Well, we made the cut, I see.

[WheelWalker]

Now off to find the rest of the Biden Bots.

[woodsprite]

1. Here's one! n/t

[gateley]

5. Hi!

[livvy]

2. And another here! n/t

[WheelWalker]

3. If we want to keep this group going, I'm thinking we all need to "subscribe"

There will be a campaign redux soon, and things are bound to liven up in here.

[livvy]

4. Yup, that's how it will work.

If not enough people subscribe, I think our little group will be eliminated. They are trying to weed out unused groups. It was posted on the "Announcements" page. We should post a note on FB and probably the old DU as well.

[gateley]

8. We have to subscribe?? Thanks for mentioning it - I'll click the button now.

[gateley]

9. Okay, done. I think we should get a little JBSG badge or something. Shouldn't we????

[gateley]

7. Hi!!!!

[gateley]

6. Oooooh! Squeal!!! We're here!!

And I just rec'd your OP! That's new "in here"!

[gateley]

10. Hey -- how'd you get your avatar? Can we "bring in our own"? I was trying to

add one but I didn't see the option. Do you know? I don't want to go out with the hoi polloi to ask.

[WheelWalker]

17. I understand that "adding your own" will be following shortly.

I'm in breathless anticipation of the campaign season.

[gateley]

22. Good - where did you get the Guy Fawkes face?

I'm kind of looking forward to it because last time after we had a candidate, the in-fighting stopped (for the most part ). This time, people will still be whining about Obama and how they just can't vote for him -- or WORSE, that Hillary should have taken Joe's place. Perish the thought!

[WiffenPoof]

11. I'm Still Here...

...formally known as "Steely_Dan"

Good to see you all.

-P

[gateley]

14. Good to see YOU!!!!

[WheelWalker]

19. Fascinating.

I've got a ca. 1968 version of the WFF 'N PROOF game in my bookcase at Dharma Gardens.

[PatSeg]

26. Hi!!!!

Now you're WiffenPoof? I'm sure there is a story behind that one.

[UrbScotty]

12. The fact that this group still exists is a big f***ing deal!

[gateley]

16. Bwah! And Amen! nt

[WheelWalker]

20. I'm told you can drag emoticons from op to reply?

Haven't tried it. Notice replies in full view are now indented. Full view also seems to be the default. Many new aspects to learn.

[gateley]

25. There's no quick link to the smilies -- YET -- but you can still type it in, surrounded by colons.

LOTS of new stuff to learn! What an enormous undertaking by Skinner and the gang -- and so far, pretty damn good!

[PatSeg]

13. Okay, I'm here too!

Hi everyone!!!

[gateley]

15. Good of you to drag yourself away from the farm.

[PatSeg]

27. I left the farm over a year ago

No more role playing games for me, but I still play some Scrabble.

[gateley]

29. How come?

And do you play scrabble against someone?

[PatSeg]

30. This is so cool

I love the "My Posts" feature!

Oh, I just burned out. It was becoming more like an obligation than fun.

I play Scrabble with several relatives and I usually get beat. For stress relief I play Bejeweled Blitz, which requires no commitment at all.

[gateley]

31. Understood. I just play scrabble against a computer player and I always win since I

choose "novice" as my opponent.

[PatSeg]

33. That is so funny!

Nothing like being in control.

My sister is a Scrabble Shark, but it just makes it sweeter the few times I do beat her.

[Wait Wut]

18. Present!

[gateley]

24. Good!

[jillan]

21. Only Joe Biden would bring me back to DU

Haven't been here forever....

But for Joe - anything!

[gateley]

23. Joe would appreciate it, I'm sure. nt

[PatSeg]

28. I'm starting to like this new format

though I'm still a bit lost.

[gateley]

32. I feel like I'm missing out on some things/places, but it's coming along pretty well.

Someone linked to DU2 (where you can still post, by the way) and just going there felt like "ahhhhh" coming home. We'll adapt and adjust, I'm sure. Skinner, et al, didn't go through all this work just for the hell of it, I'm sure the wisdom of the changes will become more apparent to us as we become more familiar.

[PatSeg]

34. At first I noticed everything

that seemed to be missing, but now I'm starting to see all the cool stuff. Wish the Home page was more interesting, but I think I'm going to like it.

[gateley]

35. I think today they have news and stuff back up - it's a work in progress. :)

[PatSeg]

36. I'm surprised

at the extreme opposition I've read. A lot of people say they're leaving forever. Its always a challenge to navigate a new website. There were features at DU2 that I didn't find for a long time.
