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.

Then there were the endless Bible passages that no one read, posted in full. And someone would answer with another endless passage, posted in full.

Is the picture file of freepers still available?

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 signed up upon getting here, lurked for about an evening and I thought "Damn, these are my kinda people!"

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... /grinThat is so awesome! I've been rootin' for him for years!

Do you remember the FR Air Force flying a banner plane over the Superbowl? The pic said ~ "Stop lying Bill Clinton." Does anyone have that pic?If I recall correct, I saw that picture on FOX News

It would be nice if you could check your personal 'in forum'...but beginning with the oldest post.
Maybe that's a feature we could ask for?

I'll second that motion--It would be quite useful to be able to sort posts by post# or date.

To: DCPatriot
"You mean you're an accessory to the dastardly deed? ;^): Not at all. In fact, I have never called for the banning of anyone, even though I have been wrongly blamed for that happening to a few.
I only push abuse when someone posts something that the people on the dark outer depths of the www can use against FR. Such as "this (or that) person should be killed." And usually they are posted by trolls.
So no, I wasn't an accessory to the "dastardly deed."
Which, btw, I don't see it as. I believe most decisions are made with considerations of the effectiveness of Free Republic in mind.

True. I am so grateful to that guy in Milwaukee who told me I would love this place. Sometimes, not so much, but still the place to find the real news. AND, my work does not have it blocked! Of course, I work for an incredibly employee friendly company.

I lurked a bit in the beginning and joined FreeRepublic in 1998 as Gomer512.
Changed name later to something more, well, dramatic! LOL
It has been a tremondous learning experience about politic and people. The triumphs and the failures.
