Anybody know what the record is for a FR thread?
The squabble between Big Jim and the "unknown disgruntled Freeper" is still going strong at 1,190 posts. I don't think even Orly Taitz has generated this much buzz...

4. In simplest terms,,,
the natives are getting restless about the ever more frequent FREEPATHONS raising money to run the forum, while the software itself is apparently on the verge of collapse and never gets any better.

2. They've still got a long way to go.

DU's longest thread was finally locked by Elad after 2,572 posts. Compared to that, the thread at FR is an amateur effort.

9. Don't think that hasn't been brought up 500 times...

Jim's attitude seems to be "if you think you can do it better, set up your own damn board"...which led to the aforementioned "disgruntled unknown Freeper" who did just that.

8. Rimjob may be concerned that using newer BBS/messageboardforum technology
Edited on Tue Jan-18-11 02:02 PM by Urban Prairie
Would make it very or much more difficult to scrub his website clean of posts/threads that were made by a now banned member or members that posted something, for example, culpably incriminating or violated some obscure copyright law(s).

Either that or he much more likely is a complete tightwad who would fight with anyone over one cent more of profit, to the point of stretching that penny into zinc/copper wire...heh!!
