Thanks for the kind words and your change re donations!
I have been on the financial board of my church longer than some of the posters on this board. While once a year, twice a year and quarterly donations are great, the monthly donations/pledges enable us to budget for the coming year and to meet our monthly bills (the US runs on a monthly basis re bills/salaries ect.) While we would never turn down a $6,000 yearly donation at our church, we feel more comfortable with 10 people donating $50/month! If something bad happens to the 6k donor, the organization is really hurt. If one or two of the $50/month donors drop out, you can work around it!
Thanks for all that you do for those of us on the Free Republic Life Form!
Are you sure?
I've heard from a most reliable source that Mojo never stopped posting here.
Whew! You had me going there for a while, Jim! I woke up yesterday morning thinking it might go away. Must have been dreaming about it, as usually what I think about first is what I've been dreaming. It would have been a real nightmare to lose FR!
Maybe something like this:
Free Republic 4th Quarter Fundraising Target: $80,000 | Pledges to-date: $30,915 | |||

$50 just in from Alaska! $100 from Texas! Thank you FReepers!! |
I lurked for the election year and finally signed on. This is the outstanding conservative news forum on the 'Net.
Yesterday's thread conjured up an image for me of what would have happened if the train car of bandits in "High Noon" would have arrived when Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly were off on their honeymoon and those guys tried to shoot up the town. If those were the best arguments why I should not participate in FR, I'm not convinced.
At a later time, it could link to some type of general ledger showing the flow of funds.
Willa asked this question a month ago or so. If we could have the thread stay at the top, we would only need one thread. If it scrolls out of BN, then we would need multiple threads. I was thinking that something like, 'how long will this thread be' contest might be fun if we had one thread. I like the prototype you posted. Would the bar graph be constantly displayed on every article, or would it only be on lastest posts? Could you make it a clickable bar-link to the main thread? Also, would you be able to have something like this permanently on FR?
Thanks, WIMom
I am ever so glad that this has blown over for now. Now that you have flushed out the AFs, I know just who to avoid when posting on FR.
My contribution will be there shortly.
God Bless and good luck with the litigation.
Could you put the secure server link up there 24/7, too?
Some people mentioned that they couldn't find a place to donate except when someone posted the link in the middle of a thread.
Whatever Jim wants.
Could you make it a clickable bar-link to the main thread?
I could certainly make something a link to the main thread. Depending on how the gauge is eventually implemented, there would be as many links as necessary.
Also, would you be able to have something like this permanently on FR?
That would be up to Jim. Sounds like a great idea though.
Sir?
For Heaven's sake; none of those banned people ever stopped posting here.
None, nada, nyet; ever.
Why (in the world) anyone would think the mere desire of the website owner's banishment from his website carried any weight with these select members, who're proportedly ultra-proponents of Law & Order, Private Property Rights yadayadayada?
Well, I'll never understand.
That crowd had all they could do to curb the acerbic behaviors (that got 'em booted from here to begin with) just enough while they masqueraded about so they'd not feel the toe of the boot, yet again.
...oh the irony of it all.
