Disenfranchised Freeper been here 6 years 4 months 3 million hours, 12 days and a leap year

My highly evolved gray matter | 12/31/04 | JoeSixPack1

I was once a loney freeper. A freeper without a "1", pleasently picking on user "Ash" daily, now I have a (one)"1". What did I win to become a 'one'?

Back in the days of Teddy Roosevelt, I signed on to FR. (May, 98.) Then somebody hit the wrong button and BOOFF! I was eliminated, disenfranchised, erased from memory. Gone, Capute!

Subsequently, posing as a lurker, I saw an old thread I had started from July, '98. I tried to post to it.

Nothing.

I tried again.

Nothing!

I emailed JimRob. He said my user ID was gone! Not banished, not erased, not booted,, just gone! The mystery is enough to make you cry! I was a "nothing". (Although after this post and with the kitties getting to me that could change)

So being the great and all mighty (JimRob), he gave me a new user ID, pretty much like the old one, except it had a "1".

Years went by. Then sign on dates became the thing to have. This is where I was disenfranchised. I had a 2000 user ID but signed on in '98. The earlier my sign-on date was i assumed the more intelligent I just had to be!

If that wasn't enough, down the road a new user signed on with my old user name and completely ruined my image!! On top of it all, that one old thread which had made me famous was deleted, so I have no proof

I'm doomed! I want a recount!!!! DUH! Call Jesse Jackson, Gloria Allred!! (Get me Ann Coulter's cell number!)

That was my twin brother from a previous marriage! :-)

I think the same thing happened to me. At least I still have my lurker monicker.

Sometimes it's a good strategy to lurk.

[snarks_when_bored]

You're crying out for help, man, and this thread is your intervention.

On the other hand, there's the spare six-pack on the bottom shelf of the fridge.

[Kevmo]

How do you know what the Freeper number is?

[MEG33]

Definitely worthy of Breaking News..

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I weep for you.

Here is a picture to cheer you up.

I think he has your user ID

I was once a loney [sic] freeper...

Is that a misspelling of lonely or looney? One character, either way . . .

[JoeSixPack1]

Hey, Whats a couple of vowels (I resemble that remark!) amongst pals discussing characters?

:-)

[jammer]

I remember you from 1998 Joe.

Thank you.
