Is it just me, or is FreeRepublic not working right?
Vanity | September 3, 2010 | 2ndDivisionVe

Posted on 09/03/2010 9:22:48 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

I can barely get here, can't do search or pings, etc for at least the last day or so. Is it just my terrible ISP or are we under attack or something?

FR went down this morning. It’s been hit or miss since.

Did you check the yahoofreerepublic site?
FR has been down all day, I just got here but haven’t looked around to see if there is an explanation.

I have been having the same problems on my end. It is most likely a server issue on their end. They have had them before and get they get it fixed. It sometimes just takes a little while.

I always think it’s my crummy laptop or Verizon wireless! Haven’t joined the Yahoo message group but that’s usually the first place I check.

Yours is about the third and maybe the fourth vanity asking the same question...lol.

Bookmark the yahoo group FR on Yahoo.

Jim posts updates there.

He can’t post here when the site is down.

Some pages on he net I can’t even access at all, and usually can.

Frustrating. Have been on the road for two days. Today has been the worst in terms of connecting w/FR. Started @ 2100, this is my second attempt @ connecting. Godspeed.

I know I'm older and my memory isn't so very sharp, but it seems to me we're getting something almost every weekend.

One plus side .... we've cleaned our machines with every tool we have and a few of us finally broke down and actually paid for a better antivirus or upgraded to some pro edition.

JR used to send out private emails in bulk to explain.

And nothing over at the yahoo place either.

Is that really necessary? I think not.

Someone posted that Jim did give an update at the yahoo group.

Were FR "under attack" or "shut-down" by obama's government, Jim would be in immediate contact with Andrew Breitbart, Drudge, Ann Coulter and others, so the "news" would instantly be the talk of the internet.

You’re right. It is a good alternative. I’d joined that one but when I knew FR was going to be down for a while I decided to do some shopping!

There's a site for that: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/www.freerepublic.com. It tries to access the requested site and reports back its success or failure.

Yep...Had the same problems here.

I was about to start flopping like a wet fish on the floor with the Free Republic withdrawals.

The Left is obviously wetting their pants about something.

Good.

Hey, Jim, et al., I commiserate. Many night late, stuff doesn’t work, alone, dark, trying to figure out why it doesn’t happen. And... and ... and then you got it! And when they come in the morning, ah, gosh, gee, all in a day’s work.

And my friend tells me about the cold of the concrete from the shop floor on legs that have become stilts, in the middle of the night to make a deadline because the customer needs it in the morning.

And bringing in the crop — well before dawn and long after dark — falling asleep in work clothes after quick supper and waking up to do it it again — for weeks — ...

and the quiet satisfaction and confidence that you can meet the challenges ... and

And that’s us AMERICANS ... down to the wire, exhausted, tired, facing hopeless odds ... and ...

WE WIN.

God bless... take care . ...

I am just stating what has been done in the past.
No opinion by me on neccesity or not.

I went over to yahoo and did not see any message from JR, must have missed it.

It was nice getting the auto message sent out as it let me know it was not my webtv dial up.

I saw posts at yahoo from others saying they could not get in here and that pretty much sums it up for me.

FR is not accessible at time period for what ever reason. The last thing I worry about, even though it does cross my mind, is that some person/group pulled the plug here.
