Spread the Love and Support Democratic Underground! It's Valentine Hearts Week on DU

This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Announcements group).

It's that time of year again! Spread some goodwill to your fellow DUers...



It's almost Valentine's Day -- time to Spread the Love to all your friends on Democratic Underground! From now until February 15, we're doing our annual Valentine Hearts promotion. Purchase a DU Star Membership or renew your existing membership, and we'll give you Valentine hearts to share with your DU friends. For every dollar you spend, you'll get one Valentine heart.

Already a DU subscriber? You'll get some hearts to share -- we will send you a DU Mail message shortly with instructions.

Hearts are $1 each
Get 10 hearts for $10
Get 25 hearts for $25
Get 50 hearts for $50
Get 100 hearts for $100
Get 250 hearts for $250
Get -- and give -- as many hearts as you like!

After you complete your purchase, you will immediately receive a DU Mail message containing simple instructions on how to give away Valentine hearts to your friends.

Ready to get started?

Click here to Spread the Love!


And now, a quick word about primary season on DU...

While I've got your attention, many of you have been asking whether we're going to be opening up a separate forum for the Democratic presidential primaries, as we have in the past. The answer is yes. Once Valentine Hearts week is over, we'll be unveiling the new forum and our plans for primary season. The new forum isn't going to be quite the same as it has been in the past -- we are doing things a little differently this time around, and we hope you will like what we have in store. Soon after the fund drive is over, we will make an announcement explaining everything.


So with that said... thank you for supporting Democratic Underground!

It seems I get my expiration notice several days before the hearts start and I end up making 2 donations. I don't mind too much but I'd rather NOT be without a star and also be able to give out lots of hearts. This year Grovelbot can get his money and I get my hearts too!

Is it possible to continue this during the year? Occasionally I see DUers complaining about ads here or lack of money, and I’d like to be able to buy them a membership on the spot. I’ve already forgotten their screen names now, though.

However, you wouldn’t get hearts for the donation. I think it’d be fun to do this for the 4th of July with firecrackers or Halloween with pumpkins. I’d buy them just because it’s fun.

there was no way to buy a membership for someone else. Just wondering if that could change. Seems like a win/win.

I paid for a Star Membership renewal earlier today and my membership still isn't updated (two more days to go). I didn't get my hearts either.

Sent you an email, Skinner.

I just renewed my subscription last week, and today I received an automated message telling me I have some hearts to give out, but there is no link to the hearts.

I'd like to do it, so could I have some hearts, please?
