I don't know, JimRob created the FR FB page, it's up to him.
I hope he does. It’s important to keep the line of communication open.
I created the FB/FR site
This was around time of the backlash from the Romney election n the strong attacks against Mormons
Created another FB/FR site for current n former Freepers People wanted to connect but got fatigued by regular attacks n infighting here
Both sites private
Later turned it over to Jim n dropped my name as moderator of FR on FB. I remained at site The alternate site still go but not really active as the original FR/FB
I believe Jim eventually turned over actual administration n moderation to others he trusted as he was busy enough with family matters and running FR
Someone else started it, and then wouldn’t let Jim sign up.
He was finally given control of it and it became Free Republic Official.
IIRC
