What Year Did You Join DU ?

[Catchawave]

Poll question: What Year Did You Join DU ?

Just curious to see how long our most active members have been here. AND, more curious to understand DU Longevity :)

Thanks for playing !

1. Stupid election

:grouphug: 11/04

[Hatalles]

11. Funny story actually...

It was either after the second debate or the VP debate (2004 election) -- someone was complaining on the Yahoo boards about all the internet polls showing Bush/Cheney getting their asses kicked and linked to those 'dirty libs' voting on the polls over at DU. That led me here. Thanks, Mr. Freeper for showing me the road to DU.

:hi:
