I was having an argument with another FReeper about how many of the old timers were still around. I tell people there is a FReeper vsyndrome and that most of them are still around, they just don't post much anymore.

Here is your chance to put these rumours to rest. Chime in and let everyone know you still are alive and kicking. Post your registration number if you know it.

Don't know the number,

I was lurking before Monica & Bill & Drudge became a big thing, and started posting around that time. I dropped out of sight after Clinton was not convicted..forgot my original user name/password and lurked but became reincarnated in November 2000. still rolling along....

November 2, 1998. I'm not sure where to find my number.

Time sure flies when you're having fun.

Sounds like we all signed up to get in on the MFJ.

Reporting in. I lurk much more than I post, and sometimes, I "take a break" from freeping. A few weeks maybe. Sometimes I post like crazy (10 posts a day), sometimes I post maybe 2 times per week.

Thanks for the tip! Looks like I'm # 13478.

[Jean S]

Wow, thanks, I appreciate that. I've been really lazy about posting lately. Things have changed, most of what I attempt to post is already posted these days.
Best to you too.

Still here since 10-10-98, can't find member number, but it was 12,xxx something.

Lurked before that date for a while before coming over from old Prodigy Whitewater board.

Haven;t been commenting for a time due to surgeries and computer woes,but all fixed up now,I.E new hip,new computer,four fused vertabrae.

Old sailors never die,we just get laid up for refit every now and then.

One other thing: I recall that I was lurking on FreeRepublic when the Clinton White House text pager logs were intercepted by hackers and posted on the web.

I don't know what year that was.

Oh, and let me remember a couple of old-timers who left us - RJayneJ and Chief Negotiator. RIP from a grateful friend.

Farewell to bcjohnson

Hi, March 1998 was our sign up date although we'd lurked for a while before that.

We actually met you at the very first Freeper get-together in Fresno - at the park (I think it was on the 4th of July). CAL, JimRob, Dale Reed, BadJoe, Willa, I'm not sure who else was there. We still check in at FR frequently although don't do much posting.

I forget my number. I just wish I had registered when I started lurking. A lot of the old timers have gone. The 2000 election influx changed FR substantially.

I joined at the height of Monica Crisis II.

Number 8458, Sir!

I'm surprised so many old-timers are left. Seems like I've read 10,000 opuses the last six years.

[kevkrom]

Nov '98 here... but I'm pretty sure I had to re-register atthat time.

[Nov3]

Oh yes the date was 10/21/98
