WOW...things have changed over the last 17 years, some good and some - not so good.
JimRob is still the spirit of the Forum and he clearly deserves all the due he so righteously receives - most of the time.
THANKS JimRob for all you've done over my 17 years on your well executed forum.
like me?
free republic has been a wonderful resource.
CompuServe here..cutting edge..
Actually, I discovered FR thru drudge as well..hooked on it since..long time lurker..didn't join until June 2001..I remember the move to let JimRob be the first person to post a comment when Clinton was officially impeached..don't remember if that happened..this is a great source for news and some damn funny commentary..also, really annoys me when lazy commentators compare FR with the hateful libs sites..I am proud to say when people like Ted Kennedy passed that almost to a person the posts were RIP..unlike libs sites that would say 'rot in hell' for a conservative..my two cents..
Happy anniversary Harpu! Seems like only yesterday that Dewey defeated Truman... ;-)
“Seems like only yesterday that Dewey defeated Truman”
TKO?
Or the whitewater compuserve forii...
Dittos.
Newbie! :=)
Talk about Jan 1998. But for me it was a flamin’ liberal friend that saw FR and told me about it. Actually met Jim in San Antonio a few years ago.
The structure of FR is perfect. People post and comment and its near all I read. While JR deserves credit for the creation of FR I want to thank all that do the posting too.
Thanks, Allen
“A whole lot of us came to FR from the Drudge Report in January, 1998...and we’re still here! “
Is that when it was? I’m one of them.
Yay.

Pre dates me by two years. What caused the mass migration?
Been here from the start.
Took me a year to register.
What a long strange trip its been.
Thanks Mr Robinson.
I have been here 15 years. :)
I’m a class of ‘98 guy myself...
16+ years for me...
I guess I’m not that “new freeper” I was on that first day.
Class of ‘98 bump.
I found FR when Foxnews closed its forum down.
I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now
