Maybe pin a thread where the newbies can ask questions.

One question I do have that's bugging me. If I post something how do I know if somebody responds. That's the one thing I do love about DU. You post something people respond and then we get an awesome discussion going.

My other question is would the owners of JPR be willing to change the format to something more like this? We have a couple of developers here in the Bernie group. I'm sure most of us who are looking for a new home would be willing to chip in $10 to get JPR to a more user-friendly format. If a lot of us are going to be moving over there might as will do it right. I do agree with you there's already a site maybe we don't need another. Maybe we just need to make that one better.

This is what lead me there Kalidurga Apr 2016 #4

Thanks. Found many kindred spirits there. nt chknltl Apr 2016 #7

My understanding is they are Kos refugees Kalidurga Apr 2016 #8

Isn't there also a site with Kossacks in the name? I could have sworn someone at DU posted about it. merrily Apr 2016 #27

I haven't heard about that one. But, I wouldn't doubt it. Kalidurga Apr 2016 #31

I believe that DU has always supported only Democratic candidates, even from the start in 2001. CaliforniaPeggy Apr 2016 #9

Agreed - However, In 2001 Being Democrat Was Progressive - Now, Being Democrat Is Corporate. cantbeserious Apr 2016 #11

+1 In 2000, being a Democratic was in flux from progressive to corporate, but many did not know. merrily Apr 2016 #28

Exactly what has happened and is DU's direction IMO. Just like the current democratic party, I feel RKP5637 Apr 2016 #52

The NYT was a poor choice of feed. davenelson5555 Apr 2016 #20

Why a new board, rather than joining JPR or caucus99? merrily Apr 2016 #24

The software and format. MelissaB Apr 2016 #34

? But that board's format is not like DU's, either. merrily Apr 2016 #35

Melissa is a website designer. FYI. jillan Apr 2016 #48

Please see Reply 47. If the idea is that people like DU's software they know that. If she's willing merrily Apr 2016 #50

I do not know what replies look like in the Revolution site, but it is easier than JPR at LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #60

Those sites are ok davenelson5555 Apr 2016 #39

Thanks, but that does not answer my question. You could have worked with them on format. merrily Apr 2016 #44

I could have, but wanted to make my own site davenelson5555 Apr 2016 #56

I suspected that was the reason, but I was curious, aka nosey. Thanks for answering. merrily Apr 2016 #58

Okay. First, are you registered at JPR? If so, you can bring those issues up there to the admins merrily Apr 2016 #41

Oh yeah. I am registered. I posted a few times jillan Apr 2016 #45

I have already taken care of that. If you go there, you should get your questions about JPR handled merrily Apr 2016 #47

You're awesome. Like I said I bet people would be willing to chip in to help over there jillan Apr 2016 #49
