Hey lady!  :shocked:

Fancy me finding you here!  What do you think about the format?  There's a personal message option here also.

We need somebody to start putting up some linked articles to talk about.

Hello Arator.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for taking the time to sign up.

Let us hope this new place will foster some good discussion and debate of the paleo-persuasion.

I'm Aerial who posts at FR sometimes. I am a dissenter most of the time over there....

I got the link to this board from FR Reunion forum.

I'm glad to see some of the folks like Merc here.

Looking forward to conversing with you all.

Hello carenot and welcome to the forum.  I would suggest finding the closest category and then simply creating a thread with your article.   No real fixed rules yet I'm afraid as we're still getting settled in.  I like the way Mercuria did it in the Illegal Immigration category if that gives you any kind of go-by.

If the article is really, really long you may want to excerpt a quote  and just provide a link in the interest of diskspace.   Just give 'er a whirl and we'll see how it goes.

Thanks very much for participating. --- ### exodus *2001-11-08 18:41* | [User Profile](/od/user/13) Hello, everyone. Thanks for the heads-up, carenot.

I assume that we can post unpopular topics here, seeing that my friend Arator is welcome.

I must admit, I'm too used to the format at FreeRepublic. I haven't yet figured out how to tell who a message is addressed to. I'll work with it, though.

Mercuria, I saw that you're the first guest, so I know that I'm in good company. Tell me, though. Who runs the place? Who is Admin? --- ### Texas Dissident *2001-11-08 19:00* | [User Profile](/od/user/1) > **Quote: from exodus on 12:41 pm on Nov. 8, 2001 I assume that we can post unpopular topics here, seeing that my friend Arator is welcome. Tell me, though. Who runs the place? Who is Admin?**

Hello Exodus and welcome.  No secrets here so I'll tell you what's up.  I'm "admin."  I've got a separate registration as Texas Dissident because the software's limitations forced me to register as admin upon start up.  I didn't want admin as a posting personality so until I figure out how to change it, "admin" and "Texas Dissident" are one and the same.

Directing replies to specific posts is also a limitation, I'm afraid.  Please consider that Free Republic is the Rolls Royce of forum code.  What I've got here is just like my beat up old truck with 200,000 miles on it.    I don't do this stuff professionally and have been learning it along the way.  I hope you'll be patient with some of the limitations here.  

Hopefully you'll find the openess of topics to discuss will make it worth your while.  

Thanks for taking the time to check in and participate. --- ### exodus *2001-11-08 19:26* | [User Profile](/od/user/13) Texas Dissident said- "No secrets here so I'll tell you what's up.  I'm "admin." "Directing replies to specific posts is also a limitation, I'm afraid." "Please consider that Free Republic is the Rolls Royce of forum code."  

My reply- The limitation of not being able to respond to a specific post can be addressed for the short term by the method you used, copying and pasting a portion of the message you are responding to.

I have to confess my ignorance, though. Did you just paste my post into the reply window? I noticed that the pasted portion of my post in your reply is in a different font. How did you do it?

As far as FR code, would you be able to "borrow" the formating of FreeRepublic, or is that a serious no-no? --- ### Texas Dissident *2001-11-08 20:05* | [User Profile](/od/user/1) Try the quote tab that is at the top of a specific post.  It will paste the entire post at the top of your reply.  You can just delete out any part you don't want.  It will appear at the top of your reply in the special small font.

I think it would be a serious no-no to try and take any code anywhere without express permission from whomever created or owns it.   Besides, we're starting our own thing here.   Keep playing with it and I am sure you'll get the hang of it.  You should've seen the forum software I started out with.  That forum was practically unusable.  I scrapped it all and went with the Ikonboard.  I think it's pretty cool.  Have you tried the personal message yet?  Check it out. --- ### Unalienable *2001-11-08 20:08* | [User Profile](/od/user/11) Just signed on today.  Looks like good software here, all we need are participants.

If we can get enough conservative opinion expressed here, the whining Marxist liberals are sure to follow.  (Many of them paid under the table by the ADL... like Jim Rob himself, for example.)  And then, my friends, the dung will hit the fan... and after all, isn't that what we want? --- ### exodus *2001-11-08 20:31* | [User Profile](/od/user/13) > **Quote: from Texas Dissident on 2:05 pm on Nov. 8, 2001 Try the quote tab that is at the top of a specific post.  It will paste the entire post at the top of your reply.  You can just delete out any part you don't want.  It will appear at the top of your reply in the special small font.

