Are you nuts? Apple servers are NOT among the best. Desktops are fine, but not servers.
Not a counterattack, just a point that we shouldn’t assume things like this aren’t already happening.
I am aware of through a close personal contact that the planning for shutting down anti Obama web sites like FRee Republic has been discussed and will be implemented if Obama falls much further behind in their internal polling.
Right now as I write this, new trolls are being recruited to disrupt Conservative web sites.
My very high level source laughingly said that these people mean business and they do have the financial backing to cause havoc with anyone who crosses Senator Obama.
As for those polls people ask us to FReep, well these are being manipulated to Obamas advantage.
Also be aware that these folks are trying to figure out who is making adverse comments and seeking to identify their true identity.
Just some interesting information from a high level source.
I’ve seen the “John McCain sings Streisand” thread at least 4 times since yesterday. It was funny when he did it a decade ago and it was funny to watch again yesterday but it ceased to be funny after that.
Ahhhh
Above the Mason Dixon line . . .
would that . . . uhhh . . . be about at her . . . uhhhh navel?
[yes, I know what the Mason/Dixon line is/was]
I have noticed a growing amount of poop in the pool.
The problem is real, pervasive and will only get worse.
No one is suggesting the Robinsons are inept, it may be simply that they are doing the best they can with resources they have.
If additional funds are necessary to protect the smooth functioning of the site for the next two months, most of us FR diehards are more than willing to fund the creation of additional backup. There are even helpers lining up to volunteer.
Desperate times, etc....
I'm not sure I understand this. I know lib sites have an equivalent to Freeping polls, but do you mean something else?

Thereabouts. And that's why "hugh manatee" is below the Mason-Dixon line...
You might want to be careful and speak a bit more gently about people you don't know. There are many reasons people who have been signed up for years might not have been on for a while. The site could have had, for a time, an over run of rudely arrogant posters that drove them off for a while. People could have experienced illness and/or deaths of loved ones and didn't have the heart to participate for a while. Some could have lost their computer and couldn't afford to replace it for a while. Take your choice of any or all of the above...until you know for sure, you should remember that the strength of FReepers is their community and support of one another.
STRONGLY AGREE:

Ever think that a shout-out like this might actually energize checkbooks? The ultimate solution to just about anything.
Just ask Obama...
“I agree. Now is as good a time as any to pony up a little cash.”
We can thank of if as a non tax deductable campaign donation.
“And the hardware for a local cache of a flat file structure shouldn’t cost more than $1000 or so [and that’s for new equipment - used equipment would be essentially costless]. “
let me get this striaght... you want to handel teh volume of post on FR with flat files? are you insane?
Above or below her bed bunny’s bite m . . . well anyway . . . gotta go wash my imaginator out with soap.
Hey Jim, athough you'd have to be a gigantic dolt to implement this, please get rid of your database and implement some sort of file I/O to run FR.
the old HSW tactics. Maybe call it Obama’s Secret Warriors (OSW)?
Bump Bill, you are right. Some of us remember the HSW attacks and the Islamic attacks.
