What was the name of the conservative discussion board (often called "the site that can't be mentioned') here

[likesmountains 52]

during the Bush years? I've been trying to remember it for a few days. I know DUers would go peek over there and report how their members were reacting to news events. Thank you!

1. Free Republic?

That's the one I remember....didn't know we couldn't mention it.

Or are you talking about the "offshoot" where some angry DUers went?

[sakabatou]

4. That's the only one I've heard of that was used on the regular

I hear it STILL looks dated.

[likesmountains 52]

6. Yes, it was Free Republic. Predated the angry DUers one. Thank you!

[PatSeg]

12. That's what came to mind for me

And didn't we call them "Freepers"?

[Bettie]

13. Yep....apparently, they are less

entertaining these days!

Or too toxic for even those with the strong stomachs to poke their head into that mess!

[PatSeg]

16. Oh well, MAGA has taken over

and now the Freepers are obsolete.

[Fiendish Thingy]

14. You're thinking of Jackpine Radicals I think

That’s the place where a lot of Bernie supporters went during 2016, but it devolved pretty quickly into a pro-Russia Blue-Anon Conspiracy Theory clearing house, and the original owners left the site to the loonies, IIRC.

17. I was trying to remember the name

of that group, but the only word I could remember was "pine". That was all so strange and bizarre.

2. Was it Free Republic?

There was also shit like Stormfront and other whack-a-doodle sludge pools of the internet.

[Jacson6]

3. There is a free republic an extreme RW forum. n/t

5. Thank you all!

7. You were definitely thinking of FReep, but it's dying, the current hot one is PDW

patriots.win…beware if you go, for there lies pure unhinged lunacy.

11. Freeper's hamsters are on life support....

Probably not long for this world.

[Coventina]

15. You made me lol, I'm still chuckling.

Poor hamsters!

8. Was run by a guy named

Jim Robinson … we called him rim job

[Shellback Squid]

9. yup

[Greybnk48]

18. I haven't heard "Freepers" and "Rim Job" in a long time. LOL!

I've been here since December 2004. They were still going strong over there at that time.

I used to love to see some DUer sniff out an aggressive Freeper trolling here, and get them "Tomb-stoned."

10. Conservative Cave is or was another garbage pit

Haven't peeked at it in many years.

19. Shit For Brains?

20. There was also Conservative Underground, which was a website dedicated to making fun of us.

It got taken down in 2020 though.
