I do.. then became LiveLeak.. which is now a worthless site (get a redirect, I think).

I remember some of the early comments on posts on Free Republic that made me laugh so hard—the Clintons stealing the furniture as they exited the White House. Too funny.

And I remember following Free Republic all day long on 9-11. Sad times. The fourth comment after the second plane hit the towers someone guessed correctly with this simple comment: Osama Bin Laden.

And then when of our very own figured out Dan Rathergate.

I was in my 20s when I found FR and am in my 50s now—we need to find new blood! Younger people need to post here.

“Give it time. They will.”

Wikipedia has had twenty one years to attack FR since Wikipedia was founded.

They are kinda slow to the draw....

Remember ogrish.com?

Yep! And the similar site stileproject.com.

Gore and porn.

I remember Ogrish had pics of some of the WTC jumpers after they hit the pavement.

No FR Joy?

You must be a Millennial.

Or in Japan.

Yeah, I remember not liking the change at the time. Seems like it got rid of a border which had been a nice visual buffer between the text and the left edge of the window. Guess it wasn’t too big a deal considering it’s been decades since I’ve thought about it lol.

LYCOS is till around. My wife still gets her email through it because she doesn’t want to have to update her address.

[Dr. Sivana]

This one started in the 90s, but just barely (1999). Still around.

https://zombo.com/

I LOVE zombo.com! And it is still as full-featured as it was in the '90s!

[semimojo]

Like automatically closing html

Ruined the experience.

[mowowie]

Oh yea Rotten.com

time flies...

[FreedomPoster]

You can do ANYTHING!

[Alas Babylon!]

I remember when someone failed to close the italics.

People would post, “Close your Italians!”

We used to have a lot of contributors from government during the Clinton Cocaine and Hooker days.

In the mid-70's I worked in Cheyanne Mountain as a computer programmer in the USAF.

We developed a system of links between computers with multi-path, redundant data-packet sharing to monitor incoming aircraft from around the world (remember the DEW-line?).

This was conceptually the form of our current internet.

Codex was a good one can’t find any more.

[Jamestown1630]

I remember seeing that!
