Hell, I bet you could go back 10 years into the freep posts of the day and find those very posters declaring their undying admiration and love for the man. Until he lost, anyway.

Do they still do pledge drives anymore? I just remembered it used to be an annual season event or something.

They are literally doing one right now. Also Freepathons are quarterly.

Freepathons used to be quarterly, but I think they're pretty much in constant 365-day begging mode now.

Google Groups was Dejanews, Yahoo Groups is a glorified mailing list. There are many forums still online from the mid-90s, including one that I've run since 1996. The post volume is tiny, mind you, but it's online.

Freep is February 1997, SA is January 2000 (the main SA site being November 15, 1999). By far the oldest still up internet forum on the web is The WELL - which started pre-web in 1985 and became available on the web shortly after NCSA Mosaic, as the first really functional web browser, became available in 1993. (The WELL was also one of the first ISPs open to the public at the time too, instead of just being for businesses and colleges). There are likely several others that came on around that 93/94 time period and manage to still be alive, but The WELL absolutely gets the priority for its earlier internet presence (it was accessible through Gopher before web browsers for instance, though when it started in 85 it was just a bbs) and the fact they still maintain a good 3000-4000 active users at any given time. fishmech fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Aug 26, 2018 |

I still occasionally post on a nirvana message board that's been up since '96. There's probably a couple of dozen people left, if that, and nobody has talked about nirvana in over half of its lifetime

Surprisingly some of the groups I was on in the Before Times are still going, and still seem to gain new posters somehow.

I just checked and there's no article up yet, but get ready: NC's state congressional districts were shot down as gerrymandered along partisan lines, and I'm sure they'll have their usual reasoned and logical reactions. Districts were ruled as racially gerrymandered earlier this year, and there's a chance that NC could be forced into drawing new districts for the upcoming midterms http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/403890-judge-strikes-down-north-carolina-district-maps-as-unconstitutional

I'll always enjoy seeing how much Freep can be conditioned to accept as long as it's their flavor of the month doing it. It's adultery now, but I remember when Trump started saying vaguely positive things about homosexuals and Freepers got whiplash trying to swerve to "Well I guess those gays aren't that bad, and we have more important things to worry about anyway!"
