JimRob pathetically begging FR for $$ to keep "delivering pages"

[K8-EEE]

Give me a break, how much does it cost to keep that 1994 style site up??

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2500758/posts

He's saying he needs "1500 Freepers paying $20 a month." For THAT??

"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 350,000 registered screen names on FR...."

350,000 and they can't get 1500 to fork out $20...pathetic!

[Roon]

1. Aren't they holding fundraisers more often than not?

Pathetic. Their site is so lame,they are conservatives alright..afraid of changing their website.

[K8-EEE]

2. Or in their parlance, "looking for a handout!"

Cuz I'm tellin' ya none of that money has made the slightest improvement - it's so archaic!

[nxylas]

10. It's only a handout if the government gives it

In their worldview, voluntary arrangements like that are what is supposed to take the place of taxation. So whilst I'm loath to defend Freepers, I can't fault them for hypocricy on this occasion.

3. They could send him some poultry.

[BR_Parkway]

7. +1

[beac]

18. That would be animal cruelty.

A chicken shouldn't be forced to live with a creature whose brain is even smaller than the chicken's.

[KittyWampus]

30. chicken guts, not the whole chicken.

[DaveinJapan]

4. Wow. Over $350,000 a year to run a website?

[Clintonista2]

12. 1500 x 20 = 350,000?

[Maine-ah]

16. 1500 freepers pay 20 bucks a month

is 360k per year. :hi:

[Happyhippychick]

26. LOL, can't spell, can't do math, grammar sucks. No wonder they hate Obama, he is everything they

cannot be.

[DaveinJapan]

33. No, it's OVER $350,000. Per year. Like I said. ;p

[HughBeaumont]

22. Especially THAT Mosaic/HTML-era piece of crap.

I mean, has ANY one of their members ever suggested for them to move into the 21st century without getting the whole "that's what the Leninist DUmmies want us to do" lecture?

[Skittles]

5. you'd have to be an idiot to fork over ANY money to that piece of crap website

the damn thing NEVER EVOLVES

[Syrinx]

6. doesn't each quarterly fundraiser last for three months?

[nxylas]

9. It seems to

I don't go there that often, but every time I do, I see a fundraising ad.

[rurallib]

11. If the quarters were only longer, the fundraisers could be longer

maybe they could go to 6 month semi-annual funders?

[NYC Liberal]

8. Fools, money, parted...etc. nt

[sufrommich]

13. I've been watching Free Republic for a long time. I think this

is the longest fund raiser I've seen. They've been taking longer and longer to reach their goals for a couple of years now.

[boobooday]

25. It's starting to become a constant thing

I've noticed that too. Hard to make money on a freak show when people can see it for free.

[Arkansas Granny]

32. I've noticed that, too. Their fundraisers kind of blend into each other lately.

They barely get one out of the way before, "woo hoo" it's time for another one.

[LiberalAndProud]

39. That may reflect the level of giving at FR

Or it may not. The guy's a RepubliCon, no?

[hobbit709]

14. Rimjob is getting greedier.

How much goes for his website and how much goes into his pocket?

[K8-EEE]

35. It's not cheap keeping a state of the art (for 1989) site like that!

Actually he's probaly pocketing about 98.5 percent of the $$ from the looks of that thing!

[Vinnie From Indy]

15. Let's be fair and recognize that...

being stalwart GOP'ers, the bill for hookers, booze and sex vacations ain't cheap.

[zbdent]

17. no taxpayer dollars for freeper bailouts ...

[Hubert Flottz]

19. ?

"delivering pages" to the bondage bars?

[beac]

20. Donations are probably down b/c Sarah Palin is siphoning off the

disposable income of the weak-minded into her slush fund PAC.

[Renew Deal]

21. Shut it down

No loss

[SpiralHawk]

23. They need a Faux Lesbian Diaper Bondage Club fund-raising event...

Seems to be all the rage with wide-stance Family Values Republicon Homeland TeaBaggers.

[boobooday]

24. Where does the $$$$ go?

Not to upgrades, that's for sure.

[WeDidIt]

27. It costs a lot of money to keep him and his extended family living like

they were huge movers and shakers in D.C.

[SoCalDem]

28. They just need another Freep Cruise

[NI4NI]

29. He should ask Stephen Baldwin for a donation

Oh, that's right, Baldwin's begging too!

[pipi_k]

31. Awww...c'mon guys...give the poor schmuck a break...

of those 350,000 registered screen names, at least 349,997 of them are the same person talking to himself.

No wonder he can't make any money.

:cry:

[Mojeoux]

37. So this is the guy who is responsible for the word "Freeper" coming into being?

These guys are losing their web-empire? Are they all circling their own wagons?

[DearAbby]

34. Why doesn't he for BARTER

livestock, work, food?

[LiberalAndProud]

40. Webdesigners or

chickens. I think you've hit on the solution.

Although I suspect the rumors of FRs demise may be somewhat exaggerated.

[lonestarnot]

36. Not enough bootstraps egh. Fuck 'em.

:rofl:

[Jack Rabbit]

38. You mean JimRob was the one delivering pages to Mark Foley?

Well, I would never have believed it if I didn't read it here.

[Rex]

41. As a longtime imposter over there, let me tell you

the guy lies about the numbers of people who post there. I'd bet 10 times less then what he says if that.
