After many threads expressing frustration and dismay over Free Republic's responsiveness of recent days, I think it is worth observing that FR is today responding in a manner equal to or better than the best I've ever seen during the nearly twenty years it has been my favorite website.

Congratulations, and Many Thanks, to Jim, John, and the rest of the management team of Free Republic, the best website on the internet.

Thank you for your heroic work stomping down the cyber DOS whack-a-mole.

This battle will go on until there is a way to track the attacks to the source through some sort of tagging mechanism. I am proud of your work and I cannot express my feelings towards those who perpetrate their havoc. There must be a severe penalty for anarchists. They destroy the hard work of Americans like you who want to benefit their fellow man.

You're right. This comment from me got posted, and I haven't even written it yet. That's fast! 💫

My take is that it took a while to recognize that the site was under cyber attack. So the hardware and software that the site runs on was fine tuned, reworked and reworked again, to the point that once the cyber attack abated / was mitigated, the setup runs like a race car on nitro.

There's no other site on the internet like FR. Even when it gets bumpy it's still unbelievable what Jim Robinson and his team accomplish with just our small individual donations.

I wonder if there would be any truth at all about what are real conservative issues if it weren't for FR.

Sheesh!

I had left the tab up since this morning when it was taking 10-15 minutes to load, went back just now and was hitting refresh and cussing because the page wouldn't change.

It had already loaded!

I've gotten so used to hitting the tab, then doo-dahhing for a few minutes before having a loaded page.

Thanks, Jim!

Thanks, John.

And death to whoever the pimply-faced little shit is in his mama's basement...or whatever we can blame it on.

[aquila48]

Yes it is. Glad Jim vanquished the attackers.

Thank you John and Jim, pay no attention to the nattering
nabobs of negativity.

Thank you Freepers for your patience. (some of you)

[Alas Babylon!]

Amen!

I’ll bet you were “that kid” in school.
