Good job on keeping DU up and running through all of this! It's been hard and discouraging and scary, with a lot of feelings from 2016 coming back. Having DU to come to most of the night and this morning is SO much better than watching talking heads on the TV. I'm tired and not expressing it very eloquently, but just ...
Thank you, guys!

And a shout-out to Skinner too, since for most of those four years he was part of making today's smoothness happen.
Thanks, kindly!

It would have been a dark and lonely night without you. We have a way yet to go, but I firmly believe at this point that we will be victorious!

At this moment, it's especially important to be able to stay in touch with our DU family, it certainly helps on an emotional level.
Hats off to you!

(51,308 posts)But we sure dont seem to have the traffic here we used to.
I remember when they closed down to only star members and smilies couldnt be used...and the front page moved so fast I couldnt keep up.
Its not like that here anymore.

(2,809 posts)For all the near-sanity grounding DU in general has provided myself and undoubtedly, sooooo many.
From the early "top 10" lists that got me hooked, to now the dead serious consequences of nonsense...

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
