“This isn’t a big forum, and a shell of what it was a decade ago, when it was neck and neck with the National Review website. IMHO, no one’s getting paid here.”

Can you expand on that decline?

The Alexa rankings had Free Republic ranked at 1,000 in the US, alongside National Review. NRO is at 1,682. We are now at 3,587.

But you don’t even have to look at the rankings. The level of activity here has gone through the floor. We used to have new threads every minute or so. Today, we can go hours between new threads.

Breitbart, Fox News and some of the right wing opinion sites have siphoned off some traffic. But just as National Review purges have driven off a significant audience, the purges here have done the same thing, for better or worse.
