MY FIRST DECADE AT FREEREPUBLIC
Vanity | 12, 31, 07 | Vanity

Posted on 12/31/2007 4:38:31 AM PST by jslade

10 yrs. A decade. 1/10th of a century. Been a long time. I found this wonderful place exploring the Internet. Looking for info on the disgusting second administration of the Klintoons I followed a link on Drudge (Whitewater) and, bingo, there was FReeRepublic. I didn't lurk. I went right for it.....signed up 12/31/97. What a great ten years it has been. Billy's BJs, Y2K, 9/11, 2000 election, 2004 election, Swiftboats for Truth......what a fascinating ten years it has been. Looking forward to my next ten. Happy New Year everyone!

I’ve been here since 1998 (under several different names). How time flies...

Only six years of anonymous troublemaking for me.

I’ve met lots of great guys here, and some real birdbrains.

One hint to y’all: real wits don’t use smilies or /sarc tags.

Arrived a couple of months later via the same route. Been an interesting and often fun ride. Hopefully will be around in another 10 years. Congratulations on a decade!

I followed Jim Robinson over from the Prodigy Whitewater Bulletin Board where the admins were harassing him for putting up too much copyrighted material. Free Republic is the best of the Internet. Congratulations, Jim, on a great 10+ years — and jslade for being an early pilgrim.

My current screen name has 7 months on you! :-)

My first screen name was Jan 2000 or something like that, but I take credit for being an “undocumented lurker” for a year or two before that.

Congrats Jemian!

I waited until the Black helicopters circled your house before I joined. I was only a lurker till then :)
