You know, I used to think that way, until I realized, I lurked here for a couple years before I posted. I couldn't compete with the knowledge the whole group had. Then, I stuck my toe in, actually, I hid on the supreme court threads Hole-n-one managed during the gore takeover. Back then, the interenet was still in it's baby days. Now, people who post on other sites, think they understand how chat sites work, wrong, it's FR, not a 'chat' site per se, or, 'just another chat site on a blog'. Sometimes we need to work with posters, guide them and show them we aren't 'other' internet sites. If we keep that in our minds, we'll raise some good freepers.

I am an addicted Freeper.
Here I find more about what is going on in the world than any other place I can imagine. To me this is the best site on the Internet. If it became a subscription or fee based site I would probably pay for a while but the quality of the site would deteriorate quickly. Not everyone who posts now would pay the fee and we would lose the eyes and ears we once had, eventually we would be deaf and blind and there would be little reason for any of us to be here.
If there were some kind of "icon" or other "title" that would allow those of us that donated a small amount to use when we posted perhaps we would all be inclined to donate more frequently. There are a lot of us here mostly lurking around, a small amount from a lot of us would probably go a long way.
Keep the "Free" Republic Free.

If you have to ask how much it costs to post in breaking news, you cant afford it. I had one and only one Breaking News post stay up for about two hours. I expect to have my firstborn son back in around two years. I guess it was worth it...

Definitely,
C!
The guy's lived in EUSSR for such a long time, that he's become Yuropenized - why donate anything, you're entitled to it through a comprehensive system of over-taxation.
If he doesn't like it here, why not just join some site pay for site (NYT, for example.)

There's one 'little' humongous problem . . . . amongst others . . . with your suggestion.
Once upon a time, JimRob . . .
And . . . JimRob is quite understandably (last I heard), and quite fiercely (last I heard), and quite wisely (to my mind)
1,000% hostile to the whole idea of your suggestion and anything close to your suggestion.
And, I think he's right.
Lots of us think he's right.
Besides, it's his living room.

How many users subscribe to Rush's 24/7 site? I'll bet it's a fraction of his listeners.
To: Berlin_Freeper
Start your own subscription site.
Apologies if this suggestion was posted previously.
