And yet, it continues to take longer to end Freepathons.
Mainly, due to those who clog this website with duplicates and garbage posts. While never, ever donating.
It’s getting old.
You have no argument from me!
I’m in total agreement and ditto for the vast majority!
Actually, we were behind (quite a bit) but after the great results last week, we’re now ahead of where we were at this time last quarter.

(Hope this post doesn’t jinx us).
FReepers are the absolute greatest!!
The scoreboard shows our actual receipts quarter-to-date including the monthlies that have already come in.
You can compare our current scoreboard to those that were posted on threads of earlier quarters.

Thank you all very much!!
FReepers are awesome!!
Btw, we set up a four hour time limit on duplicates several years ago. If the original thread was posted the prior day or in the morning, say, and now someone on the afternoon or evening shift posts a duplicate, we usually don’t pull the dupe. Especially if it’s receiving a lot of replies. People on later shifts may never see the earlier posted article unless it happens to get posted again. A few duplicates don’t hurt anything.
