It's been a while since I've seen a Free Republic Opinion Poll posted on the sidebar. I'd like to suggest the Sidebar Moderator host an Opinion Poll on whether or not we want our Opinion Polls back.
And look! I got 769+ views!

on a humor thread today, I raised the subject of how the number of comments and the number of views were recorded for each thread. I miss that.
Does anyone remember when that change was made and why?
Thanks

I liked that feature.
As I recall, (poorly perhaps), it was causing too much database contention and was dropped.
Actually the number of comments (replies) is still a feature. I would guess the number of views went away in 2006 or 2007.
And....
As an extra bonus question. Does anyone remember the Free Republic Opinion Polls?
Those I miss.
Seems I was concenred even way back when. Concerned, I tell you.
Boy you’ve been around a long time :)
Can’t imagine opinion polls on FR.
Wow.
I miss the “Activity” button, which also expired without explanation about the same time but which still sits there taunting me.
BTT!
I miss the great Opus’ and the ZOTS.
Yes - we used to have a “Views” count.
I wish they would bring that back.
I also wish Jim would show a daily, monthly, and annual count of “unique visitors” to Free Republic.
I used to be able to find our numbers on various tracking websites, but all that data is behind pay walls now.
Does anyone know what Free Republic’s average daily visitor count is?
Thanks.
I know...are you conservative, real conservative, or ultra conservative?
Sorry, I do good to remember what I had for Breakfast the other day.
However I can still remember the part numbers for most things on an MGB from 30 years ago if that helps.
My faint recollection was of a massive site crash some years ago. It was down for several days and when it returned that feature was absent.
We removed it to screw with everybodys head..Muahahahahahaaa.
i believe posts 14&15 are both correct...
I remember when FReepers discovered that a multi state bomber was mapping out a Smiley Face and turned it over to the FBI (who took the credit).
Good Lord! That's what I call an Old Geezer!
What was the question? I forgot.
Gotta...call...EMS...hard to....*GASP*...breath..again 🤢😵
