WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM IF FREEREPUBLIC WASN'T HERE?

September 18, 2001 | FREEPERS

It is not always easy or fun sitting at a computer for hours and hours monitoring these threads. Everyone person here is a VOLUNTEER. As a matter of fact, we pay to do this. We spend days and weeks helping to keep FreeRepublic running.

Ask yourself these questions:

Where is the first place I go to get my news?
Am I getting any benefit from FreeRepublic?
Am I learning from FreeRepublic?

FreeRepublic is not free. It costs Jim Robinson tens of thousands of dollars to keep this forum running. There are over 60,000 registered users on FreeRepublic and only 1,000 help keep this forum running regularly. Those who do not have the ability to donate money could help by stopping by and giving a bump. Those who who do have the means and have not contributed, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You are a FReeploader.

We do not want to see this forum dead, therefore, we are asking that you help keep FreeRepublic running.

If everyone who registered donated one measly dollar a month, we would never have to have a fundraiser again.

Thank you Freepers.

[WIMom]

We will turn you into a regular fundraiser yet! Thanks for the donation and stick around for a while!

[WIMom]

Bow when you address me, sir, or off with your head! I will not tolerate underlings! Oh, never mind, you contributed!

[WIMom]

You are most welcome. It is people like you who make this place great!

It does feel really good, doesn't it? And like you say, it's true. Every time I see my credit card bill, I have a little smile to know FR is still there. Joining FR is one of the best things I have ever did in my life

gr posted, "how bout your “member since” bar is red if you’re a contributor, and says “contributing member since” ... hmmm?"

Great suggestion! I would change the color from red to Green being the old die hard capitalist that I am! Maybe if they have never donated, red or pink would be appropriate!

Your suggestion re "contributing member since ______" is great! It would mean a lot more to me instead of being here before the ice age!
