Stop thinking about it.
Just do it.
You know that, because you are here now.
So: https://secure.freerepublic.com/donate/
When the website looks like something from 2011, not 1999, then yes.
Hey look, pal. If you can do a better job, open up your fancy new age web site and go for it!
What’s stopping you?
For those who support FR, click here to show it!
Keep holding your breath there Sooth, maybe you'll pass out.
Stomp your foot while you are at it.
What an unfortunate (and IMO worthless) comment. Seriously.
There are a bazillion groovier-looking websites for you to choose from, why are you here? Maybe it has to do with content, not glitz?
Personally I like the simple, clean, easy-to-navigate, fast-loading FR interface a whole cubic ton better than the fancy, cluttered, hard-to-navigate, slow-loading sites that would seem to be what you're looking for.
Since you're so knowledgeable about such things, tell ya what, why not write a groovy browser front end for FreeRepublic in your spare time, and make it available for free? You know, a flashy interface for IE and Firefox and Chrome that calls freerepublic.com to post queries and harvest results. Right? You're an ace, just do it.
IMO, it speaks highly of JimRob's patience and tolerance that your 2-year-old account is still active. I suppose Jim suffers fools more gladly than I would.
Isn't the term, "freeloader"? Why doesn't he figure out just what it would cost to make the site to his liking and send that in with his suggestions?
Sorry I’m not singling you out with this post, it’s the most recent one so I nabbed it to comment.
I’d like to change the tone of this thread if I could please.
Rather than beat up on the poster who was deciding not to contribute because he / she wanted a more modern interface, how about the poster contribute, and then tell us their ideas for improvements.
Obviously they see value here, or they would not have been on the thread to begin with.
How about it poster?
What are your ideas to improve what is already a fabulous website? And while you’re sharing your ideas, how about chip in?
I’m series.

I have donated already, but am going to donate $10.00 more right now. If everyone who clicks on FreeRepublic would also do so, the goal would be set in no time. So, here's a tener....can a few of you reading this match it even if you have previously donated? Let's do this. We need FreeRepublic now more than ever!
Woo hoo!! That’s the spirit!! Thank you very much, Swede Girl!!

Oh, I’m sure John will get right on that for you.
whew! Talk about balls...
Yeah.
When Free Republic starts looking like a Facebook page mated with a blog, that's the day I bail.
In fact, I recently had a conversation about exactly that.
"Why don't you like Facebook?"
"Because it doesn't work like Free Republic."
Click the Like button! Follow me on Twitter! I have 39,406 friends! Barf.
You use it, don't you? You post here and get news from here, right?
It shouldn't be so hard to donate a few bucks now and then for the privilege.
