It's 10 years today that I first posted or commented on FR. Since then I have posted over 4,000 comments or articles. Other than Jim Robinson I don't think there are too many left from 1997. I am proud to be a member here and glad to be among some of the finest minds and wonderful people who call conservatism their home.
I hope that I have many more years ahead of me on FR.

Remember when a poster would neglect a switch, and the whole thread would be in "italians"?
Congratulations.

Congratulations Russ, I was a mere lurker when you joined.

I don’t remember exactly but I think that the Dec 5 date was a default for a bunch of people signing up (my sign up date is also Dec 5, 1997). Before that, you didn’t need to register to post. I think a bunch of us have Dec 5 but I don’t think we all signed up right on Dec 5 (I could be wrong. Maybe someone with a better memory can straighten that out).

Feb 12, 1999 here. Under a different screen name. I had been lurking about six months before that.
Remember the old WHITEWATER link on Drudge? A lot of us got our start that way.

I have been thinking about this as it came to me that very soon there would be a rather large number of FReepers that are seeing their ten year mark on FreeRepublic. I am not due for about two and a half years but hey, how many other sites have such a retention rate? FR has got to be some sort of a record setter in a lot of areas. Are there any such statistics available on the net that compare the longevity and retention of members on websites?
How about a designation “FReeperX” for ten years in and still posting?

Ten years and we still don't know what happened to the $60 million lost at Madison Guarantee Saving and Loan.

Well congrats and a cyber high five to you!!!
I just had my eighth anniversary (and my roses are where?...LOL)
I was here earlier though, and something crashed and I had to re-register so in reality its nine years (or so) for me...(to date no bans or suspension either!)
Here is wishing you ten more!!!
