Done

I mailed an additional check this morning.

I love FR and don’t want to lose it.

done, noplace better than fr in these cray-cray times

My tagline says it.

this was in addition to your tagline.

But you’re right.🇺🇸

There is a thread in breaking news with almost 300 replies about how donations have slipped. And there are ideas there on how to raise money for Free Republic.

I hope the Robinsons read those responses and perhaps get some ideas on how to keep this site running.

Chris, I’ve been a dollar-a-day donor for a long time and it doesn’t reflect so on the donors list anymore, could you please fix it, thanks.

I don’t think I have seen any responses from the site owner and those running the site, about comments others have made in that thread, or what their plans are for the site.

I would suggest that, if they feel they could use some help to run the site, that they

create a 5 member board of directors, with 2 year/terms of service, with 2 starting with only 1 year, and 3 at 2 year terms so they overlap.

A two tiered set of moderators, a lower general one with powers to edit and censor comments, move threads from catagory to catagory, etc.

And a senior level tier council which have the power to review incidents, and vote to temp/permanent ban people

Define/redefine how the moderaton works - I have had threads with articles from mainstream sites posted under news, get moved to the chat or blogging catagory without explaination.

Also for day long or perceived important events, like Trump rallies, etc, I’ve tried to get them listed under breaking news, only to get the breaking news status removed.

So clearing some of these things up may also help

I was the one who created that thread. I honestly didn't know what kind of responses it would get but I saw a lot of good ideas shared and I'm glad folks responded as they did.

But like you said, I don't think any of the folks running FR responded at all. That's a shame, but then again, I know those folks have their lives to live out, and maybe FR isn't as important to them as it was to JimRob.

So I agree, perhaps some managerial changes need to be made so that the website gets the attention it needs to survive. Let's face it, there's only 3.5 days left in the current donation period and I honestly don't think they'll make their goal this time. I hope I'm wrong, cuz if I'm not then the trolls will have succeeded in destroying another website that was once dedicated to conservative and religious ideology.

It'll be interesting to see what happens after June 30th.
