[Quantess]

Do you go there, and if so how often in comparison to the DU? Do you post at Daily Kos?

1. Been a lurker at Kos for years

Lots of great reading and comments, but I'm a bit afraid to join them as they seem kind of cliquish and unkind to newbies sometimes.

[fredamae]

13. I joined awhile back

not "that" active-kinda like here--Might be cliquish? I've not paid attention/not noticed. I've never had a negative experience w/any of their members. Jump in
I like the folks over there--and--I like folks here

2. DU is my go to site.

I take a run through my selected bookmarks on my phone many times a day. Kos is one of them. I do have a hard time with the formatting on Kos & Crooks & Liars.

3. Old membership, can't remember my password....

only go there through a link.....never comment

still have bitter issues from 2008 primaries with their members....OK, I'm unforgiving and stubborn, so there.....

[NYC_SKP]

9. Same here. The site sucks to me.

Long term members bashing you for post quality issues.

Fuck that shit.

On DU I can post great news, awesome diaries, recipes, or Tapir penis videos, and nobody complains.

DU is the cat's tits!

4. nope

I selected other because there wasn't a simple "no". Don't go there and never had an account. DU is the only political oriented message board I frequent. I do participate in other forums, but they are hobby related - such as games.

[Quantess]

7. Interesting. You know about them but don't go there.

They discuss politics as well, with a liberal/progressive leaning. Is there a reason you avoid them, or is it just non-interest?

[quinnox]

10. I don't like their format

I think it sucks how the board is laid out. In contrast, DU's format is superb and by far the best I have seen in terms of readability and being a clean and nice looking layout. Also, as someone else said, they seem awful cliquey there at Daily Kos, and not very welcoming or friendly, at least that is the impression I got when I looked at it a few times in the past.

DU satisfies my political forum needs excellently, hell, I'm going to donate something next week, I'm starting to feel guilty already going on and on about how great DU is and I know they changed it recently to make it real affordable for a star now.

[Quantess]

11. I also prefer the DU format.

Yes, DU is so readable, and easy to navigate. Daily Kos is not quite as reader-friendly, in my opinion.

Do they seem awful cliquey there and not very welcoming? Well, that is nothing the DU doesn't have! LOL... But at least we have the official Help & Welcome Forum. And we have smilies to greet newbies.

15. Don't care for the format at all either n/t

[justabob]

20. me either

I know about Kos, but I don't lurk there or participate at all. It isn't that there aren't good posts/people, but it is just too difficult to work with for me.

[Son of Gob]

14. Same here.

[budkin]

5. Discovered DKos first but still love DU

Check one after the other every day.

[MadrasT]

6. Only visit once in a blue moon, don't post there. n/t

[fredamae]

16. Well, then...it just so happens.....

There Is a "Blue Moon" on Fri August 31st See ya over there?

[xchrom]

8. i like KOS a lot -- but DU is easier to use.

i'm big on easy.

[Arugula Latte]

12. I lurk there maybe once a day or so, but I'm on DU way more.

[99Forever]

17. Only go there through someones link.

Just never caught my interest.

[ellisonz]

18. I don't care for Daily Kos. I like DU. n/t

[Quantess]

22. I like DU too.

What don't you care for?

[ellisonz]

23. Format, look, and feel.

[marmar]

19. I hate the format and look of Daily Kos.

DU is so much more aesthetically pleasing.

[silverweb]

21. If there's an interesting link at DU....

[font color="green" face="Verdana"]...and that link takes me to Daily Kos, then I visit Daily Kos. I don't have an account or post there.

[Ohio Joe]

24. Other

I've gone there from here to read linked posts... Some I've agreed with and some I've not but... I hate the design so I never stay except to read the occasional link.
