I’m happy with my old date, but it would have been older if I signed up when I first lurked that ?feb/march?. Came here thru Whitewater. I was using my son’s computer at the time, and didn’t know I could use someone elses computer to sign up. I waited until I finally had my own to register. Idiot me! I was a newbie in more ways than one!!
03-Oct-2000, Best source of news on the net!
I signed up in April of 1998. Don’t know how to find the exact date. Never did an opus, have never been tempted to do so.
May 18, 1998.
27 March 1998, another of the Bill Clinton presidency inspired members of the class of 1998.
I am just a newbie. Only been here since June 2001.
for later
Eric Since Nov 28, 1997
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.
8 September 1998. It bears repeating - this place probably saved my sanity, especially working for an oh-so-progressive company in (shudder) Seattle.
9 / 16 / 98
I was here over a year before my brand-date. I wish I hadn’t changed my name. :-(
If Our Fearless Leader has a way to check on our history, I’d love to know the original date.

Election night, 2000.
I’m a newbie.. registered in 2004. I know I lurked for a long time before registering. I’m thinking it was a few years. I didn’t really start getting interested in politics until 1999. I voted for the first time in 2000!
This has made me consider...
I was here when Princess Di died.
I was here before Monica’s “mess.”
I really wish I could know the date!!!
Thanks, Arrowhead, for the ping.
Nov 28, 1997.....I was on vacation on a borrowed computer.
In the first 20 to sign up...can’t remember the number.
Sort of a newbe only since 2002.
