 9. Run-on, single-paragraph posts

 8. Pings to Jim Robinson with kiss ass complements

 7. Posting "hugh and series", "stuned beeber" or "Bush's fault"

 6. A post asking a noOb if they are sure they're logged in

 5. Passive-aggressive keyword epithet war

 4. Satire posts that fool you (the rest are hilarious)

 3. Viking Kitties (just kidding... love ya'... really...  who'd poke fun at you...  rah roh.)

 2. Vanities

You are not with me. As a rule, I detest people who detest the institutions of capitalism that have created every scrap of wealth they have ever touched. Ingraditude and injustice are no more attractive when you indulge them, than when some leftist whackjob spits on a Marine. The bankers you despise are your moral, intellectual, and economic superiors in every respect, and I'll take them over you every day and twice on Sundays.

I want the populist know-nothing Buchanan-spawned finance haters run out of my party on a rail.

If you search back into Freeper Lore far enough, Mr Noob (heh heh), you'll discover that it's a many years long salute to ......... a certain long lost Freeper. Lemme know when you find it.

So you will see, It is far from "relatively new" .....as far as me doing it anyway.

With that being said, I would suggest that the powers-that-be here on FR move the site layout / format into the 2010 and beyond era.

Just think how much easier it would be for you to simply stay on forums that meet your superior criteria for what an internet forum should look like.

Thousands of FReepers get along just fine here with the format at "bedrock-on-the-net"

why came here

A supposed pro-capitalist group that complains about “blog pimps” all the time.

I believe you are missing the difference between a blogger and a blog pimp. Blog pimps offer nothing to FR but links. Those links are often mislabeled or lead you to a blog with a comment that could be added to an existing FR thread. Blog Pimps often post an entire thread, with a link to their blog, which simply links you to another blog or an MSM news source. Blog Pimps don’t come back to FR and participate.

Being pro-capitalist doesn’t mean we have to like shady deals.

Even the addition of personal avatars would be most welcome.

And, and...next year I get to go into the SEVENTH GRADE!

I see you've found the pictures of all of my future ex-wives.

Please don't tell my current wife. She's the only one of the bunch I can actually stand to be around... ;-)

How could anyone ever tire of “hugh” and “series”? That just stunes my beeber.

I like the way FR is set up. It’s hands down, the easier forum to navigate that I’ve run across on the internet.

You know who’s being replied to, what post number it is, you can view the replies to a particular post, notification of replies and PM’s is obvious and clear cut.

Besides, if anyone changes the format, there goes FReeping on autopilot with too little sleep.

Hold on a sec...

I'm going to vote for false (Jefferson) and/or unverified (Stamp) quotes of dead people.
