In regards to your concern I was thinking of the twitter feed if things end up slow - I don’t see too much traffic there.

My personal concern is should I take a drink for each state R wins or just the swing states and what beverage to imbibe. I’m leaning toward a shot of Jameson’s for each state, but I’m concerned I may not make it past the Midwest if things go the way I feel they’re headed

They have great live threads, especially on election night.

All we need is a chat server for the live thread.

Use one with a JavaScript client that you can launch in a browser.

If I had the time, I would set one up myself.

Free Republic on Face Book!

Why are some of you sending FReepers to other sites?

This link might not work, because I'm signed in on my account.

Was it always this bad? Like you said, FR was unusable during the debates. The last time I remember not being able to use FR was 9/11 2001. Seems like over the past year it’s gone downhill.

I don't know why it's taking so long for the group to be fully apprised of our best home away from home, altFreeRepublic.org, but there's the clickable link to it for any who still don't have it.

You'll have to register to post. It's the most well established alternate forums we have for when FR is down.

On debate nights, I couldn’t access FR, period. I would try over and over, just couldn’t get through. Acted like a website with a DOS issue...my attempts would just time out and wouldn’t connect.

I ended up over on Daily Caller, just watching the feed, didn’t try to interact, but at least could see others opinions and commentary. It was fast paced,but I would have preferred to be on FR...just wasn’t going to happen for me.

I’ll try on election night, but have figured the same issues would exist.

I am not sure what I would totally do if this site went out for good. But I have some ideas. GOPBriefingRoom seems like a nice alternative, but there is currently very few people using it. But I joined it last year.

I joined Hannity’s forum a while back. They tend to engage in discussions. I know people on this site dislike I Hannity sometimes. I just joined it a while back to engage in discussion threads. Since he once ran his show with Colmes, the forums do allow leftists.

I mostly would go to various sites amd comment there. Places like the Blaze, daily Caller and the Breitbart sites.

I also could go to some other forums I found over the years like the tea party forums, conservative underground and the conservative cave. But I never joined them before.

I would say Free Republic’s facebook page is ok. But it is not a forum. But a interesting idea.

The heck with hitting “Latest Posts” for over 12 hours.

I will be playing Halo 4 co-op with my son.

Nobody gives a rats behind what I care or object to, nothing I say will have any historical impact and what I truly want or need to say would get my posts pulled by the mods.

Actions speak louder than words and I do not want my actions recorded, observed or captured on the web, good or bad, sorry to be such a flameout but in all honesty I am getting old and I just don’t see it wasting away posting on the web 24/7. Besides I have some long distance travel to Australia coming up.
