Reply #6: I came to DU from a long-running Yahoo board.

We used to call it "The Tiity Board," because the initial post (mine) was about John Ashcroft covering up the breasts of the Statue of Justice. The board lasted for years and tens of thousands of posts. It was very active, and mostly liberal. It was like a DU that allowed/encouraged dissent. We even held a few Titty Board meet-ups in NYC, and one of my cohorts still hosts a blog called Timbuk3, where some of the old regulars still post. While posting there I was pointed to DU. After Yahoo eliminated that board structure for their current one, they kept the Titty Board online...we never figured out why, but it was pretty cool.
