Hello, Lounge. You may not remember me, but I posted here many years ago

[sky_masterson]

Back in 2016 I think it was on election night DU went dark. I think it was hacked and Passwords were needed to be changed and I couldn't remember mine at the time, not to mention the old email address I registered under was dead.
So I went from Poster to reader for these last 5-6 years.
I tried to get my old account back but I could never get any response.
So I just made this one. My old name was Sky Masterson without a _ , before that it was GoPsUx.
I am now older,less dramatic,(a bit less cray cray), but living.
I hope everyone is well and safe/Happy.

[sky_masterson]

4. Thank you

[hlthe2b]

5. I remember you and obviously the DU hack. I'm glad you found your way back "_" or no!

[sky_masterson]

7. I still think that was a coordinated attack by the Repukes/russians

to help the Orange Twitler win.
Thank you

[ms liberty]

6. I remember you too - good to see you again! Welcome back to posting!

You might be less cray cray, but I feel like I'm more!

[sky_masterson]

8. Well, I'm still nuts, just a bit less

[markie]

9. remember well...

[sky_masterson]

[SheltieLover]

10. Welcome home, Sky!

I wasn't here in 2016, but I've heard horror stories!

I have every confidence that admin will reconnect you to your previous account!

Ty for sharing your experience!

[sky_masterson]

19. 2016 was such a dark time

the following years were pretty dark too

[SheltieLover]

21. Absolutely!

Just glad you found your way back home!

[Dr. Shepper]

11. Welcome back

I remember you.

[sky_masterson]

23. Thank you

Nice to be seen again

[denbot]

12. Welcome back

I remember you.

[sky_masterson]

24. Thank you

I remember you as well

[secondwind]

13. Nice to have you here... I don't remember you, but I certainly remember 2016 election night.

Welcome back!!

[sky_masterson]

25. Thank you

Nice to meet you

[argyl]

14. Welcome back. I remember you.

I've had some issues with getting logged out and having trouble with my account lately. But the guys who run this site are the best and I've always gotten back on, same username, same start date, etc.
DU's a real player now as far as internet sites go. Hell, I remember we'd be in competition with FR. Are they even around anymore? If they are they're so far behind DU they're not even choking on our dust anymore.

[sky_masterson]

27. I remember you

Yeah, I think I joined this place 16-17 years ago. I remember when I was a total newbie here and had really old timers from when this place looked so different.I came here from Bartcops forum originally. I'm glad DU survived and has grown.
Thank you for the welcome

[argyl]

82. I got here via Bartcop also.

[Aristus]

15. Welcome back, Sky!

[sky_masterson]

28. Who are you?

I remember you! Nice to see you.

[PJMcK]

17. I remember your screen name

But I don’t remember that you were “cray-cray”!

Welcome back to posting.

[sky_masterson]

29. There were times I was a little

But I'm in a better place now

[littlemissmartypants]

18. Hi, sky_masterson. I remember you. Welcome back. ❤

[sky_masterson]

32. Thank you

Sorry it took so long to reply. My computer is lagging bad today

[captain queeg]

20. I've had several accounts over the years when I forgot my user name or password

Welcome back

[sky_masterson]

36. Thank you

Funny thing was that I eventually found my old Password, but it was useless, since they were all reset and it was 5 years later.
Anyways.

[KS Toronado]

22. Welcome back for your 2nd run!

Remember me? I wasn't here in 2016.

[sky_masterson]

33. I hope you aren't from Kansas

Only goofy people like me are from Kansas.

[KS Toronado]

39. Magaloons are the only goofy people around

well, besides myself.

[bluescribbler]

[SallyHemmings]

35. Welcome back!

After the dumpster fire of an administration, followed by the Sinema and Manchin show.

I’m surprised we are all not more cray cray.

[sky_masterson]

43. lets just hope

We win a greater majority to make those two irrelevant

[AllyCat]

I'll try and make it a habit

[Donkees]

Kidding! Hi, Sky!

[sky_masterson]

41. Hello, my old friend

I definitely remember you. Debbie I think it was (Kidding)

[crim son]

Just not a very accurate one, L

[ornotna]

48. I do remember

Welcome back sky.

[sky_masterson]

53. Thank you

I'm really surprised to get so many comments and be remembered in a positive way.

Thank you

[CaptainTruth]

[sky_masterson]

55. Thank you

[niyad]

51. Welcome back. I thought the name was familiar when I saw the new member postings

the other day. Gld that you are with us again. You may be less cray cray, but some of us are more so.

DU going dark after what most of us assume was a deliberate attack seemed most prophetic.

[sky_masterson]

56. Yeah, I'm sure it was an attack by those wanting to hurt the organizing and GOTV

Had to be Repukes and Russian sponsored.
Thank you.

[lark]

52. Nice to hear from you again.

I remember your name because it reminds me of a tv show I watched as child in the late 50's.

[sky_masterson]

57. Bat Masterson!

Mine is Brando Inspired and stoked by my love of Sinatra.
Guys and dolls is my favorite Musical (Next to Green Days American Idiot)

[niyad]

58. I just watched "Guys and Dolls" a couple of weeks ago.

[sky_masterson]

59. I got the horse right here!

[tblue37]

60. I remember you.

[sky_masterson]

64. Hi

[tblue37]

66. Hi, Sky--and welcome home!

[Nevilledog]

62. I remember. Always loved your username.

Sorry to hear you're less cray cray.

[sky_masterson]

65. I remember your name as well

With my massive sinatra fandom I should have went with Nathan Detroit, but that was then.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

67. My dear sky! Welcome home, old friend!

Those were the cray days, weren't they? Omigod.

So glad to see you back.

[sky_masterson]

68. Hey CP!

Yes they were. When they were fun they were really fun, when they were dark they were far less fun.
But I met some really great people along the way.
Made some really good friends.

[Donkees]

69. Guess I'm on the ignore list

[sky_masterson]

70. Oh, hell. I did see your post

I thought I responded. My computer has been freezing and lagging, or it was earlier. I'd respond to a post and then it wouldn't reload the page. Damn windows 11.
You are most certainly not on ignore!
Thank you for the warm welcome back.

[Donkees]

71. Thanks :)

[sky_masterson]

72. You are welcome!

[Skittles]

73. whassup, Sky?

[sky_masterson]

WELCOME BACK!

[sky_masterson]
