There must be a lot of I think Rimjob shut it down to scare the suckers into ponying up more cash.
That I would find not in the least surprising. Maybe they're fumigating to try and get rid of some of the stench?
There's a fumigant that strong? ; )
They do that just about every Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton The human herd stampedes on the fields of facts and the valleys of truth to get to the desert of ignorance. Saman Mohammadi "If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner." Mencken "..if the military is going to defend our freedoms, then we need freedoms to defend. Our freedoms must be restored before the military can defend them..." Lawrence M.

No, they at least have to give it a try - if only for window dressing. deleted
The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” —Samuel Adams

Why doesn't RimJob just submit a grant application to Sheldon Adelson, swear everlasting fealty to Israel, and be done with it??
conservatives NeoScum wringing their hands over that. Hopefully that will give the drool on their keyboards time to harden before they again start projecting their delusional psychotic hatreds as universal truths.

... and of course an Israeli flag in the background. It is one of those tragicomic things. As FreepTardia was subverted and moved over more and more to a Propaganda/Perception management operation more and more the people who made it a vibrant community and hub for exchange were surgically removed the more it declined. Now it is little more than a laughingstock and income source for a soulless grifter. All that Rimjob is missing is a poster pic for "fundraising" that has him giving a sappy look with an abused puppy with only three legs and sad eyes sitting on his lap with him bellying up to a hearty dinner of a bowl of Ramen Noodles and a broken piggy bank in the background.

I lost interest in that forum about 8-9 years ago when they started limiting the types of HTML we could use in our posts. We've got such a lovely and tolerant hostess here, why does anyone even care what goes on at FR now days? It's comparable to eagles complaining about pond scum.

There's only one way to deal with those kool-aid drinkers and that's with more kool-aid. I'd be happy to kick in on that one. Maybe they're fumigating to try and get rid of some of the stench?

Not really, but I would guess more that 50% as he raises much more than can be accounted for in reasonable bandwidth and hosting costs. Perhaps a little more for software maintenance, but I would guess that he makes a comfortable living off of the site. Anyone have a clue what he takes off of those contributions?
#17. To: Eric Stratton (#15)
... except I suppose if/when the economy really starts to make a break for the doors, ... which could be now/soon. No, it is likely to be down just enough to make his flock of denizens a little anxious and more willing to cough up more coin. It's kind of like the grounds around the Scrambler or Roller Coaster and scooping up all the change that dropped out of people's pockets. After all where else can they post NeoScum propaganda 26 hours a day with no contrary arguments allowed? If the SHTF bad enough he'll feel it, but I'll bet he has built up reserves. BTW, as a tool of the swine, I'm pretty sure that he'll never be down permanently.

LOL that was exactly my first thought. He used to do it all the time when donations were slow. I think Rimjob shut it down to scare the suckers into ponying up more cash.
changing the puppet does not change the play.

There used to be some good break downs on Clown Posse. I don't remember much. There was also a break down on how much he got, how much his son got and someone else I can't remember.

Certainly more than that. He pays his son at least $80,000 a year to keep the site up and running. We can all see how well that's been working out. It's obvious he doesn't pay anything for ongoing equipment maintenance, and the software is the same ancient crap he created over a decade ago. I'd estimate Rimmy's take, including what he pays RimJob Jr., to be at least 75% of what he claims he needs to run the site.

I wouldn't consider that an unreasonable guesstimate - I was just trying to be conservative rather than NeoConservative. ;-) I'd estimate Rimmy's take, including what he pays RimJob Jr., to be at least 75% of what he claims he needs to run the site.

Since I find FR to be one of the most amusing sites on the web and I also appreciate its value as a crazy magnet, there are days I'm almost tempted to PayPal Rimmy a buck, just as a tip. Almost tempted, that is. Too bad he won't accept less. I'd love to PP FR a dime, just to annoy him.

I'm sure that a majority of the There used to be some good break downs on Clown Posse. I don't remember much. There was also a break down on how much he got, how much his son got and someone else I can't remember.
take heartfelt tokens of support from the suckers errrr, FreepTards, uh, yeah, generous supporters that's it, generous suckers supporters can be accounted for in such legitimate costs. And that does not include the other payola funding from intelligence philanthropic agencies and/or ADL interested paytriots.

You're probably thinking of Anytime Amy, or whatever the hell her name is. She's the one who cooks the books. There was also a break down on how much he got, how much his son got and someone else I can't remember.

Maybe he needs a new wheelchair. I think Rimjob shut it down to scare the suckers into ponying up more cash.

I think that's covered in the budget under "Travel Expenses: $1200/month". Maybe he needs a new wheelchair.
