Hey, how about THREE CHEERS for the DU admins!!!

[SallyMander]

Don't know about you, but I didn't experience even a hiccup here today.

And while I'm at it, thanks for providing us this place in which to rage, vent, cry, scream, stress, angst, and ultimately CELEBRATE over these last eight years. :D

Finally, a shout-out to the mods, who apparently were zapping trolls at lightning speed today -- I didn't see a single one!

I was amazed at how well things went today.

3. Not only was it wonderful today ... it's been wonderful for the past 8 years.

Sometimes, DU was the only place to find solace during those dark days.

And it'll be great to be here in the future ... to hear how everyone analyzes the Obama Admin.

4. Excellent job by all the mods and admins. They made this a real fun time.

The forum never missed a beat. :thumbsup:

13. Good idea.

Thanks everyone for DU!

Skinner looked extremely happy in turtlensue's meetup pics (see: Lounge). As is so very well-deserved! :toast:

14. did the site even reach level 3 today?

:shrug:

[BumRushDaShow]

15. It was perfect all day

just one little hiccup around 9:30 pm (EST) tonight that recovered pretty quickly. Funny but I didn't even think about it until that happened and I saw this thread... And this considering we were all ready for a variety of defcon scenarios during the nomination acceptance and GE. Yet here during the inauguration, the biggest event of all, and it's smooth as silk.

16. Fashion critic's pizza get delivered?

YES ~~ Our Moderators and Admin ((((ROCK)))) ~~~~~~~~

..even if 'fashion critic' is still around.
