She graduates high school this year and will be attending James Madison University.

Wow. Either she grew up real fast, or we're getting old. ;~))

2000 election was rough. In 2004 I had the jacket from Unfit for Command taped in the back window of my Massachusetts registered pickup. Used to get about 50-50 thumbs up and middle fingers. To Xzins question... I adore the lack of ads and the dependence on sponsors. I would stay if Jim decides to move to an ad based model and would certainly pay for an ad free version. I’d like it to stay the way it is, but with Freepathons taking longer every quarter, I understand the need to at least look at alternatives. j_tull 10/15/2000

See if this helps.

Yep. They say time flies when you're having fun.

Seems the older I get, the faster it seems to fly by. But I am having some difficulty remembering all the fun I have had lately. Maybe just a heart beat counts now. ;~))

Signed up I think April ‘99 but lurked from almost the beginning. First saw JR’s writings on the Prodigy Whitewater board pre-FR days. Check my profile for my history. Loved the activism here in the early days. And the research. Was cleaning out some old files recently and found the old printed pages from posters here researching the various Clinton scandals. Incredible! I agree with others who have posted that sadly the tone has become one of a circular firing squad recently. Obama (and those backing him) is worse than Clinton. He has to go.

Been here since 12 Feb 1998. Haven’t missed too many days since. Met some of the old timers at the Oct 1998 March for Justice on the Mall in DC.

your sign up date is about when I started regular lurking.

didn’t sign up till I had been on a MS chat room with YRofT, Two Thirds Vote Aye, RAH, amom, Towanda and other fine posters for some weeks the next spring.

Wow! How the time flies! Turn around and they’re all grown up.

God bless her. You too.

The most recent disappointment is loss of members and reduced quality of posts and comments, due to the purge of Romney supporters.

It doesn’t matter whether their support was luke warm or simply getting behind the obvious nominee, they weren’t welcome here.

Yes, this is frustrating. It feels like people are heading for the exits. The Freepathon seems to confirm this.

Meanwhile, people are calling Michelle Bachmann a whore over on another thread for endorsing Romney. Classy.

Thank you very much, dalereed. We’re determined to keep her on the straight and narrow path, but man are we ever catching the flak for it. Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!!

I joined in Nov 2000 but was lurking some several years before that. I think we should not have advertising. I give a little each month. If all active freepers gave just a little we could avoid it.

I loved the long research posts - I miss those. We still have them but I don’t see them as often - maybe they are off on a hidden area or something. If any of you are in the super secret classified research group and would invite me to join I promise to just be quiet and listen! :-)

I also loved the funny threads, inside jokes etc. Laughing helps us keep our sanity in these crazy times.

I have learned so much about conservatism here. Read so many books recommended by knowledgeable freepers. I wish we could condense the knowledge here to teach our younger generation.

I thought I’d post some links to some funny, sad,and informative FR threads:

Freeper Memorials. Interesting to see that Tony Snow and Andrew Breitbart were both freepers (we old timers knew that but some newbies might not) from way back along with many other dear Freepers that we miss so much.

I can’t imagine how I’d have gotten thru the 2000 election, and 9/11 without Free Republic. I rarely go more than a couple of days without checking headlines.
