14 years in the blink of an eye and the clack of the keyboard. Congrats!

[mazda77]

HOLY COW! It is exactly 40 years ago today that the Army joined me!

[sodpoodle]

WHOO-HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[knarf]

My wife is the one that remembers this stuff ... I'm too busy trying to stay alive.

Congrats, Jim .. and I can't begin to thank (honor) you, a true patriot,

BTW ... what WAS testerday's (no typo) problem?

[HiTech RedNeck]

In 1997 it was browsed on boxen that ate 300 watts, ran a blazing 133MHz Pentium running Windows 95, and a dial up. Formatting was wild-West and anyone could screw up a thread with naughty or erroneous HTML. Posting large graphics was a definite no no.

Now it’s on little power sipping laptops running insane numbers of gigahertz, with Windows 7 or maybe Ubuntu or another flavor of Linux, broadband Internet (full videos are nuthin’) and threads are bullet proof. Servers aren’t always bullet proof, however....

Life would not be the same without FreeRepublic..................Thanks Jim

[Berlin_Freeper]

More Power To You!

" sheeesh wat da, all this hollin and yellin after 20 hours of silence made me pee up the side of my commode...???...OH, Congrats Jim, many more years of info sharin Thank You.....anybody got a few baby wipes?"

[knarf]

I remember those big threads.

THAT was what made me learn enough HTML to keep FR clean.

I had actually been guilty of not closing a color and font size. It was HUGELY red for more refreshes than I embarrassingly want to remember until someone cleaned it up

[ladyvet]

Thanks to all who keep the lights on around here!

[upchuck]

A mere newbie!

Thank you Jim. FR fits perfectly with my addictive personality.

[John W]

Happy Anniversary, Jim!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

There literally is nothing like FR anywhere else on the web.

This is it. PS: Mr. Thompson and gang I didn’t forget my pledge, just haven’t mailed it yet. Thank you sincerely for FR.

[ShadowAce]

Woohoo!! 14 years of Free Republic! Let’s go another 14!

[khenrich]

Congratulations Jim!

[sauropod]

Am very glad a place like this still exists.

Thanks, Jim.

[DH]

Jim, you have truly been the forefront in the fight for our freedoms over these many years.

You have actually changed some of the direction this country was headed for...or at least slowed it down.

Once again, thank you.

Since Dec 5, 1997

[jacquej]

I join with all the other old-timers in thanking you, Jim, for many years on information, education, sharing, and support.

You have given us a place to call home here in the web, and a place where we can find the truth. We are so grateful.

[american_ranger]

Thank you. My life would be empty with out FR.

[momtothree]

Happy Anniversary, Jim Robinson. I personally think Free Republic is absolutely wonderful. I haven’t heard the story about how and why you came up with a FR idea/concept but that doesn’t matter. You help a tremendous amount of people express their conservative opinions and support each other’s viewpoints. You are a G*d send!

[SampleMan]

Thanks Jim, FR keeps me sane.

Proud to be a monthly donor!

[SueRae]

Congratulations and a hearty Thank You, Jim!

[Rocky]

anyone could screw up a thread with naughty or erroneous HTML

Everything would be in bold or some weird color, or be very small or huge font for several replies until someone closed the HTML code.

But it was fun, and it was the only place on the web that I knew of where conservatives could exchange information. I learned a lot just by following the discussions between other folks.

Thanks, Jim Robinson. You have done a great thing for conservatism and for America.

[animal172]

I too thank you Jim for all you have done to keep us informed y giving us a place where we can discuss those things that are important to us and to our country. God less Jim and the USA. Can’t believe how long I’ve been a FReeper. Time does fly as one gets older.

[PoloSec]

The Internet is the largest community in the world, in this community there is nothing even close to Free Republic, it stands alone...Freepers Rule!

Thank You Jim!!!!

[stayathomemom]

Happy Anniversary and THANK YOU!!!!!

[Poser]

I sure am older than I used to be. Sorry I missed the first three years.

[no-to-illegals]
