Are You New To Free Republic? New Or Not- Fly Your State/Country Flag!

There are still lots of FReepers who have not chosen to fly their flag. You don't have to provide any additional information, although lots of FReepers have provide pictures, e-mail addresses, and the like, you don't have to! It would be nice if you would at least "fly your flag".

This allows other FReepers in your state to FReepmail you to let you know about local FR events - rallies, chapter meetings, and other activist events.

Even if you don't plan to participate, it'll keep you informed of what is happening in your state. Now, FLY YOUR FLAGS!

Even if you don't care to "fly the flag" of your state, at least select United States as your country so that you'll be flying Old Glory. Selecting your "Location" on your FReeper Profile doesn't provide any real information about you that can be used in any meaningfully underhanded ways.

So don't hesitate today. Go to your personal profile page.

Just click on the link I just provided and select Edit Profile. There, you can select the flag you want to fly under (by using the location drop-down list) and post a few tidbits about yourself if you wish.

This is a great tool for activism to get FR chapters going in your area. We need to be united now more than ever! This makes it easy to find FReepers in your state and you can FReepmail 'em to see if you can get something going.

Once you have your flag selected, you can then click on that flag (from your profile page and see how many other Freepers are flying the same flag. Also, there is a message board under each flag so that you can communicate with the Freepers who live in your area.

Then you can click on the Scorecard option (available when you click on your flag) and see the breakdown of Freepers from every state and country.

Even more, you can use HTML in your profile, insert images, backgrounds,etc. It is fun to check out the profiles of fellow Freepers to gain more insight into who they are. There are some great profiles out there. Check some of them out by clicking on their Screen Name.

Please note, this is the public domain, so don't include any information that you don't want publicized. Your profile can include as much or as little information as you want it to. At a minimum, I see no harm in everyone "flying" their flag of choice on their profile page!

"Please hit this thread with your LARGEST ping list,thanks!"

Ok, Stolen list from somebody. I've never used it and don't know how many names are on it. To those on this list, don't panic, I probably will never use this list again. Not my style.

outdated messages that are now appearing in my Freepmail

If I understand your correctly, old FReepmail can be deleted by you.

If you mean messages on your state page, you cannot eliminate them.

I don't get any messages on my mail page. I looked at the Canada locale page and it appears a bit different than the state pages. "Country" pages and "State" pages (and mail) may work differently, so alas, I cannot offer any help here.

9416 BUMP!!!!

Let's keep going until we get 10,000. We can do it!

I think you are right about who's list it is. Name looks right to me. I did have to remove 2 names to get it to work. The only ping list I usually use (and that sparingly) is the Klamath list created from people who requested to be on the list. Don't like bothering people who don't want to be bothered. Thanks to Saber for the use of your borrowed list.

I tried to find the place to turn off the state message box and couldn't find it on the top right of my page. I have WebTV and maybe it doesn't show up with my browser.

I wish that "idiot box" wouldn't come up automatically. The first time I saw it, some FReeper in my city was saying something unkind (and untrue) about my side of town. To heck with that! I turned the flag off immediately.

Now I just have the US flag flying!! That's OK with me!
