HELP!!! I need some info on the History of Free Republic!
Today | Mad Dawgg

Posted on 09/17/2004 12:37:17 AM PDT by Mad Dawgg

I am doing some research on the NEW MEDIA. There used to be a thread on here that had some history about how Free Republic started. But I can't for the life of me find it in the archives.

If any of you have links or knowledge on the subject I would surely appreciate if you would post them in this thread.

I have several friends and customers (I FReep in my place of business) who want more info on this site. Further, I also have been asked to give a talk to a local community group about the New Media so I need to get on the ball, and get it all ready in time for the talk.

Thank you all in advance!

Mad Dawgg A.K.A. Pajama Clad FReeper.

Aw gee, Mad, I didn't mean to direct that to you.... but to the newbies that happen to catch your thread.

Your $5 is very well appreciated! If only other the faithful chipped in $5/mo. FR would be flying even higher!

Was the link in #17 what you were looking for?

If you are serious go back to the White Water postings on Prodigy, they must be archived somewhere.

The original thread posted by Jim Robinson on 07/15/99, with 402 replies. You'll see a lot of FReeper screen names on this thread that you may not have ever heard of, unless you were a lurker of FReeper in 1999.

"Was the link in #17 what you were looking for?"

Yep that was it, in fact in one of the later fundraiser threads this item was reposted. I posted in that thread, that is why I knew it existed somewhere. I just didn't have any idea of what the title was. I used several variations on the History of Free Republic and only got Laz's parody which is priceless in itself.

First of all, you have to totally enjoy the day that a dawg would enjoy with all four feet up in the air with the air conditioner on the privates.

Make sure you include a diorama for extra credit.

I was just about to ask if he wanted us to have a FReepathon to collect egg cartons and toilet-paper rolls. Yer reading my mind.
