What's it like to be a freeper with a 100,000+ sign on number?

All you newbies whose screen number is over 100,000 (plus infinity, or minus a couple thousand), this thread is for you. What's it like to be 'new' here? Are you welcomed? What do you think of FR? Do you feel 'part of the gang'? This thread is for you. Lay it on us.

I've heard about this place a long time ago, but didn't actually visit it until a few days ago. I guess I figured that "Free Republic" was perhaps something like the rag "New Republic". Anyway, glad to see that this is a place where conservatives can gather and exchange news and opinions. I may be new here, but I'll not be scarce now that I am here.

hahaha! Yes, but we can't KNOW them: They're secret...shhhh...so is the club.

We used to have a number, I don't see it anymore. Anyone, can that number still be accessed? It was like a sign up date, but a unique number assigned to each person. IIRC, I was 50,000+ something.

those "mini-groups" are actually all one person...there aren't more then 50-60 actual people on FR...

1. Well I don't see a number.
2. I feel welcomed.
3. I have had Freeper's that are not Conservatives that have attacked me in the Liberal way and I burned them alive. Which was lots of fun.
4. Been in on 2 troll hunts.
5. Posted an article I wrote.
6. It was nice to hear how much Freepers liked it.
7. Seem to have been added to a couple of ping lists.
8. Freepers are sending me information about my posting that has expanded my knowledge, which is real cool.

Well it used to be easier to find it...all you had to do was go to your profile page and it was in the url.

Now you have to click on In Forum link on your profile.

You are #28024.

I was here when FR had only 7K members. Gimme a Silver Star:):) And I'm not asking for an "early out"!

[areafiftyone]

You are member #50279, but who's counting?

[canalabamian]

Dang! I thought I would be at least 100k. Does #77552 qualify me as a FNG? Where did you find it?

[tet68]

I was a registered democrat but then I found FR and my
entire life changed.

So there.

[bannie]

Ok, cultural...how'd you do that?

I really don't know what my number is and I don't care what anybody else's is. OkaY?

[Indy Pendance]

I've been here since 1998, and I avoid groups. Just post what you want to who you want. Don't worry about the cliques, they're irrevalant. Stick to news. You'll be fine and make tons of friends.
