Please welcome my little sister, Song, to DU.

[Lyric]

She's going to be living with us for a while, so I decided to introduce her to DU. She picked a username that goes along with mine and Rhythm's--"Song". She's not very familiar with the internet yet, so go easy on her and don't post *too* many Narwhals and Breastfeeding Pit Bulls and stuff. :P

[Iggo]

1. Hey, Song!

Welcome to DU.

:hi:

[Swede]

2. Welcome aboard,Song.

Have fun here.

[Song]

3. hi all

Hello everyone

[Aristus]

5. Hello, to you!

Cool! :-) I'm your first official direct reply! :party:

Welcome to DU, Song! :hi:

Has Lyric warned you about the Freepers?

[Song]

8. no, not yet

What are Freepers? lol

[Aristus]

13. DU has a counterpart over on the ultra-conservative, teabagging, freakazoid side.

It's called the Free Republic. We call their users "Freepers".

Mentally, these guys are......I believe the clinical term is "bat-guano insane".

They send trolls over here on a near-daily basis to try to shake things up. They don't last long, usually because they exhibit a radioactive level of stupidity, and they get booted.

The official DU term for a Freeper troll getting booted is "tombstoned." Because that's the icon that gets placed on their user profile when the Admins show them the door.

The association with Tombstone Pizza leads many DU-er's, when sniffing out a troll, to declare "I smell pizza..."

That's enough info to help you survive your first day, Song. It's great to have you here. I've been here nine years, and the good feeling doesn't go away... :thumbsup:

[Lyric]

14. That was a pretty good summation.

Thank you!

I would also add that "Freeper" (as used on DU) can refer to just about any conservative fanatic. We don't actually care whether or not they post on FreeRepublic, lol.

[Aristus]

16. I'm gifted that way...

;-)

Oh, BTW, Song: if you run into some guy here calling himself georgew4ever or realmurkinpatriot or something like that, and their spewing stuff like "Go back to kenya Barrack hoosayn! Socialistfacist! america for whites only ,you DUmmies!!1!1!" or something like that (you'll get the idea pretty quick) hit the button on the lower left of your screen marked 'Alert'. That'll bring the Mods running pretty quick.

Oh, and have fun! :P

[Song]

17. thank you,

Thank you for all the info. Im sure from what my sister tells me it will come in handy, :)

[RetroLounge]

18. It may also refer to Midlo at times

[Song]

9. oh, that's nice.

I don't know many of my sisters friends yet. Nice to meet you. :)

[Lyric]

10. TZ is evil. Be careful!

She's a pharma shill. :scared: :P

But she isn't NEARLY as bad as that freaky math douche Dr. Strange. :D

[TZ]

12. OMG!

You did warn her about him didn't you-- we don't need the freaky pev scaring the nOOb..

[Hawkeye-X]

36. Yes, Dr. Strange is strange.

Just don't ask him what his signature was a few years ago.

[Dr. Strange]

47. This is what I want my sigline to be now:
