Do we have more or less members than FreeRepublic right now?

[Bicoastal]

How would I find this out?

[Skinner]

1. I believe we have always had fewer members than free republic.

They got a five year head start on us.

[Bicoastal]

4. Yeah, but with McCain at the "helm" of the party, might we see that number go down?

:evilgrin:

[Liberal Veteran]

9. Yeah, but probably only because so many people get lost in that horrible design at FR.

If anything, DU has ALWAYS held the upper hand on an easy to read and navigate site.

2. I think they have a few more.......

but we have better quality!

3. A commonly accepted number is ~5000 unique posters a week here at the DU.

I have no idea what the numbers are at FR. I know there are internet traffic sites/software that can tell you about site activity.

5. I see a new name everyday with 1000+ posts and I've been here for years

At least all our posters can spell.

6. RE All of our posters can spell

You obviously haven't read many of my posts. Between the typos and the words I actually don't know how to spell, I'm surprised anyone on DU manages to figure out what the heck I'm talking about.

7. I obviously HAVE read many of your posts ... believe me, you're an English major next to freepers

It's frightening to go over there.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

8. Or mine either for that matter.

My post are often a mystery even to me when I go back and reread them. :P

13. As I said, compared to a freeper, we're all Rhodes Scholars n/t

10. depends how you count them

If you are only counting human beings and not slack-jawed cavemen, then DU has the numbers over freerepublic.
