DU plunging in popularity, no new user registrations in 15+ hours

[Awsi Dooger]

I've been logging in all day and the meter is stuck on 49455. As verified by this Lounge thread from Sunday morning: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1606171

Unless the update software is screwed up or rests on Sunday, at this rate we'll hit 50,000 -- never.

1. Registration is turned off

I think there were some minor malfunctions around 7:00 this evening.

4. That makes more sense

Just puzzled me to look at the same digits all evening, two 5s beating a pair of 4s, with my Las Vegas mindset.

Promote the Democratic Underground as much as possible to increase the number of members .

7. I'm crowing about this place at Meetups

I get my news from LBN daily now, and there are several people I've talked to who do the same though they are mostly lurkers. I'm hoping to get more at the next gathering in two weeks.

Let's see how quickly we can pass Freep...talk up the DU!
