And never screwed up the website itself in that 30 years. I mean, I could probably log on with an Etch-A-Sketch. (I consider this a good thing). That’s remarkable

I came on here almost 2 years later. It’s been a blessing (and an addiction).

Happy Birthday Free Republic
20 years for me on September 23, 2026!
I have made some good friends here.
Unfortunately, several including NoPardons have passed away.

Arrived in 1998. Got in trouble while teaching school for mentioning Free Republic. The communists have been at work for a long time, but so few seem to care. I guess it is because they do not realize the consequences.

And never screwed up the website itself in that 30 years. A website that is still hanging on (barely) with its 30 year technology is by that definition - screwed up.
It works, but imagine how much better is could be.

Arrived in 1998. Me too. Drudge sent a lot of us here that January - his most important contribution to journalism, by far. :)

I found FR through Drudge too. Ancient history now.
To: JoeVortex
Just had an idea. What if a lot of us gave $30 today to the continuation of our beloved Free Republic.
Just went first.
