In response to troll activity, 23 years ago Jim Thompson decided to register the FReepers. This is what it looked like.

I always wonder what percentage of freepers from those days are still active.

A LOT of posters used their emails as their nick.

Thanks for the time travel stroll!

I would have registered a year or two earlier
but at that time my hotmail address was not
acceptable. I didn't register until I was hired
at a new job and could use the new company's
email.

“Ash”. A masterful troll. How many flame wars did he instigate?

Man a long, long, long time ago.

It says my email is already in the database. Do I need to do anything else?

Just need to add “I agree not to spam FR with my own blog more than ____ times per week.”

And maybe “I agree to NEVER post any thread from Gateway Pundit (or any blog for that matter) that begins with ‘BOOM.’”

I’d hate to have some of the things I’ve written on here come back up in the Wayback archives. I was a young teenage kid when I first got on here in 1998 and I definitely acted the part at times.

That’s fine, but can you post the first freepathon thread?
