Good Morning and Blessed Lord's Day Deplorable-FReeper-Patriot-FRiends!
Today, June 11, is day 72 of our Quarter 2's FReepathon! Unreal, but that is the sad, shameful truth. Our Quarter 3's FReepathon commences in a mere 20 days!
Talk about never ending FReepathons ... we're about to enter that territory. We're at 89%, not even 90% which brings on the much heralded YELLOW!
Is this what you want?
I don't and I don't think y'all do either!
These multi-month FReepathons are not fair to Jim, not fair to Jim's dedicated FReepathon Team and certainly not fair to all of you, FR's loyal donors who carry the load for those among us who enjoy and use Free Republic but elect to participate and use us "free."
I wish we knew the screen names of the FReeploaders but there's no telling. I can only point you all to the donor information I have. (See below)
I and others have been wondering should we ask posters of Vanities to contribute $5.00 for each Vanity?
Would it help if we asked all posters of articles to also post a graphic with a link to our FReepathons as a means of getting more members involved in our FReepathons?
It's no secret that Jim's FReepathon Team is down to 3 or 4 full-time members. Manning the FReepathon threads every day for 2 months and longer equates to over 8 months out of every year.
The following people have made Free Republic possible. Thank you all for your support. Highlighted donors contribute $1/day or more! Thank you very much!
2017 Q2 — 458 donors (185 shown)
Scroll Down to see 2017 Q1 — 572 donors (297 shown)
As you can see, I am NOT listed, but I donate $50.00 monthly, so please understand that even this list is incomplete. My screen name can be found on the 300 Club.
We also have our 300 Club Roster, (shown below) which is up to date.
Unfortunately, our Monthly Donor and Dollar-A-Day Donor Lists are hopelessly out of date, with several of our members now listed on our Memorial Wall and others no longer participating at FR for one reason or another.
Your thoughts?
Suggestions?
Thanks very much.
God bless and keep you all.
THIS IS NOT TODAY'S FReepathon thread!!!

Yes.
Also posters excerpting & linking back to their blogs.
Especially them, as they are profiting from FR's traffic.
My broke ass donates when I can.
Sure, I’m all for a small charge on vanities. I do not want people charged for links to blogs because then you run into the issue of what is a blog? Breitbart was little more than a blog at one time.
An idea I had was anyone can read, but one would have to be a supporting member to post or reply. Another was banner ads for non members. JR wanted no part of it.
I gave $300. I’m not listed.
Honestly, I hesitated with my recent contribution because it’s clear FR is struggling to reach its targeted funding. I don’t want to give money to a venture that may not survive.
I appreciate that FR has no advertising, but I’d rather see ads than see Free Republic go away.
$5 per vanity seems reasonable to me but I don’t see how to enforce it. I like the idea of having a premium member designation where those who contribute can post, but freeloaders can’t.
I and others have been wondering should we ask posters of Vanities to contribute $5.00 for each Vanity?
Yes. In fact make it a requirement that all thread posters be paying members. This would cut down on duplicates and other unnecessary posts.
Anyone could reply of course, but only paid members should have the privilege to post a thread.
My two cents.
I would also like to know if Sean, the Canada Free Press blogpimp has contributed.
Thank you!
Publius found some that he thought were so damn stupid that he would tax them $500!
PERFECT
You’re awesome.
You are NOT part of our problem!
You’re GREAT!
Thanks very much, dearest LS.
I’m CERTAIN we can’t charge.
We can ONLY ASK.
$5 per vanity seems reasonable to me but I don’t see how to enforce it.
Moderators. Mods have the ability to review posts in advance. If they do this and confirm the poster has paid for the privilege, then great!
I see this as solving the financial needs of FR as well as cutting down on all the garbage posts here.
I understand. I know that rules and regulations get terribly complicated and that Jim needs to keep it all simple, which is the reason Free Republic is sustained by freely given donations that are not tax-deductible.
Thanks very much for your ideas and loyal support.
See? Your $300 donation is YUGE!
You deserve to be listed somehow, somewhere for all to see!
I doubt that you were personally thanked by your screen name, right?
Likely just by your state.
Yes, you’re right about the $5.00 per Vanity, which is why I used the word “ask.” We’d just have to make it known that Vanities post with understanding that $5 goes into the FR donation pot.
Thank you very, very much, be-baw for your very generous $300 donation!
LOL.
Some days, I wish we could.
I think too many rules and regulations say otherwise.
I have no way of knowing.
I posted all my links to sources and the lists I have.
I don’t have any sources or links that are not available to every member.
Why, thank you!
I posted that I made a donation. Jim Robinson thanked me in that particular thread. That was sufficient. When you keep and post lists, you always run the risk of missing someone. I dealt with that a lot at work. You want to recognize those that did a good job, but run the risk of missing someone. Thank you for your acknowledgement.
Happy to be here, and proud to serve.
***Your thoughts? Suggestions? ***
I cannot remember signing on - it’s been so long, I don’t remember as a Newbie, whether I was advised of the regs. So my idea is to advise ‘new FReepers’ of the rules for posting from restricted sites, copyrights, 300 word excerpts etc.
Also, notification that if they have their own ‘conservative’ blogs they have to I.D. the site. Plus, give FReeRepublic a favorable cross reference on their blog. A capitalist approach. Only approved/registered bloggers will be allowed to link to their sites on FR; for which a nominal payment is expected.
FReepers who post articles of interest are the most valuable contributors. FReepers who post only comments are a necessary part of all discussions and in some cases, entertainin.
FReepers who donate are appreciated and entitled to a vanity or two;) Been there, done that. LOL!!
