[struggle4progress]

[WilliamPitt]

1. Bob Boudelang

[taterguy]

2. The sex. The drugs. The rock and roll.

[struggle4progress]

5. DU really was better in the sixties. But the whole internet was better back then,

as far as I can remember

[dimbear]

9. In the old days, it was hard for tyrannosaurs to reach the keyboards.

Such short arms.

[Recovered Repug]

43. I thought the saying was:

"If you can remember the 60's, you didn't live in the 60's."

[struggle4progress]

45. That must be yet another thing from the 70s or 80s that I can't remember

[Aristus]

41. You're talking about The Grotto. Yes, I miss it, too...

;-) :P

[hifiguy]

3. I miss Conservative Idiots of the Week

That was always good for a belly laugh.

And when the Lounge was as busy as GD.

[pink-o]

14. Oh, Yeah. Top 10 Conservative Idiots was my fave.

Then there was a baby or something that took all Earl G's time, so he deserted us. Ah, well, I'm sure the kid is worth it:hi:

[petronius]

17. It sounds to me as though S4P is volunteering to take over responsibility for both

CIW and THMb - I really can't seen another reasonable interpretation of the OP, can you? :shrug:

[struggle4progress]

26. I was actually hoping to collect a bunch of fried-chicken-with-kudzu recipes

so I could wow folk in the cooking and baking forum with my culinary inventiveness

[Arkansas Granny]

Newyawker99 always seemed to remember you, I have no idea HOW.

I miss that.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Oh, yes! Me, too!

I don't know how she did it, either, but I miss her and her threads a so much. She was also my first friend on DU, welcomed me to DU on my very first post, back in early 2003. She was DU's one person welcoming committee. :(

[Sky Masterson]

8. I miss all of the babes

[madinmaryland]

[Kali]

18. I miss being blissfully ignorant

of the dark, mean, nasty, backstabbing, juvenile bullshit that festers below the surface.

And I'm not talkin about GD, either.:(

[WolverineDG]

23. here here nt

[Ptah]

39. It had been idle for a long while,

Tikki

[auntAgonist]

21. Civility.

So much in-fighting now.

One upmanship, narcisism .. mine's better than yours etc.

It's a shame really.

28. Bob Boudelang

Matcoms butt, and Underpants underpants

[struggle4progress]

29. Does anybody remember the glitch that allowed posting in the lobby?

Some genius, whose name I cannot recall, have the bright idea of hitting "post" while in the lobby, and was rewarded with a post (IIRC: "I wonder if I can post here") standing all by itself outside of any forum

I think the Admins fixed that pretty fast

[Kali]

30. I remember a funny glitch that happened with a deleted subthread

that somehoe was floating around by itself with no OP to be locked.

[struggle4progress]

31. how's computer hunting?

[Kali]

32. Hoping for some more votes,

but kind of leaning to the HP at the moment.

[Ptah]

34. When I had a Vista machine, it couldn't use my scanner/printer that works fine with XP

[Kali]

35. I seem to still have a mostly functional desktop

I just cant get it to connect to the internet.

Vista was a dud from what I gather. I'm a little skeered of the change to 7, but on the other hand I'm almost ready to try fooling around with a non-windows OS.

[Ptah]

36. On reflection, it was a windows 7

Something about 32 vs 64

[XemaSab]

37. I remember secret no-forum posts

They were like 4th dimension awesomeness. :D

[many a good man]

38. Bjork Adoration Threads