No, I haven't found the personal message yet. I'll look into it.

The quote tab works great, though. It's kind of hard for me to write in the little posting window. I've found that it's a lot easier to write in wordpad and then paste into the small post window. --- ### A plus Bert *2001-11-08 23:17* | [User Profile](/od/user/39) I wonder how long I'll last. Let's take bets. --- ### Mercuria *2001-11-08 23:57* | [User Profile](/od/user/2) > **Quote: from A plus Bert on 5:17 pm on Nov. 8, 2001 I wonder how long I'll last. Let's take bets. **

I think it's your optimism that appeals to me most.  LOL! --- ### Mercuria *2001-11-08 23:59* | [User Profile](/od/user/2) > **Quote: from exodus on 2:31 pm on Nov. 8, 2001 No, I haven't found the personal message yet. I'll look into it.

There will be a little envelope icon above the main board when you have new messages.

Not to worry about the format here, Exodus...you'll get used to it.   --- ### A plus Bert *2001-11-09 00:30* | [User Profile](/od/user/39) > **Quote: from Mercuria on 5:59 pm on Nov. 8, 2001 > **Quote: from exodus on 2:31 pm on Nov. 8, 2001 No, I haven't found the personal message yet.

Couple of questions:

What's an avatar?

How does we post to specific individuals? All I got was a post reply at the bottom of the page, which seems to post to everyone and no-one in particular? Or do we post to everyone but put a to: in the post?

- Texas Dissident** Checking in. I'm known under another moniker in the past on other boards. Decided to use the one here I've used with my friends for the past several years elsewhere after getting an invite from Arator several days ago. After awhile I might reveal the old handle I used before if it becomes an issue. Most of you won't know me as I've been away from these smaller boards for several months. I still (only) occasionally post on FR though (even though many of my posts usually get deleted pretty quickly since I no longer support mushy moderate Republicans), but usually just lurk on most boards. I'm one of the original posters on FR when it was first setup several years ago. Anyway, I am an  arch-conservative, socially as well as fiscally and I reside in the Big Bayou City in Texas (and really like drinking my Miller Lite beer at my local icehouse, thus the origin of my screen name). --- ### Texas Dissident *2001-11-11 19:19* | [User Profile](/od/user/1) Welcome, Bartimer.

America's support of Schevarnadze must have been what gave that ex-commie the confidence to defy Russia. Americans could have made a signal to Schevy to let up, but apparently they have their own agenda. The latests events will serve to encourage Schevy even more. Also, Russians have Abkhazia as a pressure tool, and the stronger Georgians are, the weaker that weapon will become. --- ### George *2002-03-02 00:34* | [User Profile](/od/user/74) I'm nonplussed.

You know and I know that the Chechen jihadi are not going to let the U.S. military do whatever it pleases in stopping it, and will inevitably force the U.S. to be an active participant. The U.S. spec ops and CIA paramilitary, with all their technology and resources, esp. post-9/11, will bring doom upon the jihadis. And remember, combat soldiers say it takes at least a year to get good at war, so when the U.S. Shadow Warriors have a little more jihad-huntin' under their belt, they'll make it look easy. And as I said before, the U.S. Shadow Warriors will now be the "duhks". And Putin, who knows a little something about this subject himself, obviously sees the same positive thing that I do (given his comments today). Look, given demographic changes in the West, Russia and Eastern Europe will be the dominant region of the world in the next generation (a point made recently by Univ. of Ulster Prof. Richard Lynn). To allow the current dominant empire (U.S.) to use its wealth and military to ameliorate headaches (Chechen/Central Asian Islamic terrorism) should be welcomed by all Slavs with foresight. --- ### madrussian *2002-03-02 23:47* | [User Profile](/od/user/15) **Quote** (Juan Raymondo Cortez @ Mar. 01 2002,20:20) but I think the infusion of U.S. war assets there will only help make the "jihad in Chechnya" a footnote in Central Asian history texts and its jihadi participants more names on Hell's guest list.** I wouldn't be so sure of it, after all Washington still divides terrorists into good and bad ones.

