Origins of Free Republic

So how far back does the Free Republic archive articles and how can I go back and find some of the first threads that started the whole thing off ?
It struck me I've hung out for a while and it was well established when I joined.
Be fun to see what we were focused on day one. For me anyway.

Ahh....the good ol' days when you didn't dare post anything until you had "time" under your belt. No one dared signup and post on the same day.

I haven't had a problem.I know...not everyone had the experience of erratic sign ons in the early days. From what others have told me, it really was a hit-or-miss thing.

I came in July of 1998 under another nick because I was working for another "chat room" that wouldn't let me use Howlin over there and over here, too.Uh-huh...right, newbie! ;^)

We had an online fundraiser to get enough to pay the pilot for the flight over the Superbowl...he may also have been run off because of restricted airspace. Anyways...the pic was posted here! HAR HAR.

Yep and they had a section wherein it was possible to keep one's own "stable" --- I would keep track of certain horses and when DelMar opened, I'd go bet on them. I had fantastic re$ultS. I was very happy and pleased with myself.

Back in the mid seventeenth century there was a man named Jim Robinson. He was sick of the liberal media. He had himself a smoky fire, a blanket, a group of Indian friends and a dream.
The rest is history.
The very first threads were transcribed from smoke signal onto buffalo hide with a burnt stick. You have to go to the Smithsonian to see them.
