I think I found freerepublic by doing a search on conservative forums. I lurked for a month or two and registered my account on April 23, 1998. I do remember I actually found drudge AFTER I found freerepublic so drudge was never much of an attraction for me.

I found FR through an article at Billmyers.com. The title was, “50,000 hits a day with no advertising”.

This was in the early days of Web marketing, and this sounded incredible.

I have long since let my Billmyers subscription lapse, but I really found a home at FR. This place has been great!

And, yes, you do read the news here before you find it anywhere else!
