Where would you post if DU "disappeared"

Shame on me for even thinking such a thing!




But where,

Where oh where would we go?

2. I'd probably stay with non-political pet groups and stuff, until I was
pointed in the right (left) direction. Now don't give me nightmares.I was only placed in this shelter a few months ago, and I would definitely have separation anxiety.

9. REALLY - I'll check it out and bookmark it!
.
.

Done!

I put in my "application" - HERE

I, like many others rely on this board for links to the Real News,

information and expertise on MANY different items/issues

AND of course,

24 hour entertainment should I feel the need!

:evilgrin:

:thumbsup:

7. On my refrigerator...
I'm spoiled to DU now. No other site comes close. Let's hope it stays around forever. I mean even if some of our candidates gain power and fix things, we should still come here and discuss ideas. If anything, we can piss off the repukes in Freeperville like they do us. They so try to rub our noses in the fact that they are drunk with power. We should really return the favor down the road.

22. hmmm - I didn't pay no nevermind to the post you responded to
.

But the "LOL", witn NO explanation, made me a wee bit curious.

Enter . .



and among sites containing the term "http://militaryescorts.com"

I stumbled across this:

Shock and Indignation! Another Republican Fag Gets Caught With His Pants Down

As the culturally conservative noose begins to tighten evermore in this country, I can always count on some sycophantic, oily Republican screwing it up for the Bush Revolution. As reported at The Daily Kos, hack journalist Jeff Gannon - a.k.a. Jim Guckert - has had several web domains registered under his name. Unfortunately for Bush and Co. they aren't names like OnlyOneManAndOneWoman.com or WeDesperatelyNeedArabicSpeakersInTheMilitaryUnlessThey'reGay.com.

No, these sites include: www.militaryescorts.com and www.hotmilitarystud.com. Well, I suppose at the very least it plays to the patriotic fervor rampant in this country. It's not like he started www.transexualfootfetishwithanimals.com.

14. www.metroboards.com/news
I'll bite for the free plug.

This is my site MetroNewsNetwork

Naturally I would love to get more members, I already get tones of traffic but mostly lurkers since my links get shared all over the web.

I'm looking for people who would like to help develop the site and bloggers who already have their site, who want to share their knowledge and post commentary and even share information with each other.

All are welcome :D

15. I used to post at SmirkingChimp.
I don't have too much interest in going back there though.

I don't know where I'd post. I don't know if I'd post.

18. I have, from time to time, read their boards
but not regularly enough to have a sense of the place. Thus it was the first thing that came to mind as somewhere I might try out in the situation suggested in this thread (may that never need be a case - to have to find somewhere else). Thus, I am curious about your comment - why would you not go back?

24. I was an old timer, with over 4,000 posts.
I knew everyone and everyone knew me.

After a while it became an exercise in repeating myself. It became very provincial in a way.

In particular I got tired of reading the same anti-Democrat and the same anti-science threads that popped up over and over and over and over with clockwork regularity, usually started by the same people with the same agenda.

When I first came to DU, I didn't like it much, but I really didn't understand its structure or how to use it. Now I love this place, even though it has been necessary for the moderators here to reprimand a few times because of some bad habits I developed over there. DU's advantages are that the focus is broader, the rules are clearer, and the structure, which allows for more esoterically focused conversations, allows for a higher level of discourse in general.

The Lounge too is a great place to get a little silly and blow off some steam in a very tragic time. I love that its here.

20. money is power....
and even though the 'fix is in' re the mediawhore 'news' and even though DU'ers are scattered and relatively few the fascists must be very careful trying to control the internet lest the hardcore nazipoos turn on them (strangely enough, freepers and l-dotters etc may be our biggest asset, lol)....but just in case i'll increase my contri this year even though my beasts hate 'purr' (a very cheap'n'awful catfood; i wouldn't even feed it to a dog!)

Actually, do you think we'll even have internet access in the internment camps? At best, it'll be dialup.

26. Perish the thought. I'd probably have to go back here:
www.datalounge.com

That's a site where I used to post. But they're just way too bitchy in that place...a whole wack of snotty, self-important queens who are basically just jerks. I'm sure glad there's no one like that on DU. :-)

27. Other boards.
Edited on Sat Feb-12-05 12:11 PM by TheOriginalAmerican
Well, you can always post where a lot of the banned members go such as People for Change, Conservative Underground (a place to meet former DUers and a place to confront those who you know are freepers here and can't prove it), and perhaps others.

Where are some other places that banned members normally turn out at?

29. I run a small forum ..nothing at all like DU in size or diversity..
but I guess that's where I'd have to post. I've only got about 30 members but it serves it's purpose. Sometimes it's hard to get people motivated but when they are .. it's great.

31. in DC with a sign where's my DU
Look people we are talking about the right of free speech, I have been on DU since Nov. 04 and most of it is based to a link, a direct observation or statistical analysis or research. There is evidence to back us up; I can't see them busting down our doors and grabbing our machines for spreading malicious rumors.
