The DemoOkie Forum is the original grassroots site of rank and file Democrats. I’ve noted before that the site, run completely on Snitz Forums while trying to be a portal, forum, calendar and blog all at once, is a bit strange. And that’s just the tech stuff.
But it was chosen, deservedly (although by default) as the “state blog” at the Den convention in Denver. Owner Calvin Rees set up a real blog to cover the big event and I said at the time that I hoped that they got a feel for the format enough to make some changes after the election.
What do you know, they took my advice! (Not. I’m sure they had other sources for making the obvious, rational decision.) At any rate, Rees has set up a new site, and announced that the forum will be, well, just a forum. Blog and events listings will be done via other means.
I’ve added it to my Oklahoma Netroots list, which is available at the Local tab at the top of the site, or right here.
Caveat: more than once, including today, I’ve had my head chopped off on DemoOkie forum for posting some info or opinion that seemed pretty uncontroversial. I’ve heard from others that it’s a mine field over there and dissenters are routinely banned by the admins. So consider yourselves warned.
Rena,
We have rarely banned anyone from DemoOkie.com but we have had to when a line was crossed. But we still are the longest running website for all Democratic Activists and the most read.
Thanks for all you do.
Calvin
