>>FR has been online since I believe 1988<<

Was there enough Internet around for anyone to have a website like freerepublic around in 1988. In 1988 most people didnt even know what the Internet was. Hell I got on the Internet in about 1994 and it sucked then in too many ways to count.

But that aside the "About Link" here at FreeRepublic says "Free Republic was founded in 1996 by Jim Robinson, a private citizen from Fresno, California. "
