The Wall is one place to look, the vast expanses of the internet is another.

Where have all The FReepers gone?

Long time in passing.

Where have all the FReepers gone..

Lonnnng time a'passin'

Everybody comes and goes,

The World spins NO one knows,

Where have the FReepers gone,

Gone to Heaven. Everyone..

Except for those still mround..

Where have you gone?

[Califreak]

Where’s Mother Abigail? I don’t see anything since 2012

Gonna poke around a while in her threads for ebola info

[Califreak]

Funny.

Ebola is the last thing she posted about almost exactly two years ago

[blondee123]

Some of us are still here, more lurking than posting. Summer takes me away from the Internet a lot too.

[zeugma]

Interesting that you posted this today. I’ve been here for exactly 6000 days today.

[Windflier]

Freepers are the counter culture at this point.

I've been making that same point for over a decade, now.

Isn't it funny how all of the 'counter-culture' hippies of the 60s and 70s have now become the establishment now?

Even in Reagan's time, I realized that "the man" had changed sides.

[blondee123]

Geron. A familiar face, not too many here that I recognize anymore!

[blondee123]

Publius, another familiar face. Guess there’s a few of us still here.

[eyedigress]

The members in times past were stellar - I learned so much from wiser souls.

That is SO true.

I well recall being too intimidated to sign up because of the unbelievably stellar postings of the old time Freepers, circa 2003 (or so).

This place seemed like a conservative think tank to me, at the time. Now.....not so much :-(

[zeaal]

14 years and 6 months.
I mostly read now but make this my first stop when there is breaking news.
There were some fun days ...

[MNDude]

I suspected the Comedian was banned. kind of surprised about Johnny though. He was too much of a Bushbot if I recall though.

[Windflier]

15 years here...F/R is much more canucklehead friendly post Stephen Harper

We recognize our own!

[zeaal]

Forgot to mention I signed on while watching the Elian Gonzalez saga out of Florida. Someone (are you still here) was holding up a sign with www.freerepublic.com and I could not resist a visit.

[itsahoot]

Close those tags dammit.....

Italians Off!

[eyedigress]

They haven’t been allowed for years!

[GeronL]

Lots of newbs. lol

A lot of the old names are on the memorial wall now too.

When I think about how old I was when I first found this place, I feel old.

[Buffalo Head]

If you can’t remember “Don Morgan” and “A+Bert” you haven’t been here very long. Don quit for some reason and A+Bert was banned so many times it finally became permanent.

[MNDude]

How in the world did you get that data?

[Jemian]

Wow! That is amazing information.

I’ve been here so long I remember when most of the threads were started by either JohnHuang2 or Kattracks.
