The ongoing controversy over the fake CBS documents and the prominent role played in shedding the light on this by Freerepublic.com has caused an unprecendented surge in new memberships on the website.
Thursday, September 16, 2004 should be remembered as a landmark day for this website. On that day, more new users signed up on Freerepublic.com than on any single day before.
Click here for a running tally of daily new signups that the website keeps.
The 390 users signed up on the website eclipsed sign-up spikes caused during other newsworthy events, such as the Florida recount during the 2000 election, and the events of September 11, 2001.
The name of the website has been publicized widely in many media outlets as the source of the first revelation that the CBS memos were forgeries.
According to web traffic tracking site Alexa, Freerepublic.com has shown a remarkable increase in traffic over the last few weeks, as shown below:
Note from founders of the website: Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. In our continuing fight for freedom, for America and our constitution and against totalitarianism, socialism, tyranny, terrorism, etc., Free Republic stands firmly on the side of right, i.e., the conservative side.

And without the trolls, I wonder how many? I could just about believe we're getting several hundred new trolls a day!

Explain the left axis of that chart. It appears that we are losing traffic, rather than gaining.
Numbers are inverted.

Considering how many ZOTs I've seen lately, a good number of recent sign ups have been trolls.

We should weed out those that have become enhanced lurkers (those who rarely post, if ever) and our beloved trolls... it should be like 100 new bona-fide freepers.

The left will use this as prove of the "vast right wing conspiracy", but they will have to also look at the fact that CBS's nightly news viewership has taken an even more extreme change in the downward direction.
