We've been Freeped
Jonathan Pait
April 2, 2002

Well, Common Voice has made it into the big-time. It appears that we have been "freeped."

Don't know what freeping is? Perhaps you are aware of the forum site, Free Republic. This site and its users are the source of freeping.

Actually, the name freeping comes from the name Free Republic. The freepers are those who visit the forum and encourage lots of other freepers to go and overwhelm a poll. It happens mostly to the polls on your more obvious news site, CNN, USA Today, etc.

I happened across this posting just this morning. It doesn't appear that the freepers were overly interested--then again, perhaps the majority of Reb's points have come from freeping.

Jeepers, creepers, we've been hit by freepers!
