43. Here's what I "almost" posted for you

Mon Dec 26, 2011, 07:49 PM

Dec 2011

And I say "almost" because the Help & Meta Discussion forum isn;t exactly known for it's good-natured "humor."

But I DID have it all loaded up and ready to go...hit the "preview" button, and said "Nah."

Is it too early for DU4 requests?

If not, I'd like to see this thread carried over:

"I want to create a thread that never ends"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/101817193

It's small now, so if we plan ahead, moving it shouldn't be too much trouble. If we wait three years until DU4 launches, it may be "cumbersome" by that point...like that "I want to create a thread that never dies" thread that, well...died

Is there a DU4 beta yet? Can we log in and practice like we did on DU3? Or am I being over-anxious and a tad too greedy in this Holiday season?

TIA
