My original signup date was in early 1998, just after Drudge broke the Monica Lewinsky story.
I went to Drudge because the site had been referenced on the radio. Subsequently, I saw the link for “Free Republic” and was intrigued. I clicked the link, liked what I saw, and signed up shortly after that.
My original screen name was “seeker”. Perhaps one of you might remember me, maybe not. I even went toe-to-toe with “ash”, “ashisalive” (or whoever else he became after he had been repeatedly banned by JimRob) a few times.
I have explained this before to others. Do either of you need me to list the names of several Freepers who were active at that time, but no longer?
It’s highly unfortunate that I had to take a necessary hiatus from this Forum for a few years, but it could not be avoided. Otherwise, my sign-up date would be among one of the earliest here.
Yeah, and I'm the MacGregor, rightful King of Scotland.
Jim Rob can change the date if this is true and he sees fit.
If you have been here this long you would know that this is every newbie’s story and it is almost always a lie.
Hey seeker - I clearly remember you posting and I’m hardly a newbie
