Wow...I was 8 years old when FR was founded!
BTW though, I thought I read somewhere on the home page or a link from the home page that FR was founded on September 6, 1996

oh yeah—sorry I’m not trying to take up space here since I’m a newbie, I was just wondering when exactly FR did start, since it says 96 on the home page but there don’t seem to be any members with registration dates beyond 97.

Jim had a forum on the old Prodigy politics board but they kept censoring them so he started his own BB with a few people who came over with him. It stayed small for a while but eventually Drudge linked his “Whitewater Files” and it started to build.
It attracted lib trolls who at first were okay but then got nasty. Before registration we used to post with full names and eddresses. Jim instituted registration to get a handle on the trolls and give us an opportunity to change to lower exposure screen names.
