FreeRepublic.com Finances

At the TrueBlueConservative message board, former Freepers dish the dirt. BobJ, who you may recall from the History of FreeRepublic.com article we wrote was a huge player on FR for over a decade before being randomly banned in one of JimRob’s hissyfits, gives us a behind the scenes look at the numbers for cost of the site as of probably a year or so ago, which is far more recent than the numbers JimRob has posted up a few times (mostly copy/pastes of an old post he did years ago)

Even though Bob J is exposing the numbers, he isn’t calling JimRob a shyster, something to keep in mind

And here is the story behind Bob J being banned despite all he has done for FR over the years:

More on the Righthaven situation in another post, but here is a bit now:

Big breakdown of the Freep finances begin here. Bob J knows a lot because he was in talks to buy FR at one point, so we can consider this highly probable information.

Despite all of what Bob J has been through, he still won’t throw out unfounded information, which makes what he says even the more likely to be true.

More info from Bob J on the TrueBlueConservative Forum coming soon. For those of us who follow FR, this is very interesting.

  1. Those who know more than what Bob J is telling or ever will tell willingly will see his TBF airings as an amusing attempt to shine the light away from him and onto FR.com as a distraction from his own history. His missteps, cronyism, personal profiteering, and attacks towards whoever he determined were “antifreepers” (including freepers) and those who questioned FR.com fundraising–or actually his attacks towards anyone who ever crossed him–were subjects for ten years of questions asked by as curious an audience as Bob J is getting now at TBF. But it’s doubtful he’s going to be more forthcoming with a sympathetic audience who won’t press him than he was with more serious challengers of his version of history.
