Also I do not want to see a bunch of bullshit threads and comments in threads if it is a mandatory pay site that say " I DO NOT PAY FOR THIS CRAP OR PAY TO SEE THIS KIND OF CRAP." I say do a seperate page of ad's and links to the companies we already use links for like Amazon and NR etc.., have that cover some costs and fundraising drives every 4 months/1 week out of that 4th month. That way you will cover the entire year in 3 quarters...4th month,8th, and 12th. Everyone has money coming to them in April,the summer is around the 8th and people have extra dough for vacations, and the 12th month you have Christmas. What better gift to yourself than to pay for FR?
I plan on giving my gift right around Christmas. A 2yr old and a morgatge must come first, but my visa is on standby for a nice healthy donation to ring in 2002.
Well you can be as small and impotent as you wish but please refrain from bothering me any further. I find it distracting.
Precisely.
What kind of person keeps two browsers open day in and day out, so they can use one to watch THIS site and the other one to COPY AND PASTE what people over here say???????
We're talking MAJOR losers. Hell, they damn near had a riot over there; they can't even get along with themselves........ROFLMAO.
no points, it was a fumble. We GAVE them money, what they do with it is their business.
If people only knew how much work goes into this forum and how many people work their hearts out. Then, there are others who just want a free ride.
Jim, I agree with the statement above. Make people just a little uncomfortable (like you are all the time!) and see how many would dig into their pockets to turn the lights back on!
People, I've been told that just a small fraction of FReepers even bother to contribute to FR. If what I was told is true, let's change the dismal percentages. JimRob deserves it for all he does to keep this site operating.
DIG DEEP AND THEN DIG DEEPER!
All that aside, I'm so sorry you feel like I'm being mean to you because I said you're cheap because you don't want to help with the upkeep of FR.
If we do go to subscription, I hope we get to blackball one person.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the great conversations we've had on the threads!
Even though we rarely agreed, you were always kind and polite to me and gave me a chance to get a word or two in.
Hugs!

I second that one!
How good can a pamphlet be when it's free?
Sometimes, pretty damn good.
The poor are always with us---HAVE MERCY!
JimRob, frankly there is no other internet site even close to the FR forum, and as liberals conduct their endless battle against free speech, free press, and literally freedom of assembly, There are no substitutes.
This is the only forum where news is reported honestly, not spun, and not really controlled by an organization with any specific agenda. Yes we have flame wars, Yes, we have disruptors, but so does any discussion board on the 'net. This is one of the few that keeps the BS to a minimum.
Jim Rob, FR is now more important than ever! We may be entering an era of repression and censorship such as America has never known, under the guise of "security". For the sake of the Constitution, for the sake of this Republic, we must keep this avenue of discussion and debate open. Whatever it takes, I say go for it. To quote the immortal words of the passengers of flight 93: "LETS ROLL". Follow the words of our President when he elequently stated "You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists". Nuff said by me...Lock and Load, I'm with you 100%
Keep the Faith for Freedom
MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT THIS HONORABLE REPUBLIC (AND FREE REPUBLIC AS WELL!!)

Bothering you? I'm FREE to bother you as long as this place IS free.
