For anyone keeping track at home, July 7th 2003 is the furthest that we can google back.
Anyone have any idea why? Wasnt DU founded around 1999? Or am I way off base?
Democratic Underground is an online community where politically liberal people can do their part to effect political and social change by:
Interacting with friendly, like-minded people;
Sharing news and information, free from the corporate media filter;
Participating in lively, thought-provoking discussions;
Helping elect more Democrats to political office at all levels of American government; and
Having fun!
Democratic Underground first launched on January 20, 2001 and we are now in our third decade online! We are an independent website funded by member subscriptions and advertising, and while our members are Democrats and affiliated liberals, we have no official connection to the Democratic Party. Democratic Underground is a truly grassroots community where regular members drive the discussion and set the standards. There is no other website quite like it anywhere on the Internet.
We are always looking for friendly, liberal people who appreciate good discussions and who understand the importance of electing more Democrats to office. So sign up today!
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutusDU was essentially founded as a butt-hurt reaction to President George W. Bush beating Algore in 2000.
Personally have had numerous moles at the DUmp since 2003, a few still haven't received the granite tombstone. Yet.
Actually donated the bare minimum at the DUmp a couple of times (basically the cost of a soft drink or beer) just for access to the archives. And about half a dozen times was able to grovel to get a gullible DUmmy to buy me a donor star. It was invaluable for compiling our year end DUmmy "Top 10" stuff, back when Frank and I still did that.
Oh the olden days...
