This morning, I was clicking around on this site to see if I could find anything to help a poster who was having trouble with his display. I was looking for the "Preferences" page which is accessed from the "Account" page.
And, at the very top of the "Account" page is this recap of my own account.
You've posted a total of 842 threads and 40,007 replies.
Now, I have been a member here for a while, but any way you slice it, that is a LOT of use.
I'll simply suggest that anyone who reads this, please check your usage. There is a FReepathon (fund raiser) going on. Every one of those 842 threads and 40,007 replies involved cost that has to be paid for.
I could do the math and post resulting fraction of a cent that I have given to cover that cost. It would be very, very tiny.
But, it would not be zero.
Please think about it. Thank you for reading.
I’m a monthly - $25. Get about 95% of my news from here. Well worth it not to have to depend on the MSM or even Fox news in these times. This is an important forum, folks. Help us out.
After you submit your info a page asks if you want your name posted or anonymous. The default is anonymous. You have to check the box to be posted.

I’m surprised that mine is so low.
Thank you very much, William Tell!!
Yes, that’s another deficiency of our current system. It was written as and add-on to our system and is lacking in design. We didn’t use our freeper ID/password as an access key because many of our donations come in from lurkers and we didn’t want to make them have to register to donate. We did have a special user access tool for awhile, but discontinued it. John says he wants to redesign and rewrite the entire donor system, but that’s going to take some time.
By the way, if your listed email address is current, you should receive a reminder message each month about a week before we process your monthly.
Meanwhile, you have freepmail (or will have in a couple minutes).

I donate $15 a month, plus extras if we have income. “Pay to play.”
I don’t recall it asking me that information. It used to but the last two times I donated, it did not. It may be my computer. I’ve had things go wrong and mysteriously start working again for no reason.
Folks, we have a new name at the top of the leader board.
Please freepmail me if you wish to be added or dropped from the mitten ping.
THANKS FOR YOUR ALERT to some of the raw facts of FR life.
May folks prayerfully consider what they can do.
Ping for a great cause.
Thumbs up on every point.
Without FR, I wouldn’t know “humblegunner” existed, and that would make the known universe less interesting. Good gravy, I might have to *shudder* watch television!
I don't know if that would be much of a selling point for a lot of folks. ;-)
Eh, that’s just people who haven’t spent much time in Texas.
You gonna put yer numbers up?

I've been here 11 years! I'm the silent type, but I read a lot! I don't think my husband can tell me any news that I haven't already heard, unless it involves a St. Louis sports team.
I can’t remember how to show the # of replies/posts per freeper. I know mine’s high, and my index is a pretty good one spanning 10 years.

Donate $20.00 monthly plus some extra during each Freepathon. Ping at you.
