What's Up With Free Republic? (VANITY)
08/29/08 | Self

Posted on 08/29/2008 8:13:09 AM PDT by pgkdan

What's up with Free Republic? It's awfully slow and when I can get it to open...usually after two or three times...it opens in Safe Mode. Is it just me or is the Sara Palin news swamping our server?

Is anyone else experiencing this kind of slowdown?

I agree. I thought my DNS server was going on the fritz but then I realized I'm using OpenDNS as my Domain Name Server, so it sounds like a FreeRepublic problem.

It’s not Palin. McCain will spring a last minute surprise. It’s still McCain/Romney ‘08

it’s FR. I reset my router, rebooted my modem....still nothing. All my non political sites are fine. FR, Michelle Malkin, LGF.....can’t get to them. I think it’s the excitment about Palin. Heck I’m thrilled.

I’ve been on FR a very long time. Even during presidential election nights the servers have not run as slowly as they have the last 24 hours. It’s really bad.

They ought to make a phone like that. Not real, of course but that looks like that.

Too many people are pretending the Admin Moderator doesn’t exist?

When will FR allow hot links to be posted instead of making us use the cumbersome html language to post them?

Yep - couple of days ago I couldn’t get on at all and it was well after Midnight when most normal people are asleep - kept kicking me to Yahoo and all their garbage. Been slow every time since then. Also kicked me out a couple of times today. Not sure what’s going on but now I know how a baby feels when his mom takes away the pacifier!

It looks like a Denial of Service attack may be going on...

By the way, it IS Sarah Palin... just announced on ABC News Radio...

It already does.

Just paste in the hot-link without anything else that looks like html.
