The Most Active Liberty Forum in New Hampshire!!

The Free Keene Forum has hit a new milestone! Not only are there over 725 members and 22,000 posts, but now we’ve surpassed the NHFree.com forum in activity! In the month of October, the Free Keene Forum saw 2972 posts, compared to NHFree.com’s 2211 and the Free State Project forum’s 2253. (We’re also winning solidly this month, too.) Both the NHFree and FSP forums had more new users than we did, but our users are far more active. The other forums in the state (NHLiberty.org and NHTeaParty.org) didn’t even come close.

Thanks to everyone who participates at the Free Keene Forum. If the popularity there is any indicator, we have a lot of new people who will be coming to Keene, as they clearly know where the action is in the liberty movement!

Congratulations Ian! It took a lot of work on your part to get here.

When will Keene be free? 10 years? 5 years? Thanks to your work it will be sooner rather than later.

You've created a nice place on the web Ian.

I didn't realize there was a competition going on. I notice by your comments on your show and such, that "activism" in Keene started when you landed.

Love the enthusiasm, not so much the spin.
Ian

Not sure what comments you're referring to, Graffiti. I have publicly stated many times that I moved here because of the activism already happening by people like the Kannings and Lauren Canario, so if I said something like you are suggesting, then I miscommunicated and I apologize. I'm one of the early movers, but not the earliest.

I think competition is a healthy thing. Here's proof. FreeKeene's success has spawned an imitator and I am very pleased. I'd hoped this would happen a long time ago, but I guess we needed to prove ourselves first.

Here's the first Free Keene inspired liberty activist site:

They even have a forum:

Rumor has had it that a FreeManch.com will be launching, but nothing has yet materialized.

Hey, is there any way that you site admins, & techie geeks can pull up the stats for how many "hits", or "page views", or whatever, these blogsites get?…I'm sure there are many, many, many folks who log on, read, and log right back off again. I, for one, would be interested in seeing exactly how many folks we're attracting…Whaddya say, Ian, is that something you guys can do? THANKS!

Brute force, no matter how strongly applied, can never subdue the basic human desire for freedom and dignity. It is not enough, as communist systems have assumed, merely to provide people with food, shelter and clothing. Human nature needs to breathe the precious air of liberty.
