Seems like DU membership has accellerated - up to 76,200+ -

[NRaleighLiberal]

is it my imagination, or are we picking up many more members much more quickly??? To all you new, recent DUers - welcome! Looking forward to hearing all of your voices. Wish it were 760,000....or more.

1. well, like a lot of us, people just drop by to see what's going on...

and soon you feel a need to post. Soon after you're hooked.


I sincere welcome to all new DUers. I hope many of you are Republican and independents that are here to help the country.

welcome

2. Seems like everytime there is a flood of new users someone asks this :/

3. Seems like an odd thing to notice after only 2 weeks as a member.

(on edit... or 3 or 4)

4. Remember that many sign-ups are prior lurkers , sometimes for years!

6. Very true.

But with that comes a certain amount of secretiveness. To presume to have some sort of knowledge of the site's members' behavior... it seems dishonest to hide behind a new member name and then criticize the behavior of members.

5. Membership was at a standstill for a few days.

Could be a backlog of people, although one of the mods mentioned that DU gets between 100-150 new members per day.

7. I'll say it,

Kudos to us...this afternoon as I drove down a two lane blacktop that I love through gorgeous weather, I pondered the difference between ourselves and Free Republic posters...It came down to this...when we blasted those we hated,only the targets were different...but when we described how to improve our country those from free republic could only suggest we grind/punish/eliminate a portion of the people who make up america.We have done better and must continue to do so...The messenger doesn't matter, but the message does...yours in peace.

13. Nope. When we call bush an asshole it is because he is one. When

they call kerry "a coward", Dean "unbalanced", Hillary "cold", etc.... they are projecting. And they are lying.

There is a whole world of difference between Democrats and the freepers. Freepers are an army of patsies. Role players, paid hacks, naive, etc.

When you get online with those idiots, if you know anything about history or the world, they cannot fight back. Because they are ignorant or playing dumb. It is all about teaching each other to be adolescent.

....

and by the way - welcome to the DU! How long have you been around? :hi:

8. Butt Boil Limbaugh refers to this site frequently, and that helps

bring people on board.

9. Probably because I have my DU bumber sticker on my car! Do you?

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. Sure do! Right next to my Kerry sticker!
