Good afternoon.
My name is Mike Kehoe. I am FReeper number 13,500 and I was born on October 23, 1998.
Like many FReepers, I found Jim Robinson's house through a link from Drudge. It was March 1998 and Jim's house had all kinds of problems. From the flame wars to the Whitehouse basement. From the Italians (html) which produced chaos in the Forum, to funding a website which was experiencing a BOOM in growth.
I thought at the time, I'm not signing up here to post, it is dangerous (along with death threats and lawsuits).
So along comes FR's March for Justice. These FReepers are attempting to help the impeachment of a sitting president. They are a serious bunch. Woohoo! I got to sign up...
In the last twenty years I have been to many Freeps (helped save the 2000 election), made many Friends and broke bread with some of the best people on the planet. The First lady and me have met at least four hundred FReepers over 20 years and many are still alive.
FR has been a force in our history. From dispatching lying journalists to primaring RINOs, we have made a difference in our nation's politics and culture.
I have enjoyed FR more than any other website on the internet. Thanks JimRob.
One more thing. Ever since I signed up, I have made it a point to donate to FR to keep the doors open. I believe it has been worth it.
May the Lord bless all FReepers and especially bless Jim, John and their families. Amen.
I was born on October 23, 1998That makes you literally a life-long FReeper! Congrats : )
One year behind you.
Hi.
The FReeper number used to be in your “Account” information.
I had always remembered mine because it was easy.
Might need to ask Jim or John.

I left work and followed it all day.

I’m a couple months older than you. Likewise, I discovered FR through Drudge.
Thanks.

Strike that...You are several month older than me :)
I regretted that within a month and under the influence of Newsy Brown forgot my old password. I tried to bribe JR to restore it but alas the records were lost.
Twenty years for me too! And has been my home page ever since!
Thanks.
It has been very educational. From a number of perspectives.

Remember the der spiegel translation that mentions the power of the freeper and the nocturnal pasting of posters during the 04 election, that was a hoot. i miss the zotting of trolls and the caption this photos.
