| Is it just me or does it take a long time for Free Republic to fundraise? |

Edited on Wed Apr-20-11 05:41 PM by Paradoxical
It's taken them almost a month to raise $27,000, I believe. At that rate, it will take them the entire quarter to raise the $90,000 they want.
Which means there's non-stop fundraising. Which doesn't seem to be the case on DU.

I feel like I've been transported back to 1995 whenever I look at it.

| 3. Would YOU donate to a place that uses such a horrible...everything? |
|
The flow sucks, the integration sucks, the programming...well, what programming? Donating to site that still looks like it was built in 1995 seems like poor value for money.
