2. I like to think of us as
one big virtual online think-tank.

As long as we keep the dialogue going and keep a tight check on being as accurate as possible (we're constantly vetting each other which is good)--I say shine the spotlight, I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille. :toast:

4. Probably positive no matter how it is becoming famous
You know the saying: "Even bad publicity is good publicity" (or something similar to that).

9. "No such thing as bad publicity"
Whether DU is portrayed positively or negatively, the increased attention brings greater numbers.

10. Almost ninety thousand members and it's just NOW famous?
Edited on Fri Mar-31-06 01:10 AM by Prisoner_Number_Six
This place has been making waves for more than a little while now. It's already there and then some.

12. 60,000 people my junior... who would have thunk it?
Edited on Fri Mar-31-06 01:28 AM by notadmblnd
There was just under 30,00 people when I joined. I've survived a lot of changes over that time (many I haven't been happy with). But I think it says something. It says that I've managed not to offend nearly 90,000 people in the 4 or 5 years I've been here. That's a lot of tongue holding.
