“This will also be a unique opportunity for newbies (anyone after ‘98...heheh) to read the thoughts and opinions of those who help start this site and propel it to stardom.”
Hardly sounds like a “newbies can learn” statement, but if that’s what you read into it, knock yourself out.

If you were here prior, please attend.
We’ll be using the self policing strategy.

That’s why I was wondering if the suggested cutoff should be ‘98. Lot’s of original MFJ people in ‘98.

Just out of curiosity, what was the first thread on FR and who was the first one to post to FR? Is there any record of that? I believe it was Video Killed the Radio Star.
I might be thinking of something else.

Still need to get my handle changed tho. Your not the only one who needs a handle change. someone private mailed me asking if mine was in reference to lubricating a you-know-what...
I would double my monthly for a year to get a new handle and keep my sign-up date, any takers out there in admin land?

I was a lurker in ‘97. Discovered you on Drudge. Caught my attention because I was born in Fresno.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
If you don't know what the Dims are up to it's rather hard to counter.

My date says November 98, but I know was was here long before that. I do remember when I registered after months of lurking, however. Something someone said just made me finally sign up and reveal myself. I just HAD to answer back! :) Name? The Clinton dramas made me afraidfortherepublic.
To: Bob J
Wow...I was 8 years old when FR was founded!
BTW though, I thought I read somewhere on the home page or a link from the home page that FR was founded on September 6, 1996

oh yeah—sorry I’m not trying to take up space here since I’m a newbie, I was just wondering when exactly FR did start, since it says 96 on the home page but there don’t seem to be any members with registration dates beyond 97.

November 28, 1997, was the day registration began. I was on vacation and just happened to check in via Drudge and, I think, Whitewater. Registration was required that day, so I did.

To: G8 Diplomat
Jim had a forum on the old Prodigy politics board but they kept censoring them so he started his own BB with a few people who came over with him. It stayed small for a while but eventually Drudge linked his “Whitewater Files” and it started to build.
It attracted lib trolls who at first were okay but then got nasty. Before registration we used to post with full names and eddresses. Jim instituted registration to get a handle on the trolls and give us an opportunity to change to lower exposure screen names.
