It looks like somebody might have hacked the site and is spamming from accounts.
At least that's what it looks like to me.
Yes, definitely hacked.
Joe Biden has joined the Free Republic.
shortstop now spamming
an active account (likely post 8/24)
I have no idea, but he has obviously acquired access to post from accounts of his choosing.
If any of that crazy junk ever looks like it’s coming from me, it’s not really me.
Though I did screen shot some of the insanity.
Looks like Hunter showed up.
Me neither. I’m funny, but not crude.
Could be the Taliban.
Sad for those Freepers. At least three of them had posted normally today or last few days.
Would logging out be a wise or foolish thing to do right now?
There was a good comment made last night by somebody. A name that I hadn’t seen but with a signup date of 1998. It seemed odd, but the comment was okay so I didn’t go digging to see if it was an old dead account that was brought to life.
And - I see that donations are at the 64% mark, but I thought I recalled they were at 20-something yesterday. I wonder if the hacker is doing something with that too??
“ shortstop now spamming”
****************************
The spammer/hacker is jumping from account to account.
I would suggest logging out for the next day or two. That may be a good thing to make it easier to rebuild the database.
Jim Robinson should let us know what he would like us to do.
I was wondering whether safer to stay logged in or log out, too. You are right. JimRob should tell us. I will wait to hear from him or mods. Poor mods! What a nightmare!

If Robinson or the mods comes on and tells to shut her down, I will.
Some malcontent(s) running a script. Weak passwords are weak.
I’ve been using the same password that was assigned to me at the start. It’s been good so far.
Should we all call it a night and log out while you guys do your thing?
I changed my password to ChinaIzAzzhole :^)
Good to see ya John.