The U.S. military, since 9/11, has been cut loose from the political BS that created the disgusting politico-military culture of the past 30 years-- and reached its ultimate shame under Clinton, NATO, and the attack on Serbia. This is especially true given the types of guys involved in this fight (special forces, CIA paramilitary. etc.). Trust me, they think like you and I. Granted, there is still an uninformed mindset among alot of them, but I think you will see a gradual re-alignment toward our way of thinking (i.e., sagacity) as this nasty anti-terrorist shadow war goes on. Remember, with all the military-worshipping assholes on Free Republic, it was the guys at the Pentagon and ex-Navy SEALs (Matthew James, Travis McGee, etc.) who were always on the Chechnya threads giving words of praise and support for Russian troops fighting in Chechnya. My point is simply that the Russian leadership and military should be encouraged that the billions of U.S. dollars technology and highly-trained American military will be directed AGAINST the jihadis in the Pankisi (and Pres. Putin is with me on this). If some experienced neighbor with lots of nice, new equipment from down the block volunteers to help remove hornets' nests from the outside of my house, why not wish him luck and hope for the best?!! --- ### Feric Jaggar *2002-03-07 05:20* | [User Profile](/od/user/84) Wasn't sure if I was going to re-register after my account got axed (it was hell getting that avatar in place).  But if George's here then dang-it-all I'll come back. --- ### Sertorius *2002-03-07 05:33* | [User Profile](/od/user/26) Good to see y`all here, some of you twice! --- ### toddbrendanfahey *2002-03-12 04:01* | [User Profile](/od/user/0) Hello, all.  Great site, great potential ('specially now that Sam Francis's forum is closed, and posters there seem to be gravitating to here).

Regarding Sertorius, kudos to him as well.  For several months at the end of last year, he, Zoroaster, knowquest, AntiYuppie and amundsen literally kept the forum alive with their faithful contributions.  No one has put in more time on the board than Sertorius though, as evidenced by his post count.  My heartfelt thanks and respect go out to him, too. --- ### toddbrendanfahey *2002-03-12 09:53* | [User Profile](/od/user/0) I'll scout around for Old Right Web sites, Blogspot pages and discussion forums soon, and will be "spreading ze word" about this site to like minds.  So far, it looks as if the neo-con disruptors (Bush rah-rah squad) aren't stinkin' up the place, and it'd be REALLY NICE if it stayed that way. I registered at another forum recently, won't name names (it's not FreeRepublic, as I was banned there a long time ago, for toting the JBS line a bit too stringently for Jim Robinson's tastes...), but at this new site, which first appeared to be promising, a hoard of ultra-Libertarians (total free trade; even with regard to sensitive technology to People's Republic of (Red) China) started in with their ideological theses (feces) and gained the upper hand on almost every discussion.

Seriously. I can only speak about Delphi here, but I received a number of e-mails where they wanted to charge money for everything except plain text. They claimed that they were not getting enough revenue from ads to maintain the site. When you consider that most of the threads were nothing more than complaints about J.R. and the money issue and the egos of various "anti-freepers" (you know who I mean) I can see where most people simply didn`t wish to spend money on that. For them it was nothing more than free entertainment. In all, the only thing that I saw that they did was deal with the money and the lawsuit aspect of "Free" Republic [u]without ever understanding or wanting to for that matter, the **how** all this came about in the first place.[/u] Of course, it is only on forums like this one and the late SFOF that you could have any serious discussions of what was really behind the goings on at "F"R. without the flying monkey brigade throwing a fit. **Quote** **A seems more of a Noahide than a Christian.**** I think y`all are right about this. --- ### Sertorius *2002-05-06 09:29* | [User Profile](/od/user/26) Campion, Check this link out.

