I was recently digging into the history of the LP startup and I was just curious about some miscellaneous questions, if anybody cares to answer one or more: --

I notice most of you other guys' tag lines are in tiny letters. Does that effect require a special program?

What does TOS mean?

Who started FreedomUnderground?

What poster runs LibertyFlame? Why does it always seem so empty?

Is LibertyForum of the same ilk as LP,F4,FU, and LF?

Are there any other major forums beside the ones mentioned above(besides FR)?

Ann Coulter mentioned Free Republic on TV the other day, and according to an internet traffic-tracking site, Liberty Post has been gaining ground on "CensorCentral"(FR). I guess that means that 4um will eventually be flooded with lunatics and the special interests will try to buy over Ch + Zipp. It's weird how the popularity of these things are rising and gaining a lot of people's attention.

I notice most of you other guys' tag lines are in tiny letters. Does that effect require a special program? No go to set-up and you'll see where you can add a tagline. There you can use html to determine the size of the font for your tagline such as < font size=2 > (without the spaces) before the tagline and after the tagline close it with < /font size >

What does TOS mean?

Who started FreedomUnderground? I can't speak for Bret

What poster runs LibertyFlame? Why does it always seem so empty? The person who owns Liberty Flame was a poster here but no longer. I suppose the reason is that it's a matter of people's choice which forum appeals to them or not..

Is LibertyForum of the same ilk as LP,F4,FU, and LF? Somewhat..

Are there any other major forums beside the ones mentioned above(besides FR)? There are some on the left side such as Daily Kos

RE Liberty Post.. IMO it's the FR annex.. controlled dissent.. but now the purge has begun at LP as well.. lots of professional posters there.

As far as 4 is concerned.. 4 is a free speech forum .. but two things of the things dont tolerate are #1 paid shills #2 is of course anything illegal or threatening.. other than that we're pretty much hands off..

Thanks Zipporah, I appreciate it. I was curious about FU because I was reading some old posts of Christine's on there from about 3 years ago and her conversation with the other posters was describing a situation emerging on LP which was much the same as the current one. Guess some things never change.

I've never bothered with Daily Kos -- my understanding is that it's the liberal's version of FR.

I guess what got me interested in the whole background thing was Neil posting on here and when I found out who he was. I saw people dis him like he was trash on LP and they didn't have a clue that he was responsible for the code they were badmouthing him on. Sort of funny in a way I guess. When I saw pinguinite advertisement I thought, how cool is that, that the guy that designed both LP and F4 posts here regularly. I figured the designer would be a bunch of techy schmucks working for a multinational company overseas or something.

FreedomUnderground was my idea. When the Iraq war began we were all posting on LP. The war caused much dissention between those who supported it and those who were against it. I asked unamused to create FU for us non statists and anti-war folks. A core group of us, paleoconservatives and libertarians, selected the name and designed it together. It was TOS3. Then as Robin explained, we had a falling out because of unamused's son (you can read the short version from our perspective) here. That falling out is the reason Zipporah and I created this site which is TOS4, hence the #4 in Freedom4um.

Actually they have a policy of allowing some dessent at DailyKos. If you are looking for the Free Republic of the Left it will be found at this URL.

http://www. democraticunderground.com/

These people have a blatent policy of NO Conservative/Libertarian/ Constitutionalist posters which makes them more like FreeRepublic with their policy of no Liberal/Progressive posters.

Sometimes I think that Jim Robinson has his fingers in BOTH FR and DU so that he can grift money from both the "Left" and the "Right". They operate so identically. (Strict ideological membership policies and quarterly "SnookerThons" with progress bars for grifting money.)

Oh I see.. I wasnt sure where you were headed with the question..

Neil is our websmaster ..4 has a totally different look than LP (thank God and our web designer)but the software is the same although we've 'tweaked' it a bit.. the treatment Neil received on LP was inexcusable IMO.

As far as LP goes I left several years ago.. it was obvious where it was headed. paid posters and shills abound there .. the inconsistencies were one of the many reasons I left..as I said before, IMO it is the FR annex.. I thought it odd when I left FR JimRob kept telling people to go to LP.. it struck me that possibly it was controlled dissent .. and he also posted on LP several times.. which I also think is strange.. I cannot imagine myself going to another forum and posting there in the way he did on LP.. now the shills and professional posters are on that attack.. vicious and unyielding..
