90,000 USER REGISTRATIONS AT DU!!!

[PCIntern]

This site has been the life raft for so many during these years of intellectual and political 'famine'...

Congratulations to all...

1. Enchante. Saludos.

:toast:

[liberal N proud]

2. I noticed that too, wonder who 90,000 is?

DU sure has grown in the last couple of years.

:toast:

[Skinner]

3. Cool. Look at that.

90,000 exactly.

[Lochloosa]

9. Anyway to know who is the 90K?

It would be fun to antagonize them a little. :evilgrin:

On Edit: Congrats!

[Skinner]

12. As a matter of fact, I do know who it is.

But I'm not sure if I should tell.

[ozymandius]

13. Could you subtract the number of banned registrants and offer an

actual number of active DU members?

That would be interesting.

[LifeDuringWartime]

20. probably a good idea

maybe the servers could breathe a little if long inactive accounts were deleted?

[ohmy]

28. Skinner doesn't have the guts. You would be very dissapointed

:)

32. Groan...The number is available on this site

To even non starred peons like me.

About 70,000 active and 20,000 tombstoned

In other words, 20,000 have wasted a whole lot of time to absolutely no avail.

[TahitiNut]

26. Yep. It begins with an 'R'. (Let's wait.)

:shrug: :evilgrin:

[gordontron]

29. what is the cause of that feb spike? nt

[TahitiNut]

33. I dare not speculate.

:evilgrin: (There are certain DU rules of which I shall remain respectful.)

[mcscajun]

4. Woohoo! What a moment.

Can 100,000 be far off? :)

[notadmblnd]

5. I remember when it was just under 30,000

seems like a lifetime ago.

[TahitiNut]

27. I remember when it was under 9,000

It was a lifetime ago. :evilgrin:

[Eugene]

6. Hooray!

7. I can't stomach FR but it would be interesting to see what they...........

.....are saying about our fast rising numbers and the continuing decline of Idiot boy supporters.:bounce:

[annabanana]

10. What's DU??????????

:rofl:

[Lochloosa]

11. Who is DU and why do they keep following me?

:evilgrin:

[Joe Chi Minh]

14. Two quotes of Francis Bacon seem particularly apposite in

relation to our respective Governments:

a) "Nothing doth more hurt in a state than that cunning men pass for wise"; and
b) "All rising to great place is by a winding stair."

To combat this propensity of the Establishment, DU has provided us with a place where we can view and discuss the contributions to our understanding of some of the real luminaries in your society, informed by probity and good faith: a small but priceless minority of figures of varying eminence in public life: former civil servants and military, religious leaders, politicians, journalists, even, and not necessarily least, entertainers; while sometimes our colleagues here put their finger on the problem.

Long live DU!

15. Our newest member...

16. We hit the 90,000 mark

[YOY]

17. It's nice here...

A huge change from other boards I frequented in the past. Granted there are some grouches and others looking to pick a fight (or to enforce their opinion with freeperlike tenacity) but overall a wonderful oasis where you don't have to worry about being called nasty things for disagreeing with those who believe 'he who talks loudest, is right.' (I believe that aphorism goes to Bill O'Reiley.)

[Joe Chi Minh]

19. I believe it was applied to O'Reilly by Phil Donaghue. It's very

much O'Reilly's style, isn't it? Nature abhors a vacuum, so when it sees a political one, it fills it with...? Answers on a postcard please.

What do you think of O'Reilly, YOY?

18. in mid august when I logged in for the first time it was 75626 members

roughly 400 each month.

[bdamomma]

21. I hope our numbers keep growing.

Welcome to the light.

22. DU: Where we knew Bush would be the Worst President Ever...

...Before it was Cool!

[PCIntern]

23. That's really the issue...

during the Vietnam protest era, all the redneck types were gung-ho pro war, etc. Then after the fact, many if not most of them realized how phony the whole thing was and they sid, "who'd a thunk that?"

We knew...and we knew about this too...

Keep the Faith...

30. 20,000 are tombstoned Freepers

Out of curiosity I did some quick addition to see that 70,000 are active and 20,000 are tombstoned disrupters (in rough numbers)

I think that is an awesome stat. 20,000, count'm 20,000 bozos have come here and tried to disrupt and distort the mission of DU.

They failed.

70,000 active is an awesome audience and is a testiment to why so many have tried to stop those with a mission.

kudos to DU !
