Anyone else experience this? It's just on Free Republic only.
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!
Just had 3 in a row.
It’s happening on other sites too.
yep service unavailable constantly
must be big brother
tt’s because FR ran the picture of the rocket contrails. The Men-in-Black are terribly upset and have moved in their Beetle-Bomb (named after a 1950s Spike Jones record to throw everyone off track) internet bomb. It’ll all clear up eventually.
Sundays are getting to be notorious for 503’s.
But-but-but-—I didn’t reveal the *real* reason for the FRepathons (the FReeper cats increased their catnip and tuna demands again).
They can’t prove it was me!
Besides, you’ll cover for me, right? Right?
Shhhh! Don’t tell me you’re in cahoots with them!
:-)
So, it looks like all those FReepathons aren’t doing any good, eh?
The instant gratification crowd heard from, again.
I continue to contribute to FR because I have not found a better, more useful alternative. Perhaps the solution is a modest monthly charge. That would deal with the whiners and the trolls.
When service is interrupted, my main and only concern is to verify that it's not me or my computer, or my ISP. After that, since I do have a life, I go about my family and household needs and obligations. My stress level is usually low, even when I read about the latest outrage by our "Great Uniter."
As for the Freepathons, I contribute $30 per month automatically ($1 a day) so I can ignore them and have a clean conscience doing so. I am definitely getting my money's worth. I spend more than $1 a day getting coffee at Dunkin Donuts and sometimes I get a nasty cup of coffe that I have to throw away. Never with Free Republic, for just $1 a day, I get to read dozens of articles and opinions.
Cat-hoots?
all other pages are just fine except yahoo.pager and freerepublic.com
Really? I know what it takes to run servers. I'd give my right arm for the current FReepathon 375K budget to run my company's 50+ servers. I'm doing it for a fraction. Hell, a fraction of a fraction of that with a 99.9% uptime.
I've been here since '98 and have been a monthly donor for most of that time. FR has had more problems than any other site I've seen.
Here put this mouse suit on.
Obviously, anyone experience problems is not logged in and needs to set their beebers to stune.
GREAT TIME to add a couple bucks to the coffers. Don’t ever want this to be a permanent situation. Just a few bucks from each of us. HINT, HINT!!
Not sure it runs on just servers. Since you have been here for that long, you know the lawsuit problems and babysitting that has to be done to keep this site out of trouble. At any moment someone could come in and post a full NYT article and that would be it. Any excuse to shut it down and the libs would be all over it.
I think there has to be quite a crew working for peanuts or less following each post to every thread. 24/7/365.
Just thinking, not all machines.
