How to tell if you've been FReeping too long
If some, many or all of the following apply to you, you probably have been FReeping too long.
- You remember when you had to know basic HTML in order to form a decent post.
- You remember when the entire thread had to be 86d in order to remove a single post.
- You remember when if someone forgot to close their italics, bold tags, the entire thread after that point was in bold or italics.
- You remember when if a disruptor made a mess of things during the wee hours of the night, wed all have to wait until morning (Pacific Standard Time) for Jimrob to arise to take care of the problem.
- You remember when at times it got so bad during the wee hours of the night, some would implore those who had JimRobs number to wake him up take care of the problem.
- You remember JimRob waking up in the wee hours of the night to take care of the problem.
- You remember (and in a strange way kind of miss) Michael Rivero.
- You remember (but dont miss) Toilet Man.
- You cant count how many FReepers you knew and/or interacted with that have passed away.
- Youre affectionately considered an old timer by others, though youre not sure how much you enjoy that designation.
- You consider anyone who joined after the last millennium a N00b.
- You remember when Lazamataz was a N00b.
- You still consider Laz a N00b.
- Youve long ago realized that others dont read your posts and if they do, they probably dont care what you think.
- You find it quaint when newer posters think others read their posts or care what they think.
- You wonder how youve gotten on all of these ping lists.
- You no longer bother asking others to take you off their ping lists and just let them go ahead and have their way with your inbox.
- You're wondering how you got on the ping list to this thread.
- Lots of FReepers have become personal friends and acquaintances.
- Lots of personal friends and acquaintances have become FReepers.
- Lots of personal friends and acquaintances have become ex-FReepers.
- Having so many personal friends and acquaintances on FR cramps your style.
- Despite having an anonymous screenname, because of you're friends and acquaintances, youve long ago given up any fanciful notion of anonymity.
- You cant count how many times youve been furious with, then have subsequently forgiven JimRob.
- JimRob cant count how many times hes been furious with, then has subsequently has forgiven you.
- The aggregate time of the various vacations youve taken from FR (self-imposed or otherwise), total a longer period of time most posters time as members.
- You imagine all the kool stuff you could buy if you had all the money you've donated to FR in one lump sum.
- You imagine all the kool stuff you could buy if you had all the money you've spent on lodging and travel attending FR events (cruises, FReeps, gatherings etc.).
- Youve actually bought a lot of kool stuff with the money you made (directly or indirectly) due in some way to your interactions on FR.
- If Obama were to use FR to compile an enemies list, your longevity alone would cause your screenname to feature prominently.

I found FR on the Conservative Links Page in 1997, the black screen days. I do miss Michael Rivero, he was a nut but interesting. Don Morgan had a web page after he went missing read it a few times I think a search is necessary. Michael Rivero comments on air crashes were the highlights of many of my freeping days. Just wonder what he'd have to say about Air France 447.

Michael Rivero comments on air crashes were the highlights of many of my freeping days. Never mind that he had zero understanding of aircraft.

I remember a posting on flight 800 showing the center wing tank blown in. Now, in my youth, I blew a lot of things up and the force always radiated out on an outward direction, less resistance, kind of circular. It was fun times though.

Rivero felt t that the fact that he could get people on FR to believe his conspiracies gave creedance to the theories. I got tired of try to counter him, so I started a couple of spoof threads based on actual crashes and used the same words and tactics that he did

I thought that Rivero was an entertaining nut, and I used to bait him myself, the center fuel tank thing bothered me, because of my youthful experiences and still does.

She wanted her own forum. She got it. For her, FR, was a springboard. And from that her son Jonah ....

You remember when if someone forgot to close their italics, bold tags, the entire thread after that point was in bold or italicsThat one caused lots of trouble.
