I was thinking more about 1999. I was thinking back to when FR would organize demonstrations and rallies (Freeps), when the likes of B-1 Bob Dornan was a poster, as were other known activists and media figures. Listening to Rush was like a play-by-play of what was being discussed on FR that day. Back when the only real conservative TV was a young, Newt Gingrich railing to an empty chamber for hours, broadcast only on C-SPAN.

FR made news and history- I remember when a Freeper (wasn’t his name Buckhead?) brought down Dan Rather in Typewriter-gate.

Things have changed a whole lot. And not for the better.

You have a good memory of the early days for somebody with a sign-up date of a few months ago. Are you sure you're not a recycled concern-troll?
