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?
I do! Thanks for refreshing the old memory!
There have been so many favorites over the years. My all-time favorite, though, was Quidam. Never did figure out where s/he was coming from, but I loved the haiku.

Been here since ‘68, what little I remember of the 60’s. Witness Protection changed my name and pseudonym in ‘99.
No I didn’t go back on Dec 5, Texas is a little too far.
We took HUNDREDS of those signs with us.
That was that gang of 20 or so Teens to Twenty Somethings of a decidedly East Asian/Eurasian Cast. Those kids came from Cambodia, Viet Nam, Thailand, Philippines, Big China, Korea, United States, etc. The basic group core is still together and still as Conservative as ever. They vote straight Republican.
April 23rd, 1998...
I didn’t remember that guy. I did do a speech on the Foster murder evidence in a public speaking class I was taking at Montclair State at the time. That blew the professor’s mind and I also did a research paper on Chinagate in my pol. sc. class that infuriated my professor. Ah, back to the past..........

Hell I remember the Whitewater podigy boards
I didn’t see them but someone was giving out pieces of peach satin ribbons with straight pins like the aids ribbons near the Washington Monument when I got there.
Don't forget the Y2K fear mongers.
congrats - I saw at least one other in this thread with the 11/28/97 date that JR has.
My husband (10/22/99) got me hooked. FR is my home page on all my browsers and all my computers.
I’m hooked. sigh
People who didn't have to do anything about it just have no appreciation for what it really entailed ~ no, I didn't panic, but doggone, it happened.
June 27, 1998 ..... BUT .... joined in '97...computer crash....forgotten password
VOILA ! New join date.
Looks like an anniversary coming up!

How about Michael Gallutia, jgreen, freereb, blackcloud, navigator or Rob Noel?
If your computers were stinking, maybe it was time to replace them.
They got replaced a year later. Then two years later.
We never did get all the "2023" date situations cleared up, but I retired before that became any sort of a problem for me.
Just messing with you. Y2K tied up my companies programmers for quite some time. So much so that I got used to finding my own work around for stuff that I needed done, because I wasn’t going to get any programming.
