Y’all might consider putting all n00bs on a probationary status for the duration. Maybe their posts can be subject to review prior to posting, or some such thing.

Great idea to consider. New signups at this
point in this close election aren’t all going
to be Snobama muckrakers, but I bet a fair
amount could be.
Thank you so much for this post. You are a scholar, a gentleman and the best of FReepers.
I do understand your concerns and I will keep a vigilant eye out for undermining forces. “Good on you”, Obadiah!!
Thanks for the info!
Prayers up for FReeRepublic and our great country.
Yes, same here. That particular problem (the blank page) seems unique to FR.
LOL! It just happened again on my first attempt to post this (blank page). However, I checked 'pings' to see if the post did get through before I sent it again. My guess is that some folks might not be checking before resending, thus one possible reason for the double postings.

I guess this isn’t a good time to request prayer for my pumpkin plant that seems to have contracted a blight of some sort?
May God shine a little light onto your pumpkin.

I've had many instances of the "blank page" over the past few weeks. I've never resent the page, just clicked "Refresh" to reload and have always been led to the page that includes the update. No double posts here.
I'd suggest NOT sending again.
You know, I’ve always been amazed at the fundraisers on this site, a ton of money is raised and yet we host our site for very little money on a network you could not bring down if you tried, it’s all .NET technology too running on SQL Server. A few thousand dollars a year is all it costs and we’ve had massive denial of service attacks against it, we surived. I cannot say more but suffice it to say with the money raised on this site this should be a non issue.
Well, I’m sure we’ll all be a lot happier once John gets the new servers installed. Hopefully, it’ll be today. The good news is, we’re getting a helluva lot of new traffic. People are flocking to FR to read the latest news and conservative opinion.
lol....you bad..
Thank you for your continuing support.
I am not enough of a techno-geek beyond my own firewall to agree or disagree.
I can offer my observations whicj agree with Obadiah. FR has been remarkably slow these past few weeks. I haven’t noticed problems loading pages at FR ever. Not like this. I have to hit a link 2 or 3 times and when it works, it takes forever to load. There is almost a pattern to it.
Read the last few posts here:

I am NOT covered in tin-foil nor do I see black helicopters. I do believe in an extra measure of caution at times. :-)

More than a little Jim, I live in the darkness of Connecticut.
We’ll be fine. John has done a remarkable job of keeping FR on the air for all these years.
My two year’s of posting ends next month.If all you FReepers have put off contributions until now please reconsider.Let’s make next month’s FReepathron short so we can put more effort into the coming election.
Sounds like good news all around (new server, new customers). Of course, the more that tune in the better, especially now, *before* the elections.
