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.
TOPICS: Announcements; Free Republic; Politics/Elections

It's official. We're on the map! This calls for a pajama party. Some may want to credit Buckhead, but please keep in mind that since I signed up this year, this site has really taken off. Let's face facts here. LOL. ;)
I know FR is listed as the 6th political website, but something tells me things are about to change.

I love this site! Nothing like troll hunting on a slow saturday. Shouldn't there be awards for freepers who catch trolls? After all it is a skill that takes patience and the right amount of patience. Usually the blinding light of truth found on FreeRepublic is enought to stune a troll temporarily while his beeber goes off.
To: nwrep
Nobody goes there any more, it's too crowded!
