Thank you, MNJohnnie!

It was weird. I intended to make a vanity post and congratulate myself but I totally let the date slip by and forgot all about it.

I joined the same day Jim Robinson did. (Ha)

There were at least 37 who joined that day and I often wonder if any but Jim and I are still around.

Of course, there was a Free Republic before that...I’m sure for at least a year, I would have to ask Jim ... it was called Whitewater at first and was started to investigate that nostalgic little scandal.

The growth here is, of course, incredible and it is now the Number 1 conservative forum on the net... if I am not mistaken.

That would be a great thread! "Free Republic-10 years later a retrospective". I would love to hear the stories.

Congratulations!

I lurked for around four months before getting ticked off about something and had to join to post. (Sure doesn’t seem as long as it’s been. LOL)

I’m one of the first on the Whitewater Board. Long time ago. So glad Jim started Free Republic. Have not been very active because of family situation. (husband very ill). This website has really taken off. Happy to see it.
