This would explain what we both have been puzzled about.
Can you make this happen? You are a skilled developer, I know you can.
I wish they would start donating to Freepathons for me.
I’ve wondered the same thing, Laz.
Which means we likely have our answer.
Many of my conservative friends became liberals due to family issues or retiring and living on government money/disability. A few became gay.
Excellent suggestions.
My friends and coworkers all get scam phone calls and messages daily.There are many well organized criminals trying to steal our information.
IMO, some “new old timer post are from Woke children who came upon their parent’s login info.
First of all, MYOB! You stick to your lane and everybody else can stick to theirs. This forum has been a staunch advocate for Constitutional principles and dare I say your comments appear authoritarian and fanciest. I hope this is not the case. As a long time member, I will continue to opine on my terms and I encourage other to do the same.
How about people die and nobody in their family reports it here. A family member or friend get on their puter or cellphone and just maybe they are leftist, or gay, or whatever.
They are triggered and decide it would be fun to take over for them.
As long as someone knows the password, they can get in here.
Some keep passwords at home in places.
Some of us have gotten rid of their cell phones due to declining eyesight that renders them incapable of using cell phones. I am one of those, so I nix that proposal. 🤣
Sleeper accounts to be used when needed I would guess.
People change over time. And, you can’t always judge the ‘politics’ of what an account used to seem like against some of the more controversial topics of today. One of them is the Ukraine and who falls down on what side of it.
The one big thing that would stand out for me is a former 2016-2020 Trump supporter being overly critical or unsupportive of Trump today.
I love FR, but the whole platform is stuck in the 1990s. The tech is dated and it shows.
A lot of FR veterans would not be willing to trust even this site with a phone number.
Americans must contend with three enemies...all within.
Democrat Party
RINOs
Judiciary
The judiciary is the left’s ace in the hole. Use of it failed when the attempts to jail DJT failed. Now they use it t thwart the will of the people.
At every turn there’s a judge appointed by one of our lousy presidents thereby becoming a landmine to stop the guy we elected to overhaul and drastically reduce the monstrous government.
No more Mr. Nice Guy! Confront those judges who willfully deny the people’s desire to drastically change the central socialist government.
Go on the offensive, Mr. President!
Thanks, Laz!
Back decades ago, when Free Republic was at its most popular (during the Clinton years) with thousands of people posting here, Democratic Underground members would create accounts. I think they had 100s of accounts made just to post their swill even though they knew they’d quickly get banned.
The leftists would come here, post leftist bile and try to stir up trouble. Moderators would “zot” them pretty fast, but then another would show up. It became a contest to see how fast their accounts could be banned. So, there are a lot of accounts from the late 90s and early 2000s that still belong to those people.
I think a few of the Democrat underground old-timers still have a list of those old accounts and occasionally use them just for fun. Think of blue-haired sixty year old women who never were married and now just have a house full of cats and empty wine boxes, which nothing much to do, and you’ll recognize who I’m talking about.
Worthy of consideration.
You just entered taboo territory Laz. You may have opened a can of worms.
I have been very cautiously mentioning it for a couple years now hoping the hints would produce transparency. The most popular years seem to be 1998 and 2003 accounts.
There are two possibilities. And neither are hacking... There are several of us watching this for awhile now.
How do I know? Because at least ONE current active member would have been hacked by accident which would have exposed the fact accounts were being hacked a long time ago.
