WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR NEWS FROM IF FREEREPUBLIC WASN'T HERE? Thread 6

September 18, 2001 | FReepers and Lurkers who care about FreeRepublic

[WIMom]

It is not always easy or fun sitting at a computer for hours and hours monitoring these threads. Every 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

[BADJOE]

[Topaz]

[Gabz]

YES WE ARE!!!!!!!!

[WIMom]

Yes he does. I have been on threads, and listening to him at the same time. It's as if he is reading the exact thread I am reading!

Truly amazing! Do you credit this with the paging or WIMom's post or something else?

[WIMom]

AWESOME. Is that a record?

[Gabz]

You KNOW that WIMom's posts had MUCH MUCH to do with that number!!!!!!!

[BADJOE]

Yes I do credit WIMom and 2ndMCVBM and I believe D1 was also in on the nagging. Oooops I mean persuasion. : 0

[BADJOE]

I do believe it is a record. And we had no big single amounts in today. We really got the small contributors engaged today.

[kayak]

D1 wasn't out there nagging ...... he was chasing them down with a SHARK!!!!! ..... LOL!

[Topaz]

Lesson learned. We used to page a lot in the beginning but have been doing less of it until today.

I guess we'll just have to suck it up from here on out and page all 60,000 freepers to the freepathon. : )

[WIMom]

That is the best part! Is every one of us that makes a difference!

[Mo1]

FOFL ... What happen to BADJOE ... he get worn out or something

THANK YOU FREEPERS

[Topaz]

So you guys were going onto other threads and linking to the freepathon?
