[orleans]

anyone remember?

1. I remember those, my dear orleans...

Were they on stickies?

It's hard to remember!

2. Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that.

If you donated a certain amount, you could pick different colored hearts with phrases you liked to give to people. I forget what the phrases were, maybe stuff like "Vote Dem" and "Buck Fush" (?). I think they were mostly political.

15. Okay. Seeing the hearts (below) I guess my memory is faulty about them being

political. I think I was thinking of the phrases on the stickies, which was another fundraiser (?).

3. Yes! A highlight of my time here is when someone gave me an Evil Du'er heart!

I was just thinking about those this morning. They looked just like the edible candy hearts. I loved 'em!

4. These remind more of those little

Cinnamon candy hearts!

5. I always liked those, much much better than those rock-hard sugar pill ones. n/t

6. Yes, I remember those! They were cute.

I remember "Good DUer".

[progressoid]

7. Yeah, but did we get to decide who gets what phrase or was it random?

My feeble mind can't remember.

[orleans]

11. not that sure but i kinda think we got to choose from a big page of

hearts/expressions and i think we could decide which one to give someone

8. The Star Trek fans got candy hearts with little phasers

[Lil Missy]

9. Yes I remember. Someone put something really mean and naughty on one.

As I recall, you could create your own phrase, so a mean person called another person the "c" word.

That idea had to be nixed.

10. Darn right!

12. The image files for those hearts are still on the DU servers...

[orleans]

14. thanks for putting those hearts up. how did you find them

off the servers?

16. I posted those heart images a couple years ago, so I just copied them from my previous post.

As to how I originally found them - I'm not sure but I'd guess I looked up an old thread from Valentine's week on archive.org and got the image URLs from there.
