If memory serves, it was 16 years ago today, Jan 14, 2008, that Vince and I launched the Dharma Underground on WetPaint, soon to become the Dharma Overground. Feels like another lifetime, wondering if internet years are sort of like dog years...

Anyway, Happy Birthday to this curious experiment and the remarkable conversations and friendships it has spawned! Thanks to everyone who has made it all it has been over the years! 

Daniel

How things have changed - we used to look like this, and the entire site was private and accessible by invitation only:

Thunder and rain do their work: Release.
A noble one pardons transgressions and forgives crimes.

Many blessings emoticon. And thanks a lot to everyone. Going through DO I indirectly found one current partners, friends and most importantly insight.

May all beings practice well and be free from suffering.

Geoffrey, can you give me more details? Like, what am I to be watching for, and why?  You can DM if you don't want to post the info here.

​​​​​​​Thanks

my dms seem broken (it says null?). It should be fine, but a lot of new people are seeing MCTB2 for the first time, so I just expect we might see new users soon with different communication styles and preferences and what not

Geoffrey, I appreciate your concern, but this has been happening on DhO for many years. I try to remember that new users are important. They keep things fresh, sometimes spicy. If things get out of hand, we'll handle it.

FYI - the messaging system (DMs) are working now.
