OK, what was the name
of that stupid Republican website that was so popular years ago?
Someone that DUers used to call "Rimjob" or something like that ran it.

4. I remember when one couldn't even mention the name on DU...

8. The admins meant well, but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
I remain forever grateful I used another name for the brief time I tried it out.

5. I think FR still exists, but always did have trouble affording enough pellets to keep the hamster...
...spinning the wheel that ran their server. They think we're DUmmies. We think they're irrelevant.

7. Do you know, I actually discovered DU after reading some FR posts.
I followed a link from a post over there and realized that this was much better place to be.

13. Not to be confused with freep.com which is the Detroit Free Press
