Good job on keeping DU up and running through all of this! It's been hard and discouraging and scary, with a lot of feelings from 2016 coming back. Having DU to come to most of the night and this morning is SO much better than watching talking heads on the TV. I'm tired and not expressing it very eloquently, but just ...
Thank you, guys!

And a shout-out to Skinner too, since for most of those four years he was part of making today's smoothness happen.
Thanks, kindly!

(4,548 posts)To the DU gods:THANK YOU! You kept us safe through day and night as we walked a treacherous path. Thank you for the sanctuary. And to all of DU, thank you for the fellowship. It would have been a dark and lonely night without you. We have a way yet to go, but I firmly believe at this point that we will be victorious!

At this moment, it's especially important to be able to stay in touch with our DU family, it certainly helps on an emotional level.
Hats off to you!

(51,308 posts)But we sure dont seem to have the traffic here we used to.
I remember when they closed down to only star members and smilies couldnt be used...and the front page moved so fast I couldnt keep up.
Its not like that here anymore.

(2,809 posts)For all the near-sanity grounding DU in general has provided myself and undoubtedly, sooooo many.
From the early "top 10" lists that got me hooked, to now the dead serious consequences of nonsense...
