Just a guess....11/28/97

[jdm]

Why did you put 10-04-07 for the post date? Seems no one can type the date properly these days. HAL9000 did the 10th anniversary last year, IIRC.

[cripplecreek]

Sometime in 97 or 98 I believe.

My 4th FReeper birthday is December 21st. (gifts WILL be accepted)

Depends on whether your referring to this internet FR site or where it originally started back on the old online service, Prodigy.

When I showed up in 2003.

A search on whois.net shows a domain name registration date of Sept 23, 1996 though the site didn’t necessarily ‘go live’ on that date.

To heck with the birth date. Let the party begin! ;O)

All your birthday are belong to us!!

FR Anniversary Thread - NOV 28th 2007

I’m sort of new to FR. Well, not really. I’m just too doggone busy all the time with work at the hospital and family (married, 3 kids, ages 7, 5, 2) to get online every day.

That’s my excuse for not knowing the history of FR. So could someone please enlighten me. Please don’t forget all the important milestones. What exactly did Buckwheat do? I sort know, but not in great details.

I think sometime in October ‘97.

This is the earliest post I've found so far. It is from December 1969.

It would seem that using Jim Robinson’s “member since” date would be the best way to go.

I joined Free Republic just after first grade.

That would’ve been about 1959.

I joined up the first time in 1997, but I lost my login info. I think my screen name was MarneC5 or Marne, something like that (it was my call sign in the Army at the time). I signed back up much later...

It’s whenever when Algore says it is.

After all, he did invent the internet.

As we speak, I'm sipping my Community Brand New Orleans Hotel Blend coffee out of the cool Freeper mug I've cherished for years.

Front shows the American flag, a flying Freeper eagle, "Free Republic.com, Defending our Constitution" and "Coffee, Tea and Liberty".

The other side has my name personalized, and "Damn the Liberals! Full FReep Ahead!"

I LUV my mug!

I can't remember when and why we received these limited edition mugs. Maybe a special contribution to FR of some sort? Anyone know?

I treat the mug like a piece of Royal Doulton.

Ah, precious freeper memories.
