Ummmmmmm. Hello?

[curse10]

How does DU look exactly like it did in 2006? (Or at least how I remember it in 2006?)

Any old timers still around?

5. It underwent a big visual change once

but I’m too fucking old to remember if that was pre- or post-2006. I remember I HATED the new look at first, but now every time I hit the old archived site on a search I shudder out how ugly it was. . .

6. march 2004

so coming up on 14 years

I miss a lot of the old "columnists" like Plaid Adder.

Sad to say, the Top 10 Con Idiots was pithier and funnier.

OTOH I really enjoy TheFerret rants. Those crack me up every time.

Seemed more clubby back then... and fewer trolls trying their best to stir up crap here.

15. I was just thinking we haven't had a clique war in a LONG time!

newbies come and go and a few stay around a while. Oldies still hang out and nobody seems to try to exclude anybody. New classics like The Door Buzzard are born.

It's nice.

17. We just had one a few months ago over

one of my favorite posters from San Deigo. Apparently, she went off the rails over some "conspiracy theory" type stuff and got herself suspended which turned into a ban.
I didn't have any opinion about the controversy but she had been one of my favorite posters before that happened.

21. wasn't that in GD?

If it's the same person I'm thinking of, I don't recall her ever being a Lounge Lizard.

7. I was a long time lurker since maybe 2011, it has looked

the same to me.

9. 2004 here. DU2 - looked quite different than this version (DU3).

Wait - I've been here for 14 years? Yikes!

[mucifer]

10. I had to look at my profile it says Oct 2005. Oy vey how time passes.

[Aristus]

11. Still here.

September made it sixteen years that I've been here.

If you want to get rid of me, you're gonna need some Kryptonite...

12. Welcome back! I do remember you!

I've been here since DU.1 - January 2003!

We moved to DU.3 in December of 2011. I never thought I'd get used to it! But then I felt the same way about DU.2!


And here's DU.2:

13. Class of 2001 (March?), and it looks a bit different now.

Not that much different, other than the ability to easily post pictures, and videos.

Though it has been a while, I remember this place was much more “bulletin board”, then multi-media.

14. 2001 as well, back in the old DC Forum days as the software started to get modded heavily

I was using that at the time new software on my own site.

16. hey

2004 here. A few people you may remember have passed on. Have you checked out the In Memoriam page at the bottom?

[Tobin S.]

18. I've been here since 2003, and since 2009 with this handle.

I used to go by Droopy. That account has been deactivated.

19. I've been hanging around DU for years.

20. Since 2003. Although not a prolific poster .

Are you returning from a sabbatical? A self imposed exile? Inquiring minds want to know.
