Are you new to DU? Welcome! [View All]

[UrbScotty]

Are you relatively new to the Democratic Underground? If you are, then on behalf of myself, newyawker99, and all the other "old-timers" here at DU, I welcome you!!!!!

Feel free to hit the 'reply' button and say Hi to your fellow DUers! Tell us about yourself, how you found DU, your impressions, and so forth!

Here are a few things to know:

1. DU is the best website out there! It were founded on Duh-bya's inauguration day, January 20, 2001.
   
2. The administrators--Skinner, EarlG, and Elad—work hard, but they’re also very friendly.
   
3. Many DUers say Lieberman is too much of a Bush supporter to be the nominee.
   
4. Most DUers consider Democratic Senator Zell Miller of Georgia to be a Republican.
   
5. A word of warning: The General Discussion forums are very hot with debate. Enter cautiously!
   

These links can also help:

This article by Skinner from January, 2001, explains how DU got started.

Do you know much about HTML (such as bolding, italicizing, or underlining text)? If not, this thread can help you.

Many DUers use jargon you might not understand. Here you can find the DU Glossary, compiled by DUer AmyStrange.

Do you still have questions? Most of our members are very friendly, so feel free to ask!

Once again, WELCOME, and have a nice time on the Democratic Underground!

(btw: I asked newyawker99 to start a newbie welcome thread; she asked me to do so, because she’s busy moderating. Our moderators are hard workers!)
