Yes, eventually (see post 11). But it will morph before that.
Economies, philosophies, and governments all change, and one day, FR may very well be mainstream. I know a lot of hispanic-origin Americans who are every bit as conservative as many here. This reminds me of my response to a loving mother who’s children were in abject rebellion. Just be yourself and eventually they will come around. FR should keep being FR, yet never fear innovation or changes needed to cope with chaos all around it. How many of us follow FR on twitter?
I must be one of those civil old timers Russ mentioned earlier. Still have my original screen name, and have never been banned in the 16+ years I've been here.
I'm with you on that one...
I love the format; it’s the most user-friendly I’ve found. If I had to pick one feature above all, it would be the red text which instantly alerts you to posts as they come in.
I agree, I often pass on FR links to other people.
Heh...I got banned during the Eschoir episode. Came back 8 months later. I wish I had my 1998 handle back.
I’m thinking you will be gone long before FR is. And I mean that only in a good way. :-)
Do you mean Free Republic is still here? I logged out earlier after reading the original post, full of gloom and doom, resigned to the Freepocalypse.
Please wear breathing apparatus in this area, a Kudzu propagating compund has been sprayed around.
I remember him. He was a glutton for punishment.
Yep, that'd be our boy. And after he got spanked he started another thread pretending to be his own daughter, asking everyone to be nice to "her" Dad. The response was volcanic. I don't think a lot of those posts would make it past the Mods today.
I thought we were already floating in the luminiferous aether.
*eyes drink suspiciously*
This isn’t my drink!
Reminds me of the obviously unhinged troll that showed up and got the zot, next day another troll showed up and claimed it was “her” mom.
Soooo.. Both threads got pulled.
I figured it was the same clown.
I miss A+Bert. And Old Atlanta. Not so much the dreaded Navigator, lol.
Long Live the Free Republic
Alert!!!
I miss the great photoshopping that used to be on here. My favorite was Osama bin Laden porking John Kerry posted during the 2004 election.
Since then they changed the format or something and me not being a computer geek had to drop my Dems are Done name. I do feel just as positive of a Republican run in 2004 as I do now in the 2014 run.
I’m sure that Obama’s DOJ will do whatever they can to make sure that opposition is free to express their views free of government interference.

I guess trolls are like flak. We wouldn't attract 'em if we weren't making a difference.
I believe any decrease in activity is due to south more access via mobile devices and the inherent difficulty of posting from one.
