This freepathon donation result is pathetic. You wanna give your two cents but don't wanna contribute because somebody hurt your widdle feelings? That's pathetic and juvenile. I wouldn't mind going to a paid service and get rid of some of the dead weight around here. I'm living on SS. So, I'm barely making it (Thanks Biden!). But I still budget for FR.
Pull at your discretion
bttt
Wonderful!
:-)
BTTT!!!
A monthly donation would be nice, folks.
Perhaps the value has diminished because all we do is tear people down.
Snarkiness over substance. We don’t leverage the talent and skills people bring to the table.
We don’t bring in younger fresh blood; so it eventually dies off.
And we don’t really do anything. We don’t FReep anymore, so there is no common mission or task to work towards.
Yes. We need to support FR because Corporate Social Media could be completely closed to any sort of conservative in the future.
It may be more likely if Trump wins, because then they use the power they have in the institutions they control against us as an act of revenge.
I just made a contribution, and at first it didn’t work.
The CC was rejected, apparently because I only put my actual billing address, a PO Box.
When I put my street address in front of the PO Box on the *single* line of the form, it worked.
I wonder if little things like this could be reducing donations.
good for you! :)
Yet you post but don’t contribute. It’s easier to point blame over doing something constructive. I see it everyday.
that’s a heck of a sales pitch (s/off)
TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) are still available. But how much longer?
(s/off)??? I’ll have to brush up on my salesmanship presentation. Maybe use some pie charts. Have a celebrity endorsement. Make a list of non-contributors and call them out. Whoops, I didn’t see your name. Have an animated gif with puppies or kittens. Just what would YOU suggest? I’m open to suggestions for self improvement.
That’s the risk.
There is Truth Social as well, but just signing up for that puts a target on your back.
FR too, I guess, but it is small enough now compared to the giant platforms like Twitter that we MAY be ignored.
I’m just offering reasons.
How about giving posting rights only to those who contribute?
That’s what a paid subscription service is. Which is what this website will become if the voluntary fees don’t come in. That or JimRob may just shut it down permanently. This is not the year to let this website shutdown. believe me.
funny...
one can donate as anonymous...so you may or may not see me.
I give a hundo about every quarter or so;
thru paypal;
FR then continues to give me a free FR forwarding email address...
I use it so the PITAs don’t get one of my real email addys.
keep pluggin away...some pitch might eventually work.
Thanks for the encouragement.
