Old School Memes from FReepers Past
Posted on 04/04/2024 8:11:10 AM PDT by RasterMaster
Before I even knew what a "meme" was, I remember discovering the most incredible ones and knowing exactly who crafted them. Since then, many of their names have escaped me in the span of time. As I reflect on over 20 years since joining FR, I'm reminded of members who are no longer with us (due to bans or departures) but whose art shaped much of our common history.
Calling all our long-standing members! Do any of you recall specific names or have memorable examples from our community's golden era, spanning from the late 1990s to 2010? Share your stories and treasures from the past!

In the old days, FReeper Registered was the resident meme-maker.
In 2005 during the Bush/Kerry Presidential election, Registered photoshopped separate pictures of John Kerry and Jane Fonda to put them on the same ant-war rally stage together, and he got sued. Kerry and Fonda were never together at a rally.
Registered wrote about it in this post, and eventually Opused out because of it.

I don’t know. Let’s ask him.
Laz, did you start the “not guilty” meme on FR?

The very first meme that I can recall seeing on FR - it was 1998, possibly even 1997 (I can remember which job I was working when I saw it)
