Wow!
It's been ten or so years since I followed an FR fundraising thread. The dedication, the technichal dexterity, the shear perseverence of the leaders is just astounding and humbling.
I believe, the last time I was really paid attention, there was a discussion concerning the servers to be purchased, the support required for such, and the necessity for funding.
Back in those days I would provide some dusty nugget bumps that were a year or two old.I hadn't any idea of the requirments to support the servers. The cost was astounding.
Meanwhile, Prodigy died off, Prodigy Internet died off, and I signed on with a dialup.
That puter died and I kind of drifted off as my net access was through my employer and limited, of necessity, by descretion. More so as my employer's IT folks got capable, and numerous.
That history being related, FR jumps!!!!
FR is by far the fastest sight I routinely use. The IT support here is outstanding!
That speed costs money! Get off your wallets. If you use this site, pony up. It is ridiculous that these oh so dedicated folks, have to labor for months to beg bucks. There is not a site user here who can observe this without drawing an obvious conclusion.
A tiny cadre of dedicated supportive members are having to work for months to garner sufficient money to carry the load for a vast number of users who are quite casual about their obligations.
I saw a contribution of $6.90 mailed in. No doubt that contributor counted pennies from their income and did the best they could do.
A subscription service seem obvious, but, the need for FR is beyond an accounting of cost!
The need is as important as Paul Revere's ride and the North Church light. It aint by sea folks, it's by our land!
Let us make fundraising threads brief, let us join the ranks of the monthly supporters.
If that's not possible for you due to fluctuating income, then make a yearly obigation. hell it's no worse than and annual property tax or income tax bill. You just gotta figure out a way to make it happen.
Make it so!

Hi moose! Took a long time for me to wake up this morning, as the turkey from yesterday still had me comatose! Hope the day finds you well, prosperous and free.
I was so happy that we were able to complete the FReepathon before Jim had his Thanksgiving dinner. A lot of dedicated FReepers make this happen every quarter. Now if we can just get the "un-committed" to pitch in, we can make the quarterly fund-raisers a thing of the past.
Woo Hoo. Free Republic rocks!
