamming the board, I think. Anyway, a search of his username doesn't show him listed.

15. the ONLY DUer with the dubious distinction...
...of making my otherwise unused IGNORE list posts only in I/P. Of course, I assume that I'm on numerous ignore lists too....

17. Yeah, there's some guy named Skinner with 158,000 posts
But I've only occasionally seen him post anything. I think he must wait until 3 am and flood the server with one-word posts. I have a hunch he's a stealth freeper...

18. Well there is only one thing for this.
I heard that they have oil downstairs, we must invade. There evil leaders will be helpless against our yaks and thongs. After we finish liberating them, they will embrace us, and the Tao of Oscar.

23. Should we move in now unilaterally,
or do we try and get a coalition together. Perhaps the meeting room and GD would join us in making DU a safer place.

24. I always kind of chuckled at the complaints about GD and GD Two. I have
seen the darkness, and it is the Gungeon and I/P.

The poo in the entire history of GD and GD2 smells better thatn a typical afternoon in either one of those.