If you need something, holler at one of us. --- ### jjbrouwer *2002-07-11 00:35* | [User Profile](/od/user/158) Oh well, second time lucky... --- ### jjbrouwer *2002-07-11 18:20* | [User Profile](/od/user/158) Hmm... not a bad plan. Let me have a delve...back later. --- ### Texas Dissident *2002-07-11 20:52* | [User Profile](/od/user/1) > *Originally posted by jjbrouwer*@Jul 10 2002, 19:35 **Oh well, second time lucky...** Wish we could have said the same about that English footbal squad against the Deutschlanders. ;) Another 5-1 England would have been nice, yet it wasn't to be. Germans made an impressive run, considering everyone's opinion that they were the weakest in years. Just a shame those Brazilians walked away on top. Boa tarde. --- ### jjbrouwer *2002-07-11 21:02* | [User Profile](/od/user/158) If someone had to win other than us, I suppose it could have been worse than Brazil. Wheras after stuffing the Germans 5-1 on the own pitch not so long ago, seeing them win in the final would have been agony! --- ### Mercuria *2002-07-11 21:33* | [User Profile](/od/user/2) > *Originally posted by jjbrouwer*@Jul 11 2002, 11:20 **Hmm... not a bad plan. Let me have a delve...back later.** Cool. I'll find some Mel Gibson photos to splatter all over this board for the female members. (All two of them.) --- ### Texas Dissident *2002-07-11 21:35* | [User Profile](/od/user/1) > *Originally posted by jjbrouwer*@Jul 11 2002, 16:02 **If someone had to win other than us, I suppose it could have been worse than Brazil. Wheras after stuffing the Germans 5-1 on the own pitch not so long ago, seeing them win in the final would have been agony!** No doubt as an Englishman you probably see that differently, but here in the States where we don't really give a rip about our team, I was just hoping for some European team to win. Brazil is a talented bunch, for sure. It is still my opinion that they threw the match against France four years ago. --- ### Texas Dissident *2002-07-11 21:37* | [User Profile](/od/user/1) > *Originally posted by Mercuria*@Jul 11 2002, 16:33 **...for the female members.  (All two of them.)** Hey! Actually I think we have about five, but only two or so, including yourself of course, post. This is a very masculine board. ;) :D :unsure: :ph34r: --- ### jjbrouwer *2002-07-11 23:43* | [User Profile](/od/user/158) > *Originally posted by Mercuria*@Jul 11 2002, 15:33 **> *Originally posted by jjbrouwer*@Jul 11 2002, 11:20 **Hmm... not a bad plan.

(All two of them.)** Well we may be a little short on females here, but I stayed around here cause the quality more than made up for the quantity. Miss Bushie, for example - now there was a real women. :wub: :wub: Does anyone BTW know for sure what happened to Miss Bushie? I don't want to spread ugly rumours, but there's a rumour that jj had something to do with it. JJ I am going to ask you right up front and center, did you go running off with Miss Bushie? :angry: Step forward, and defend yourself like a man. --- ### jjbrouwer *2002-07-12 01:33* | [User Profile](/od/user/158) Only in my dreams, Brother. --- ### Brother Love *2002-07-12 04:20* | [User Profile](/od/user/134) > *Originally posted by jjbrouwer*@Jul 11 2002, 19:33 **Only in my dreams, Brother.** So you've been dreaming about my women? :angry: No let me correct myself. Miss Bushie wherever its not by job to control you. If you think JJ is more of a man than me, I'll just have to use use my gentlemanly discretion and say Miss Bushie, if those are your honest feelings, then I will not stand in your way -_- Maybe that's why we don't have more women here anyway. Too much testosterone, too much fighting, and not enough LUV. If we we were less macho and more just chatty and froiendly maybe we could get more women over here. Mercuria is lonely I can tell. We need to bring Veronica over to chat. Or shute, let's bring the whole Guild over. That would really bring a lot of LUV over. Let's give the girls something to call their own, and tell them Bother Love will be at their beck and call. Let LUV overflow! I LUV YUH'S! --- ### Mercuria *2002-07-12 12:55* | [User Profile](/od/user/2) > *Originally posted by Texas Dissident*@Jul 11 2002, 14:37 **> *Originally posted by Mercuria*@Jul 11 2002, 16:33 **...for the female members.  (All two of them.)** Hey!

Gibson is just some Australian traitor who made a series of historically inaccurate movies designed to show off Britain in a bad light - Patriot, Braveheart etc. The only accurate one he made was Gallipoli - and he died in that one. heh heh --- ### kUSS *2002-07-12 20:43* | [User Profile](/od/user/14) > *Originally posted by jjbrouwer*@Jul 11 2002, 21:33 **Only in my dreams, Brother.** [url=http://www.angelfire.com/nb/kuss/BUSH_REPUBLICl.html]http://www.angelfire.com/nb/kuss/BUSH_REPUBLICl.html[/url] --- ### Brother Love *2002-07-12 22:04* | [User Profile](/od/user/134) > *Originally posted by kUSS*@Jul 12 2002, 14:43 **> *Originally posted by jjbrouwer*@Jul 11 2002, 21:33 **Only in my dreams, Brother.** [url=http://www.angelfire.com/nb/kuss/BUSH_REPUBLICl.html]http://www.angelfire.com/nb/kuss/BUSH_REPUBLICl.html[/url]** You know that's what we need on this forum, a picture of dubbya holding man's best friend. Then all the women, Miss Bushies, Veronica's and Guilders could see we're not just a bunch of macho Bush Bashers, but that we are full of LUV. :wub:
