I just found out that Free Republic is on Facebook!

Anyone checked it out?

[Constitution Day]

It’s been there a while. I haven’t looked in a while.

[erkyl]

Yeah, no one is on it, no updates or posts, and most of us don’t like that we lose our anonymity when joining. You can join, but there’s no activity.

[Constitution Day]

*Also, I can get on FR at work, but not FB. Probably why I’m here more. ;^)

That is why I signed up under my screen name.

There was no, I repeat NO way I was signing up there under my real name.

[napscoordinator]

No I haven't checked it out. I should go give it a look. I have only logged on twice today so what is another check in the big scheme of things.

You mean that's NOT your real name? Damn, now I feel stewpet.

[Constitution Day]

It’s a TravisT! LOL

What’s a “facebook”?

[mnehring]

Yep, the official group has over 1000 members. There are also a couple of fan pages.

” What’s a Facebook”

It used to be called Book’n in the South; you get slammed upside the head while believing how important you are and don’t have a clue to what’s going on.

[mnehring]

You must be looking at one of the fan pages. The group page there has over 1000 members and is pretty active. (Listed as “free republic on Facebook”)

[Fawn]

Yeah the last thing I want is to give up my identity.

[infidel29]

1019 to be exact, but I'm sure you know that :)

Of course it's a matter of personal preference, but I'm not afraid to have my name attached to whatever "hate" I spew over there. I figure when the 0bama brown shirts come calling, they've already gotten enough evidence to send me to the re-education camps anyways.

[bigbob]

quick, let’s get it OFF!

[erkyl]

Oh, no...I’m a member of that group — I just don’t get the status updates on my wall. Wonder why?

[Kimmers]

I only go there when FR is down.....which has been a number of times as of late......

[My hearts in London - Everett]

There are many of us on the FR FB page! lol Good place to go to get updates when FR is down too. :~) I’ve been able to get a few of my FB friends to “like” the page and I’m hoping that they might check out our forum here.

[gimme1ibertee]

Yeah, I got that. I did a search when I couldn’t get onto FR on Monday,mainly out of desperation in not being able to get my daily FR fix. I don’t know what was going on but I kept getting a “connection has timed out” message (I use Firefox).Now that I got my FR back,I don’t see the need to go to a page that’s really just a waste of space.I am home!
