That FR is mostly just text with no ads means it is always easy to load and surf... unless there is a DDOS attack or server failure.

It does seem to be taking longer and longer for the pledge drives to complete.

Maybe if the owners published the stats in graphical form such as number of articles, comments, viewers over time we can see what the trend is.

One indication is that prepper threads saw up to 10,000+ posts, while today even 100 would be exceptional.

2. Thread #2, 2009 - over 10k posts -
3. Thread #3, 2009 - over 10k posts -

   Then there were

The decline of Christian faith and rise of social media and many blogs and the median age increase. Thank God for what is good.

I’m a newbie. Only been here since 2005. But I can tell you this - FReepathons have always last between 85 and 90 days. And then they reach their goal. Only to begin again in 2-3 days.

In other words Freepathons basically run 365 days per year.
