Why donate now?
Edited on Sun Feb-05-06 01:48 AM by awoke_in_2003
Just got to thinking that I have been lurking here since 2003, becoming a member in 2005, and just passed 500 posts. In that time, I have received much from DU- real news, intelligent discussion, and a more than occasional chuckle. It is now time to give a little back.

Skinner, EarlG, and the guys put a lot into keeping this site alive and active, as is evidenced by the fact that the site will be down during the Super Bowl for upgrades. This type of thing does not come free. So if you have the means, and can spare some money for a good cause, click on that little DONATE button on the bottom of the page. I am sure the guys will appreciate it. As an added bonus, you get that cool little star next to your name, the good feeling that you are helping to keep this site going for those who can't afford to donate, plus a DU bumper sticker to piss off all those freepers :)

Thanks to all here who make this site the lively and intelligent place it is.
