I seem to remember googling something years back, and stumbled across it, then I remember reading about discoverseattle on DV.

how long ago did DS start?

hi dver, i discovered dv on the day that that south american was shot and killed in the london tube. he was apparently mistaken as a terrorist. i think it was almost exactly 3 yrs ago. anyway, i was googling for info about it and found dv.

I can't remember. I would say for myself, DV was back in its glory day. It had graduated from new puppy to a well behaved 1 year dog. I think... it was in 2004. It was a time when you can actually have good conversation, good debate and nobody (relatively speaking) insulted anybody. Since then it has gone downhill where the only topics on board were about racism, nudity etc. etc. I mean, yes, it's nice to have contraversial topics but you tend to get bored after awhile.

DS. I'm not sure. Probably about a year later. I don't even remember how I found the website but it was created by TehBorken who got fed up with how DV was running. I like the community at DS, it's tight, it's a second home and the folks are beautiful, wonderful people.

The rest as they say, is history.

The last one they had last year... When they had a fixed thing and the guy won 100K... No way it wasn't fixed...

Propane tank being unhooked... Totally fixed... I remember a guy that called in when Buzz was on and he said propane tank and was almost instantly cut off with the buzzer and disconnected...

thx mandy, i found it as shown above. i just was not looking at my posts which is the only place it exists. i just got here yesterday lol and have been quite busy moving my car around in the underground because of ceiling work involving toxic overspraying(i keep a collectable car in storage not licenced for the road) and cooking etc... this stuff ain't easy when you're knocking back a scotch or two at the same time. oh, i just discovered a great bachelor meal--hi grade stewing beef with one can of classic chili and all the vegetables you like and can fit in. add water as needed and simmer.

raor, i definitely am going to try it. after all, i do come from english stock. hey, did you know the name 'lee' is entirely english and was brought to china by english explorers? i have a great gramma lee who has passed on, God rest her soul. i've never checked, but been told we are related to gen, robert e lee. anyway, lee is an english surname that was brought to china.
