What's yer round up number. How long you been a freeper? (Old Time Freepers Wanted)

Scythian - Since Dec 29, 1998

I've given my opus a few times but always came a crawlin' back. I figure if they go by "join date" we old timers will go first ...

So any active Freepers out there have joined dates more ancient than mine?

Speaking of Sore Loserman, this was a sad day in Free Republic history.

Found FR during the FL recount, december 2000. Never left! Thank you for being my sanity during these times!

Nah, the Freeper “Norm” has been around longer than me IIRC.

If you want to know something funny, I found this place from a link at “The Progressive Review” because they linked out to the “Whitewater File” on FR. I discovered DRUDGE from this place as well as many other web sites that no longer link to here. In fact I received the Drudge email alert about the Clinton Staffer (i think it was Sydney Bloomenthal) that was beating his wife, and the retraction shortly afterword when he realized he had been had.

I was lurking in 1998...

Intimidated somewhat by HTML....stopped me from posting until 2000...

Here is something I would like to know:

The date that the most number of Freepers signed up in a 24 hour period;

The number of the most post and what day that was on;

The number of the most threads, and what day that was on;

The number and day that there was the most bans or suspensions?

Thanks!

A+Bert was like watching "The Smoking Gun." Car wrecks are funny as long as you're not in them.

BTW, class of 98. Tommy's selling used cars, Nancy's fixing hair...

Officially, I've been here since March 18, 1999, but that date represents when I changed my nic to H's G, not when I discovered FR and started posting. I've seen at least three format changes, and it's been so long that I forget my original nic. Like many others, I discovered this site through Drudge in the early days of the Clinton BJ scandal.

I must admit I liked this site better (or at least found it more addictive) when it was more of a "radical" conservative site, but I still check in at least daily and post from time to time. My favorite threads by far have been the Drug War threads with the ol' warriors like Roscoe and Dane, and of course the Strippy Mom and Devil's Panties threads for good ol' fashioned prurience.

However you slice it, this site has had a tremendous impact on the way news and commentary are disseminated on the interwebs. FR forever.

I would think most bans and suspensions, JR’s purge of pro-Guliani freepers.

“Must have been that stuff. I can’t believe it has been that long.

One thing I remember along the way was Laurie Dhue’s lips. Wonder what she’s doing now?”

I don’t know what happened to her, but she was a “Looker”.
I remember the Freeper named “Do the Dhue”.

[xsmommy]

the Strippy Mom and Devil's Panties threads

they don't make threads like those classics anymore... ; )

A+ Bert would have to hold that record for both voluntary and involuntary...

[ken in texas]

Started browsing back in the Whitewater scandal days, maybe 1998?

Finally joined in July 1999 because I wanted to post a comment.
