I was having an argument with another FReeper about how many of the old timers were still around. I tell people there is a FReeper vsyndrome and that most of them are still around, they just don't post much anymore.
Here is your chance to put these rumours to rest. Chime in and let everyone know you still are alive and kicking. Post your registration number if you know it.
Hmmm.....I'm 7154 at 7-20-1998 with my original screenname.
Do I count??
On since April or so of 1998....FreeRepublic is my home page and where I spend more time online than anywhere else (cept maybe Party Poker...). I don't post very often, but read nearly everything....I've demonstrated with Jim Rob during the 2000 Florida recount and met a few of the Fresno people.
I gotta know where you found the number....
Since June 24, 1998!
On my third computer, as well. First we had one of the old Packard Bells, then graduated to an Aptiva, then made the switch to Apple and haven't looked back.
June 24, 1998. I forgot how to find my signup number!
Old School is the Only School!
Meantime, here's another avatar of Major Motoko Kusanagi that I have used:
Be Seeing You,

31 october 1998 I signed up on Halloween. :)
Howdy Dale!
Duuno what happened to FTR.. I think maybe he went overseas on a job. Not sure, BuddyC/Gullimero may know.
Hope you are well!
#7794 reporting for pro-American duty.
That just means that the next time we meet, I don't have to buy you any beer 'cause you've already had a couple on me. ;-)
You're 15488
Proud monthly contributor.
What's my number, though?
9,809
You're 17059
I first signed up on Nov. 27, 1997 but only got # 6 although I am from the unknown state
I used the sign up name NoAccountOnFile because I was sure I wouldn't last and sure enough I had to sign up again later.
Pardek has been here longer than most of us, I think his original sign-up number was 4.
I better go before someone sees my real fake sign-up date...
Dr. Zoo, MSU
Bunker's been around since 98....different screen name.
From The Wall
With us in Spirit.
8869.
Signed up on 12/30/98; # 17489.
Linked here through Drudge in early Oct. '98. Found out about the March for Justice and drove to DC for it by myself from NJ.
Freeped the White House a few Saturdays with the intrepid DC Chapter.
Would have lost my sanity in '98 and '00 without this site.
Freepers are the finest,funniest and most insightful people I've known. God bless each one.
Our first telephone number was 2736. :-)
Thank you, but my gratification came from the pre-event night of seeing the line stretching outside the HQ's hotel room, and down the hallway, of caring Americans who wanted no more than just contributing the smallest part in OUR effort for justice! Other than my 11 years of Naval service, it was the proudest time of my life. And I thank you, all the others on this thread for making that possible. Hope you stick around...good night.
