Origins of Free Republic
Self

Posted on 01/31/2007 7:17:49 PM PST by festus

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.

I began lurking in 1998 during the Monica stuff. Finally registered to post in March 2000. I guess thats a fairly long lurking career.

I will never, ever forget the day that Laz -- and I cannot remember WHY he did this, but it had something to do with people spamming a lot of threads with volumous wordy posts -- anyway, he posted an entire Shakespeare thread in ONE post. It was just hilarious!

Yep. His death was a shocker. He was another poster, I thought it wise not to engage, but I lurked!

I found FR from a tip at a rally for GW in 2000. I was so happy to find this place. Kind of like finding "home". lol FR saved my sanity thru the craziness of the election. Been here ever since and have brought some others-my most recent a woman at work who says her hubby has it as the 1st place he goes on the net!

I knew it started with an "a" -- I just had to think for a while.

Someone mentioned he had gone into missions. I also believe he finally found that "special lady" a while back, and that may have resulted in a re-prioritization of his time... /grin

I love the sign in page to the 1996 forum version, especially where it says:

Yes, I know, but the ghost of Sabertooth at least remains, and we have occasional seances.

Oh, I do that! Some names I just have a real problem with. And here I thought it was just me.

It's not your fault. "They" just keeping making the print smaller.... at least according to my mother. :-)

And as much as we argued with him; I still remember the day we found out he died. So sad.

Those kind of people are the ones where you say, "Well, he's a jerk, but he's OUR jerk." :-)
