Most people on Daily Kos are (painfully) aware of Free Republic, the bottomless digital repository of bigotry, authoritarianism and hatred for most other Americans, all wrapped in 90's-era HTML. Usually, sane people who stop by there to check it out, find something utterly appalling within a few minutes of browsing, and close the page, never to return. Thus, there isn't a lot of detailed knowledge of Free Republic on Daily Kos.
One important feature of the site is that it is community-supported through donation drives called "Freepathons." In 2008, Jim Robinson, the site founder, seems to have decided to purge the archives of all but the current and most-recent Freepathon threads. This is a wise decision on his part because you don't have to go back very far to see that Free Republic is struggling to meet its modest fundraising goals.

Won't let me post a link, but we're mentioned on the top ten list at DailyKos - thought you'd be interested.

They forgot to claim that all Freepers are around sixty-seven years old.
Just like the latest Vanity Fair issue claimed about Rush listners.
Perhaps I should dye my hair grey, grow a ponytail and shave the forward half of my pate.

No more old stuff? I didn’t even notice.
The people date back to 1998.

It’s taking longer for freepathons to get to their goal, largely because of the pinched economy.
However, this would be chump change for the likes of Rush Limbaugh. Has Jim Rob thought of knocking on his door?

Kos and Puffington Host are such incredibly BUSY web pages. I don’t mean busy with people, I mean busy with clutter.

Wow, fearful much? Nope, nothing to gain except to post an inane column about the withering of FR, RIGHT!
This is a wonderful site and even though I am HTML challenged, I love the format. Thanks JR!
To: HiTech RedNeck
They’re cluttered with advertisements.
