Fat Che better get on that right away; that wikipedia description wasn't written by a primitive.

I wasted some time messing with their wiki page a few years ago.  Most of the stuff I did got deleted within minutes.

The website is owned by Democratic Underground, LLC (a limited liability company), and run by David Allen, who posts under the screen name "$kimmer"[4] while on the boards and handles most of the issues relating to the forums. The other two administrators, "EarlG" (of Washington, D.C.) and "elad" (of Portland, Oregon), handle the articles and technical issues, respectively.

That can not last long.  It needs posted at the DUmp to get them fired up.

It lasted a few minutes

It would appear that someone has added our website as a link.

I went to the wiki link and found all the aforementioned stuff cleaned up.  But at the very bottom of the page, a link to someone's doctoral dissertation caught my attention.  This has probably been discussed here before, but some broad did her paper on DU vs. FR, examining both as "communities".

Methinks I know where her allegiance lies after reading this tiny exerpt:

Moderation at Democratic Underground is handled much differently than it is at
Free Republic. There are rules for posting, and conventions, but they are not strict rules.
Language varies from the highly formal to the extremely vulgar, and the only language
violations that result in banishment (“tombstoning” in DU parlance) are racist language,
sexist language or language that denigrates another participant. That is, the notion of
civility one finds at DU is not based on the language itself, but to whom it is directed and
for what purpose.  Aside from the exclusion of overtly right-wing viewpoints, the site is tolerant of a wide range of attitudes within the larger category of “progressive.”

Now, that's hilarious.

Traves, I couldn't find it.

Traves, I couldn't find it.

They removed it, I noticed it earlier I made one slight change to the description I changed where he said a site that mocks democraticunderground.com to democrat underground.

I removed the Activist Corps section.. that only lasted a couple of months, and has not been active since 2005, not encyclopedic at all.

I've checked it a few times today and sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not.
