A thread with this title was posted about 10 years ago. The top choices were JohnHuang2 and kattracks (who sadly died of cancer a couple of years ago).
My current favorites are governsleastgovernsbest for posting his great commentaries from newsbusters here (this is NOT an ad). I also like RobinMasters, he finds great articles to post. Also, kudos to Cindy for her relentless research. And of course, Jim Robinson who makes this all possible.
This thread is dedicated to kattracks, a true friend of FR. May she rest in peace.
You are one nice person, Jinxy. Thanks for the smile — I needed that.
Salvation is my fave.
Well, thank you, and I hope your opinion doesn’t get you in much trouble. I do seem to have my share of detractors....
Had a dream like this once..........

“who lurked for SO LONG”
We all lurked, some of us lurk longer than others, days, weeks, months, even years. I decided to sign up because I just HAD to reply to something, whatever it was I don’t remember, but I knew I had found my favorite website after my first post.
Does this mean you’re accepting the challenge of developing the list of Alpha Freepers?
My faves are Alamo-Girl, Betty Boop, pissant, Polarik (recently signed off FR), Sunken Civ, Slings and Arrows; doug from upland; kristinn; and all those folks who maintain ping lists.
I ain’t grabbing that slippery slope, but you would be right up there.
Thank you oh so very much for your encouragements, dear Kevmo!
“Does this mean you’re accepting the challenge of developing the list of Alpha Freepers?”
No, unlike the thread from 10+ years ago, no one is keeping score. I’m not sure anyone was keeping score back then either. It is interesting how FR has changed.
When this question was asked many years ago there were around 5000 registered users. Now we have over 300,000. Things have changed a lot yet, except for the fact that there are so many more names submitted, this thread is very similar to the old thread.
I am proud of Free Republic for that.
And to reiterate, this is not an attempt to collect a list of “Alpha Freepers” what ever the hell that means.
Thanks—very kind.
Aww, thank you sweetie ;)
I'd have to say Larry Lucido, Cagey and earl Jam.
You guys always manage to make me laugh everyday with Seinfeld references. I wonder which one of us would win if we were to do Seinfeld Jeopardy game show.

martin_fierro because he posts and pings me to the industrial strength humor threads. Always guaranteed a laugh..
pissant because I always beat him when we bet (for food and drink, not money) on NFL games :) GO PACKERS! ...and he did a stand-up job with all the Duncan Hunter threads during the election. Wish I was able to call him President Hunter.

Do you remember Mustang?
-mustang sends
Miss him.
Oh, my, that’s a blast from the past. Mustang is still listed as an active member, I see. Class of ‘98. Pinging him just in case.

Where is the royal order of alhpahood list?
***I’m not sure. The first I heard of the term was on the lexicon thread.

Some alpha freepers I can think of would be JimRob (of course), dougfromupland, trixie, kristinn, buckhead, Tony Snow (RIP), Duncan Hunter, alamo-girl, betty boop, sunken civ,
maybe icwhatudo, polarik, pissant, Jeff Head, Pukin Dog (though he opused out too many times), MiaT,
I’m not sure there ever was an official list....
