Having a temper tantrum like a two year old, does not make you a man. In fact it makes you look like a little boy.

Agreed. I’ve been here since 1998. I’d vote for the neighbor’s cat over Obama. He must be removed for the sake of the country.
To: Interesting Times
Yes, I know. I’ve looked into it. Like the hosting service we use. Thanks.

Your post can stay for posterity, but your second opus is also accepted.

FWIW, I’m good with the present format and funding mechanism. I simply send in to FRee Republic the money I used to send to Gannett for a dead-tree subscription to The (Monroe, LA) News Star. The cosmic rewards for that act far outweigh the monetary value.
Of course, any marginal hardware/software upgrades to the system should be done as time/money permits.

I guess one of the questions I would have about the advertising model is what sort of ads would be there. My first thought was of coming to FR and seeing Obama and Romney ads on every page, for example.
If this has already been addressed, sorry about that. I scanned down through the posts but didn’t have time to actually read every detail.

Bob J and BadJoe did some merchandising with our logo as a separate entity long ago when we first got started, but then gave it to another FReeper. We chose not to participate when they transferred ownership to the new owner, to avoid being involved in merchandising or commercial ventures on FR. We did run a banner for him on our front page for many years as a public service for those who wanted to purchase gear with our logo, but I don’t think he made much money on it and gave it up recently.

So I guess that means you are for the Ads rather than the donations?
To: Jim Robinson
Nothign to do with funding, and you might be sick of hearing it, but one thing that's always sounded 'right' somehow is a short lag between signup and posting rights.
Dunno, maybe it'd be too much of a PITA to implement, but seems like it'd keep the trolling pruned back a bit, especially around election time(s).

Anyone not willing to donate to FR and uses it daily and calls it home... is NOT a Conservative. Even a dollar a month would help. Next thing you know... they will demand government support.
