Good morning, gentle people!
Well, when we last left those Duke Boys, old Boss Hog had hatched an evil plot to blow up the Internet with his......
Oops.
Wrong script.
Wait a minute - I've got it here somewhere...
Ah, yes.
Well, when we last left the Freeperati, old Jim Robinson had hatched an evil plot to blow up the Freepathons with his words inserted into each and every thread. I had to scroll past this dreck with every thread I viewed, so guess what? So do you.
Suits on - air lock door open - here we go!
A Few Good Freepers wanted
Free Republic is currently delivering over 1.2 million pageviews to over 230,000 visitors per day. That's 40 million pageviews to 7 million visitors per month or 120 million pageviews per quarter, 480 million pageviews per year. We currently have over 330,000 registered screen names on FR.
4/5's of which are people I banned for supporting Dubya in early 2000, and the remainder of which I banned in 2008 for not supporting Fred Thomson.
Out of these millions of visits, hundreds of millions of pageviews, hundreds of thousands of registered Freepers
And these yo-yos complain about Democrats keeping people on the voting rolls after they've passed away?
Considering the average age of a Freeper seems to be between 50 and 105, and the 2-4 "Freeper (name here) has just passed away" threads I see every day, it's no wonder they're having trouble keeping the lights on. I don't know what Jim Rob is spending the money on instead of servers - maybe he's just shutting them down every few weeks to scare more money out of the yokels?
and hundreds of thousands of regular lurkers only a relatively FEW actually donate the funds to keep FR alive.
At last count, fourteen. Because they're stingy and greedy GOPers by nature. This is what happens when your target demographic is greedheads. Interesting conundrum, innit?
Now I'm not complaining,
I'm just posting this bleg at the top of every single thread. So it's more like nagging than complaining.
because we've always managed to meet our fundraising goals in the past, but it is taking longer and longer to accomplish the task.
That would be because your beloved Invisible Hand Of The Free Market nearly brought down the world economy in the spring of 2008 - which is, of course, Obama's fault.
And part of that may be because it's mostly the same few dedicated FReepers providing the funds and along with the rest of us I'm sure they're stretched to the limit.
Why, James Von Brunn hasn't sent us anything in over a year!
Sure would be nice if a few more FReepers and lurkers would lend a hand and send in a few bucks. Doesn't take much. I think our average donation is around $20, but you can send in $5, $10, $20, $30 or more and make it a monthly contribution if you can.
Certainly you guys can cut back on some non-essentials....
Food, perhaps?
A relatively few good FReepers
Oxymoron alert!
is all it takes to keep FR on the air so that hundreds of thousands of us
I grew up in Waco. That's close to the population there. If "hundreds of thousands" are your peer group, that makes you a subset of a subset of a subset of crazyville.
can join together in kicking liberal butt and continue the fight for our freedom!!
Or at least so I won't have to get a real job. Those government disability checks won't make my McMansion payment, you know.
For example, 1,500 dedicated FReepers and lurkers donating an average of $20 each per month is all it takes to continue delivering these hundreds of millions of propaganda-fighting, pro-liberty pages to tens of millions of readers every year. How many concerned citizens and potential voters can we reach for a tiny fraction of a cent per page? FR delivers a BIG bang for the buck!!
I'd like to thank the gang for the bang.
Thank you for providing the bang AND the buck!!
Cheetos Cheetos bang bang?
I donated .02 . This will cost them around $0.75 to process and deposit.
I lurvs me some Freepatons!
