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.

Long, but well-researched and with a wealth of links. We freepmailed back and forth occasionally, but I never knew she had her own site... did she?

You cry when you add up all the time, money and effort put into FR then wake up to see Obama in the White House.
All our efforts were and are being directed at the wrong targets. Until conservatives realize who the real enemy is we will continue to push that boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down on us.
Jim should change the name to Sisyphean Republic.

I remember all of this stuff. My membership even preceeds the date electronically noted; at one point we all had to re-login.
That was....1996 or 97, maybe...?
I remember when the DrudgeReport was getting about 20,000 hits per day.
I learned of FR when I was recommending WorldNetDaily at as UseNet site, and someone told me if I liked WND then I’d love FR.
And I did. And do.
Remember when we would get all those pouty mass-defections, with the elaborate goodbye’s, and stuff...?
