My history is that I found a link to this site while reading The Drudge Report about a White House intern scandal. Thanks Matt.
Me too... That's how I first got here.
Yep. I found it through the Drudge link, too, and lurked for many months before creating an account.
What’s your story. How did you find this place?
November, 1997, when the internet finally arrived in west flyover. First stop was Drudge, and then started through the links. Spent about 3 hours on Free Republic that night, coming to the realization that I was not alone. Miss the flame wars, the banter, the WH basement corps, close your tags!, and so many long gone. Would probably still be lurking if not for a quick html primer by my TRT bud Labgrade (RIP.)
My story too! I subsequently joined under a different name, then dropped out after I graduated college in 2000. Lurked off and on for many years, but didn’t seek to post anything because I didn’t feel I had anything worth saying. Couldn’t recall the password to my old name and couldn’t find it anywhere when I rejoined, so I figure it must have been purged along the way.
