Free Republic further underscores it's relevancy as a powerhouse political center of gravity with server crashing traffic tonight. The press, pundits, lurkers and Freeps buried the robust Free Republic data center with page requests resulting in server error results and long page request waits. ..YEAH BABY

[kingu]

The lurkers are encouraged to hit the kitty as hard as they’re hitting the servers.

[gidget7]

SO I noticed!! LOL

[uglybiker]

Kitty is not amused.

[sofaman]

Just saw something on CNN that is vaguely amusing. They're listing the number of votes per candidate, as well as the percentages.

Chris Dodd received 1 vote. I kid you not.

Plugs Biden received 23.

No wonder I’m having prolems tonight. This site crashed harder than the Hildebeast did.

Ya lost me on this one. I’ve been cruising around FR for the past three hours and haven’t noticed even a hiccup. What is going on?

[geopyg]

America wants the truth? Hunter and Thompson are the true conservatives to vote for.

[sofaman]

Dodd & Biden withdrawing from Presidential race. They’re taking their combined 24 votes and going home.

[weegee]

It’s been crashing since mid afternoon.

[abigailsmybaby]

Ah, so that’s what it is. I keep getting Proxy Server errors.

[bannie]

I took off for awhile; but I’ve had no trouble...but I have seen some unfamiliar names around here!

In the words of John Kerry, “who wants to be the last person to vote for Chris Dodd?”

[Michael Barnes]

Ah yeah, trip~ post

[Theresawithanh]

Heh. I got the “proxy server error” quite a few times tonight.

Just proves that FR is teh place 2 B! (I can’t believe I just typed that - there go my spelling police credentials!)

[Coldwater Creek]

Have you not noticed all of the double post? And, slow!

[sofaman]

he had a bunch of people at his campaign headquarters and managed to squeak out one whole vote.

Flock? No.

Sheep flock and merely graze the surface of issues by listening to celebrity TV talking heads....

One vote for Dodd! Rofl!!!

They must have given a homeless person some cigarettes and a beer.

[OKIEDOC]

Thanks for the information.

I really thought it just more of my ignorance of the computer.

[Huck]

It always crashes during freepathons.

[sofaman]

ah...so Obama received 940 delegates?

[rockinqsranch]

You talking about the hits, or what? Seems everything at this end is the usual. I don’t notice any slowwwwwwwwwwwws at all. Like I said, been here the past three hours and haven’t really noticed anything strange other than Huckabee’s win in Iowa.

Really, that is so cruel of the Iowan’s to lead that poor guy into believing he has a chance, and prolonging his misery...and ours. Perhaps Fred will give him a position with his Administration to make it all better.

Kinda like milk and cookies. Chocolate Chip are my favorites. Wonder what Huck would want.

AHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just had a Server Down Problem for the first time tonight. I now see what you are talking about LOL.

[sofaman]

I must admit that I did chuckle when I saw that...

[racing fan]

Not another thread turning into cat pictures.

I know many here love cats and post pictures of them.

However, dogs are better. They are man's best friend, you know.

[higgmeister]

Plugs Biden

LOL "Does my new hair make me look vain?"

[TOneocon]

Did I miss something as I was reading a thread before I refreshed??

[rockinqsranch]

Sheesh! Last I saw the post had the AHA! bit at the bottom, but ended up in the middle of my /s post about milk and cookies for Huck. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

Yup, things are screwed up aren’t they.

[dfwgator]

FR is America’s Show Prep.

[xjcsa]

That does sound high, doesn’t it. But he got at least 70,000 votes...so I’m not sure what the deal is.

[sofaman]

LOL!
