it has to be repeated: FREEREPUBLIC.COM IS A PIECE OF SHIT SITE
I'm referring to its layout (the sick f*** memebers are a given). THAT SITE HASN'T IMPROVED AN IOTA IN YEARS. LOL, they must realize how superior this site is when they troll here! Hopefully they wonder how the f*** their donations are being spent too.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Happy Holidays to you TROLLING FREEPERS! :hippie:

3. You expected "improvement"????
Do you also expect the dog to be able to yodel while hanging wallpaper, if you just wait long enough?

Frankly, I'd put my $$$ on the pup.

4. has JimBob ever heard of threads?
They don't seem to exist over there. It wouldn't even be that hard to implement. I don't get it. But there's a lot of stuff over there I don't understand.

15. He could buy DCForum for less than $300
bolt it onto a real simple HTML front end, and be MILES ahead of where he is now.

19. He could also get EZBOARD for free
And be miles ahead of where he is now. But alas it's pointless trying to talk sense into RimJob.

22. Hey Freeps,where do REALLY think YOUR donation money goes??
Edited on Sun Dec-26-04 10:14 AM by OneTwentyoNine
Huh...certainly not into your forum which resembles a 1984 chat room setup. Next time Rimjob wants your hard earned money make him spell it out on what he'll REALLY do with it....

5. Seriously, TERRIBLE graphic design. Good lord. You can't even navigate
the place without cringing at the, uh, "creativity." (Not.)

...he could upgrade to some decent software.

7. i've been there once

8. It is all a jumble
Chaotic layout. About as uninviting as the people who post there.

9. let me also add that Washington Times' and FOX News' sites also have
God aweful designs. FAUX looks like a tabloid and WT looks like someone puked on my screen.

27. what i find most interesting about the FOX news website
is the lack of new on the site.
It is just plugs for their shows.

13. That one freeper site who's name I will not mention
but it sounds similar to Democratic underground, that site is a complete rip off of DU, right down to the format and the name. Pieces of shit freepers don't know what the hell an original thought is, they know talent when they see it, then they steal it. Miserable fucks!

16. I'm a Web designer and I'm amazed that the Freepers pay money
..to this dude and all he comes up with is a rinky-dink, hard to navigate, chaotic site.. go figure...

If I were a Freeper I'd say "Hey Man, I'm not givin' you a penny more until you spend some dough on this site..."

that site hasn't improved at all really, it looked bad when I first looked at it years ago and it still sucks the big one. I'm surprised the freepers tolerate it - on second thought, maybe I'm not surprised - I mean, they ARE idiots.

23. LOL,I've said that for YEARS after first looking at that site....
Edited on Sun Dec-26-04 10:27 AM by OneTwentyoNine
I'm aghast that those idiots DONATE money and thats what they get. Of course supporting the Repuke party makes them used to paying alot and getting nothing.

29. They tried to improve it about 2 years ago.
They added some colored tables to seperate the main message headers from the side navigation, changed the fonts, improved the navigation. It actually didn't look too bad.

Although some were really happy with the changes. The majority of the Freepers freaked out. They were lost with the new look so the administrators had to change everything back.

At the very least, set a default to a sans serif font. Most of the users probably don't know how to change this in their browser so they are stuck reading times new roman (not very user friendly).

17. If I want a headache, I mean seriously want a headache...
I will try to make sense of the freeperville site.
However, I generally hit my head on the keyboard a few dozen times and that takes care of any desire to give myself a headache.
I hate headaches about as badly as I hate that site.

21. I don't think it can be repeated OFTEN Enough, frankly.
It is visually horrendous; navigationally it's an abomination.

And then there are the posts.

:puke:

I read a post or two on occasion when someone points out something particular bizarre, but I always want to wash my hands and my keyboard afterward. :smoke:

26. What a nice after Christmas thread.
I've seen Freepers counter-protestors at rallies I have been to. I swear they all go to the same barber and get the exact same spicy haircut with absolutely no style to it.

28. On the other hand, because of its lack of features, FR doesn't
go down or slow down nearly as much as DU. It just keeps going, like a deisel engine, it never stops.

I'm sure you're not biased in any way. :eyes:

I never went on that site. I'm sure only racists post. I don't like giving myself headaches.

32. We're really spoiled here.I get impatient if the Top Ten Conservative
Idiots isn't posted in as timely a fashion as I see fit.Freepers must be brilliant if they can navigate their way through that jumbled mess.

Earl G., Skinner, and Elad do a remarkable job here.You can come here for information, interactive opinion from any number of very intelligent and well informed people, or you can just get a good laugh from a group of folks with wicked senses of humor.

I really love this place but guys, we're way overdue for a fresh batch of Hate Mail. Yeah, I guess this place has spoiled me.

:P ... Just kidding Skittles! I have been there exactly once and will never go again. The hate spewed makes me ill. It is not surprising that the morans donating have not figured out that their cash goes nowhere but the idiot's pocket that runs the site!
