I've been here a year or two.
The demands of the fundraisers have gone up and up.
While I have no dispute of Jim's numbers as up front, they have gone governmental.
Look closely at the budget. Decide for yourself.
That is a great idea!
But don't try and stir up crap with innuendos, I don't give a happy crap how long you've been here!
Say what you mean and mean what you say or STFU.
I like turtles.
A moose once bit my sister.
That is hugh and series around here.
Thanks at least for not posting a thousand word parting opus.
Gumbye.
You know how things are run here.
No one is asking you to give what you cannot afford.
I contribute a small amount every month via credit card. It could not be simpler.
If everyone did that that posts and lurks here, Jim would not have to worry about Freep a thons at all. There would be a stable base of steady income, without billing.
There are 100,000 people a month that use Freerepublic. If
everyone gave $ 5.00/month, the yearly cost would be paid in one month.
Truth is, not a large percentage of those here pay for the privilege. Everyone needs to do something.
BTW, if you are going to go out after 13 years, you could have put a little more thought into your opus instead of embarrassing the rest of us Class of ‘98-ers.
////its mine and this is how it is....period?/////
excuse me.....it refers to a mind set....not a direct quote.....
“....a whole bunch of small monthly donors is just as good as a few big endowments.”
That’s what I think too - but my wife’s not buying it.
“I like turtles.”
Me too. And toast with honey on it.
As another member of the Class of 1998 (lurked in 1997), I agree with everything you said. It’s a voluntary contribution, and given Jim’s medical issues coupled with the costs to run this site, I don’t begrudge him a dime. God bless him and this site. Not happy with it, don’t contribute. But why stop coming to the site for the articles?
Private website.
Buzz off!
Exactly, it my only source for national and political news.
That was disgusting.
In protest, I’m leaving this thread that I’ve been on for fully five minutes.
'Lousiest Goodbye Opus' I've ever seen.
...............
Actually I’ve been LMAO reading the responses to your silly post. This is the medicine I’ve needed since that travshamockery we call “president” got “re-elected.” Thanks for the post.
And buh bye.
Never seen a Class of ‘98 wimp out like this. Nobody says you have to donate.
And if you haven’t been, well 14 years of freebies puts you well ahead of the Obamaphone woman.
Everybody’s had Paris.
Dang I can’t believe I was suckered into an old thread.
