With all the political and social media turmoil, there seems to have been about a half a dozen new start-ups to replace FAKEBOOK.

I don't know WHAT Trump's new site will be like, but if it s anything like parler, mewe and all the rest ... it's gonn'a fail.

THIS has been the vanguard of user friendly sites and I just wanted to say why I was thankful for FR.

The GREATEST feature of FR is the reply system;

I say something and forget all about it until a week later, someone comes home from vacation, sees my posts and replies to it;

"Not only THAT knarf, but the blue one too!"

"HUH?"

and all I have to do is click the reference number and I go to the post and the reply makes sense.

That does not happen in an other platform I know of.

Again, Thanks, Jim.

I remember flying to DC and meeting so many other FReepers at the Washington Monument. That was exciting.

My favorite site. My monthly donation is the least I can do.

[bicyclerepair]

Very broke here. I wish I had some money to donate.
How nice it would be to meet y’all, crack open a cold one and jibber jabber around a campfire for hours.

FR is among the first places I ever signed up for on the interwebs.

Thank you for the best news site ever.

[ifinnegan]

Me too.

FR had frames back then.

I registered on FR on 11-28-97, the same day as Jim Robinson. Been coming here virtually every day since then.

Thank you, Jim! You are a living saint.

So true!

So easy to use, an 85 year old great -grandma can do it!

Jim - Thanks for this great site. I really enjoy the lack of advertising/pop-ups/click bait/etc.

I just donated and anyone truly thankful for this web site should do the same.

Proud Y2K freeper.

I've been here since 1998 too. Best site on the internet! Most informative--and I mean truthfully informative! Most intelligent--in fact, brilliant--posters! Way out in front of whatever's second best!

Yes! Thank you, Jim!

[El Cid]

Ditto!
Thanks Jim and John - the Freerepublic is an oasis in a desert news information.

[Katya]

here since 1999... what a ride it’s been! Definite big ups and thanks to Jim and Son for making this possible.

Yer damn SKIPPY! Mega thanks to the Robinsons. Member since 2002.

Thanks to the Robinsons FREE REPUBLIC continues as the most user friendly conservative web site available to the public. The posted replies on a variety of threads are informative and interesting. Thank you Jim and those who help to make this site available for further insight and information on what is actually happening to our Republic. The Trump site people would do well to take a hard look at the set up of FR, especially user friendly and sign up.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Knarf, you joined 6 days after me . . . and I absolutely concur with your words. FR has been a happy home for conservatives and even a place where Christians were made to feel welcome.

I can’t believe my original screen name was Lestat (From the Anne Rice vampire series), but Jim graciously changed it to what it is today.

I know there are some that are trying to change the direction of the site, but as long as JR is in charge of the place it will stay on focus and on glide path.

Than you, knarf, for this great thread!
My husband, Freeper 1John, found this site in’98 and got me hooked on it— immediately.
It has been my “go to” site ever since, and in times of trial—like September 11, 2001, my husband’s sudden passing in 2002, the diastrous elections of 2008 and 2020, and many others—I can always find comfort and encouragement from the posts of fellow Freepers.
So, again, knarf, I thank you this thread, and thank God for giving Jim and John Robinson the wisdom and skill to keep this site going for nigh onto 24 years!
