Free Republic is in need of some new functionality.
I ALSO think it would not be objectionalble to accept advertizing - we love capitalism here.
Free Republic does what Facebook does and did it earier. Facebook is worth billons and FR has to go begging each quarter.
This is too important of a site to have these kinds of problems 20 years into its existance.

Facebook is nothing but an identity thief’s tool kit.
Facebook stinks.
If you like it, go there.

Ad agencies aren't going to just want to put static text adds on FR. They are going to want to put elaborate images and videos that automatically start running as soon as you surf to the page they are on.
This will make loading pages on FR as annoying and painful as other conservative sites which have sold their souls to mammon.
No thank you.
I like the ads idea. We do support capitalism. Are FR donations tax deductible?
While I may love capitalism, I still prefer we fund our own board and keep the clutter of e ads off of this site.
I do.
I have a major objection to it.
We are not bought and paid for like every other single outlet.
Our only rules are the ones Jim decides to impliment.
And yes I object to the forum being changed.
One of the reason FR is so popular is it doesn't have the frills and goo-gaws that gunk up your computer and can be accessed on even a ten year old system with a slow connection. It is why you can usually get on FR even when everything else is down.
And it is why ex-pats and overseas military use FR.
Just not a lot of pop-ups something that you would actually have to click on.
Even if I wasn’t interested I’d click on them but when I wanted to.

What you see as problems others see as features.
You want FR’s existence to be dependent on and answerable to advertisers?
You want FR to be more like Facebook? Oy.
If you love capitalism, then you shouldn’t mind tossing some bucks FR’s way.
Really??? The advertisers would demand that Jim accept posts from Democrat liberals and muzlim terrorists...
Mr. Robinson does not want even the appearance of being behold to outside forces, not that he would ever be.
I applaud that stance.
By any means possible...
And to the post's parent....you can't do HTML....but you are proposing something better...??...
You ought to be proficient in the current form here....
I'd think anyway, but hell I live in OK
