Hope I don't get banned but I am sick and tired of free republic acting like nothing is going on!! Either we are under attack or the equipment is inadequate, I hate that there are no posts about the curent issue.
How can he post when the site has been down?
I can’t believe you weren’t kept in the loop...I am going to get to the bottom of this...
Jim doesn’t ban folks for asking a question, or criticizing FP for anything ... otherwise I would be long gone. I agree, however, an occasional update on system problems would be greatly appreciated.
Non-issue (of web pages).
lol
That would be FR not FP ... got problems of my own. LOL!
shhhhhh....you’ll wake someone up
Well, that’s been a challenge today for sure. The site keeps coming up, going down, coming up, going down. Something wrong with either the cage or the squirrels, not sure which.
It IS frustrating when a page “hangs” or a reply takes forever to post.. I’m about to experience that now.. click!
Don’t think VaRepublican mention that the system was down, just having problems. LOL!
I imagine they are busy keeping the site ‘zombie-free’... Sh!t happens, get used to it...

I have a dial-up modem so I am not too surprised when a page doesn’t load. I have noticed today that FR (and another site) have failed to load maybe 9 out of 10 times. This happens every now and then and I have no idea what is happening.
So, what is happening?
Did Jim fergit ta jiggle that handle agin?
I wouldn’t necessarily categorize those who keep FreeRepublic running as pretending nothing is happening. My guess is that they are hurriedly trying to plug each hole as it appears and anticipate everything they can before it happens.
If you’ve not worked on computer equipment, it may be difficult to understand the challenges involved in keeping it up and running.
The trade-off is having them take the time to give a status update to those of us who use *their* equipment, or spend the same amount of time trying to get the system stabilized.
In the end, what would *we* do differently if we knew it was a hardware malfunction, a DDOS/trojan/other exploit, software glitch, or power problems?
Apparently FR has different ideas.
Here’s the way I see it. This site costs nothing to join except if you choose to donate, which I do, monthly, BTW. It would be different if Jim charged you a fee for joining, then he would be obligated to buy better equipment or hire some experts to keep the frickin’ liberal hackers from making attacks on us, but he doesn’t charge you. That means you have no right to complain. Except things the way they are or leave, simple as that.
I really love FR at times like this....
if you join the yahoo group, you’ll know.
i’ve been having trouble all day and i have cox.
must be those pesky obamaites.
