(95,337 posts)Yeah it's been like that since the 90s and yet the guy is constantly hosting fundraisers to raise funds for the site.
What he uses that money for is known by only RimJob and God. I remember a friend showing me Free Republic back in the 90s and it looks identical to what it is today.
Here at DU we're on our 3rd massive update to DU and honestly, you can tell the admins put alot of effort and thought into making a very user friendly website. In fact this was the first convention I remember where the servers didn't almost crash here at DU. The other two conventions during DU's lifespan (2004/08) the admin's had stuff setup so if the server was overwhelmed with posters certain functionality would be cut back to ensure we could post. This time - not a single blip of downtime.
And we don't have fundraisers for the site anymore. You can get a membership which will remove the ads or you can just post for free - doesn't matter.
So welcome to DU
