Freerepublic.com Election Night Backup Plan
9/22/2008 | Me

Posted on 09/22/2008 11:44:03 AM PDT by paul544

Given how slow FR has been for the past few weeks and now seemingly to slow to a grind, I can't imagine the site being of any use on election night. The traffic would just crush it, especially if it can't handle the current load.

Is there a backup plan? Is the old Yahoo site still up and running?

The 4th quater FReepathon starts in less than 10 days, so perhaps everyone will consider kicking in a bit more this time around.

My backup plan is a bottle of Scotch. No matter how the night goes and whether FR is working or not it will either sooth the pain or help with the celebration.

I’m not sure, but I think I was banned.

Maybe a wasp stung your beeber.

I’m not sure, but I think I was banned. Can you check with Connie? She doesn’t answer my posts.

I just emailed her- we'll see if it gets me banned, too...

Seriously, I've had problems in the past with my account, mayhap your password got scrambled. We'll see.

FYI, there is a beta site:

http://beta.freerepublic.com/perl/pings

However, I’m not sure it isn’t tied to the existing servers on the main site.

Is it possible that FR is slow because we’re currently experiencing a DOS attack?

I hear that FR is slow if you have a PC, but it’s lightning fast on a Mac.
