Who else is afraid of being Left Behind?

I read that the DU server is going down for an upgrade, and that the data conversion will take two days and all I can think about is that, "Oh, no! With my bad luck I will be left behind!"

If you're left behind it's 7 years of tribulation.

I tried to post a "hello" msg, but don't see it. The last post was in 2013.

Although there is a DU Facebook page already and another (secret?) one where all the cool ex-DUers allegedly hang out. I only know this because when someone asks,
"Whatever happened to so-and-so," the reply is always "he or she is on Facebook."

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.
