4. Tomorrow

Unless we get another freep invasion.

7. how can you tell if newbies are freepers?

I'm always all "welcome to DU" and then I think, "if this person is a freeper, I don't really want to welcome him or her."
Is there some good "give away" that someone's a troll?

9. read their posts

[NewYorkerfromMass]

10. screenname and profile can give it away too

We will hit 40 k today imo.

[LuLu550]

11. yeah, I figure the posts

but it seems long before I get the idea someone is a freeper, the rest of the lounge has caught on. But I never check profiles. Perhaps I'll start.

15. Not really

I welcome everyone. One was very obvious last night and a few have spouted nothing but RW talking points. I must say the mods are really good here.

[Ediacara]

8. Today or tomorrow morning

[TXlib]

12. There are 39,992 right now

Only 8 to go...

I'd say in the next day or two.

Howdy! I visit here often, but haven't registered. I just wanted to help DU reach 40,000!

Welcome to the Democratic Underground. I mostly just lurk here myself.
