Can you show me where this site is looking for funding through donations? I don't mean a red status bar at the top of the Forum page. If anything, that is an enbarrassment to Free Republic chronicling it's failure to thrive financially.
Jim Robinson used to post almost daily In Breaking News an appeal for donations. If you look way way down in the Breaking News section here you might see Chris making such a plea. From over a month ago.
What does that tell you?
I tell me lots, as I suspect it does you.
Last quarter there were appeals. As of almost two months into this next quarter, the tally seems to be at 26%, the remainder and appeals for the remainder being in a next, single month.
You're an "old timer" compared to my enrollment, and I to some who enrolled only in the last months. My About is different than your About, but they tell something of us. So many voices seem darn near anonymous and neither location nor any statement of views are available.
I'd venture the guess that FR wither slowly. What think you?
