I think FR became an official site in 1997, so you were here about five years before it got up and going.
Ooops. Blame it on my youth. I’ll be 76 soon, so I had a senior moment. Looking back, I guess at that time it was Drudge who was kooler than whitewall tires. In the early days of Drudge, he really did kick butt. His site is no longer on the cutting edge. I can’t remember the last time Drudge had a scoop on anything, or when I even stopped and looked at his stuff. Thank God for FR.
There was an earlier version of a board about Whitewater that FR evolved into if I remember correctly.
I wasn’t around then but I have an aunt that was and joined FR fairly early. I just lurked occasionally in 98-99.
