How long have you been lurking/reading/posting at DU?






And NO, I'm not "information mining". :eyes:


PS - this is posted in GD because I thought GD would give a better representative sample than the Lounge, but I'm well aware that this may get moved there...

1. Since the selection.

I found DU via Buzzflash or MediaWhoresOnline. I think I used to post under Denbot but lost my ID/password after a ISP change. When I joined there were 6,700 DU'rs and I thought that was a lot.. :-0

4. hehe same here!!

I used to go to Buzzflash after the selection in 2000, found the Top Ten and have been here since. Only joined/donated after the last 'election' though.

I mostly read - most of my news now comes from DU & I'm better informed than most people I interact with!

7. Long enough to remember the "pre-911" DU

Back in the days before Bush gained his magical post 9-11 aura.

I remember about how Rumsfeld was supposedly planning to downsize the military.

Ah the good old days.

8. I was lurking

sometime before 911. Can't remember where I found out about DU. Maybe Buzzflash..

I came home the afternoon of 911 and logged on to the internet, but DU was down. Seems like I read somewhere that the cables connecting the DU ISP ran under the WTC.
