Sarah Palin and Bill O'Reilly have been maliciously hacked by democrat party operatives in the last few days. Free Republic has been acting wierdly for the past week, now with a major system failure today.

Given the democrat party and the Obama campaign's ferocious hostility to free speech and the open expression of opinion, has FR suffered the same fate?

No. See:

Naw, it’s growing pains from a three-server expansion. It’s going to take some tuning for a little while. We lost a major MySQL table that JohnRob’s bringing back from tape, which will mean that old articles aren’t going to be available for awhile and also is affecting the search engine because there isn’t anything there to search for.

The load is probably greater lately from more traffic as we get closer to the election and maybe having more people makes some glitches happen?

Thanks, that explains a lot!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful living in a world ruled by Democrats and liberals? You’ll never meet a nicer bunch of people. /sarc

Could not answer that but the system failures and slow access timing out postings is so annoying it makes one want to stop stopping by.

When I attempt a self-search on my comments — it looks like all of my comments have been deleted?

Anyone know why? I keep a lot of good reference material bookmarked there — and I miss it very much.

[Billthedrill]

Don’t panic. They were in the table that’s being restored from tape. It’s over two million articles, so it’s going to take some time.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

After John does his recovery work, hopefully, all will be restored....

Cross yer fingers....

Well then you wouldn't be able to advertise your business in your tag line.

[word_warrior_bob]

Not to mention the frequent double posting.
