I'm not new so much as I....got distracted is all.....

ts been a long time, I shouldn't have left you.....without a dope beat to step to....

Most of you probably don't know, I normally hang in GD and or Politics, but I've been gone since 2012ish. My other user name was 'Wolsh' back in 08.

Anyway- I figured this place would be the best place to get the dirt so I can jump back in:

Skinner still running things?
We still do jurys?
Star memberships ever catch on?
Meta discussion is all gone I take it.
Caturday still happening?
Any major board drama i need to catch up on?

Peace and love to everyone!

To the first three questions--yes. The juries have seven members now instead of six.

Meta discussion is gone; however, there is still plenty of meta occurring within threads.

Not as much Caturday occurring, but SCE still posts on Sunday morning about 6 a.m.

Major board drama--always, it wouldn't be DU without it. The major action seems to be in A&A (I stepped onto a landmine on Saturday) and Israel/Palestine. Lots of Hillary threads running about 50-50.

Skinner and juries are still here. Don't know if Star Memberships ever caught on. Ask the Administrators is the new "Meta." I think Caturday has been replaced by "Your Sunday LOLcats," posted every week by DUer SalmonEnchantedEvening.
