We had the same graphics on a BBS I used to sys-op.

[Gore1FL]

31. The Good Old Days!

I ran a multi-line Major BBS board for a few years.

[OriginalGeek]

34. My son ran a color64 BBS

[TheCowsCameHome]

Was laughing the entire time.

Reminds me of the days I worked as a field tech and accidentally shut down an entire supermarket's registers while it was loaded with customers.

[NV Whino]

[rbrnmw]

[Maine-ah]

[Old and In the Way]

26. This will piss the dwindling core faithful JimRob apologists.

They were moaning about uptime a few months ago, too.

[rbrnmw]

27. he's swindled millions from those morons

when are they going to figure out that he is taking them for a ride????

[Indpndnt]

30. Like Willard, they're never wrong.

They'll never admit they were taken for a ride, so they'll continue on as they are. Idiots. And like their response to everything else in reality, they'll do this: [url=http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php][img][/img][/url]

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

35. Are you kidding?

Conservatives are the smartest people in the world. They could NEVER, ever be fooled!

[Barack_America]

40. Hopefully they'll applaud him as a successful capitalist.

And not be hypocritical.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

29. Is it time for another fund drive?

He's probably just doing a teaser to get them to pay for more non existent upgrades.

[aletier_v]

32. DOWN GOES ROMNEY!

AND DOWN GOES FREEPERVILLE!

[JohnnyRingo]

36. It was down last night too.

They're in perpetual fund raising now, and struggling to stay online.

JimRob expressed a desire to shut it down and retire to Florida about nine months ago. He complained that he was 60+ years old and had enough fighting with fellow Freepers. Then he had another fundraiser.

It's clear he's putting the money away to live a good life in The Sunshine State, and I don't think it's a secret. I wish I would have saved the post where he threatened to shut it down

[aletier_v]

38. You must read it more than I do

Robinson better sell it fairly soon, while it still has some paying customers.

[JohnnyRingo]

39. I'm retired...

I read a lot of things more than you.
Hahahaha

The threat to retire came when the Republican primaries were still at hand. He was so vehemently anti-Romney he initiated a purge that led to many more resigning. He was officially for Gingrich, and didn't consider Mitt a Christian. He got absolutely apoplectic over some of the Republican faithful who tried to follow the party line and told them he was sick of the whole site. Then he had a fundraiser. Hahaha

Here's another good laugh. This site gives the dollar worth of websites:

Enter DU and see the value, then try FR.
Time for another fundraiser!
