Scythian - Since Dec 29, 1998
I've given my opus a few times but always came a crawlin' back. I figure if they go by "join date" we old timers will go first ...
So any active Freepers out there have joined dates more ancient than mine?
It was the month the Lewinski story broke . October,I beliEve.
27 March 1998, another of the Bill Clinton presidency inspired members of the class of 1998.

Since Mar 7, 1998
I lurked for about a month but finally jumped in with both feet! Loving it since Dec 13,2000
I am just a newbie. Only been here since June 2001.
I lurked for a bit. It was 2000 Election debacle that prompted me to join. I can’t believe I have been on here nearly 10 years.

I've been here, almost since the beginning. I've watched regulars come and go, suffered thru Ash and his/it's various identities, as well as Eschoir, whatever he was. The new format is great, especially since it works with both Firefox and Explorer, unlike more and more poorly coded web sites. I am also thrilled to be part of the organization that has the talent and participation that may have begun the grass roots movement that earned us all 3 Branches, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Presidency during the early 2000's!!
We just had another election and some formidable foes are now in power with help from the propaganda spewing Main Street Media (MSM) and Liberal Democrats who will say anything and do anything to retain their power.
I'll continue to do my part, if you will do yours. It's a viral thing.
Bravo FreeRepublic, God bless us all.

Since 12/22/1997. I’ve seen them come and go.
4/17/98 under a different screen name.
YEAH!!! But I think I’ve been here longer...we had to do a restart....:)PLUS, I;ll bet I’m OLDER than Pete!!
I was just happy getting news from various sources that were not totally left leaning. I would read articles and just love reading the wit the FReepers had about the liberal slant. I think the election season made me sign up and I have loved it ever since.
May 18, 2000!!!!
8 September 1998. It bears repeating - this place probably saved my sanity, especially working for an oh-so-progressive company in (shudder) Seattle.
I know, CONGRATULATIONS!
There have certainly been a variety of frauds and pretenders. I have also met in person a FR poster or two that were probably people that belonged under professional mental healthcare. (Not as high percentage as the US Congress of course, but we do have our nut-jobs).
