Weird that a perl driven site that probably used Date::Utils/DateTime has a shutdown exactly at the moment day light savings time happen - when an hour disappears from the chronology - but sure it was DDOS attack - you lost an hour and database probably barfed, a cronjob that backs crap got lost and hung that type of thing.

When you go down on Daylights Savings time the exact second it happens mostly its you its not "them" - I doubt the Free Republic went down because of malicious actors this time

Hi.

To whomever did this attack, may you get herpes and the clap at the same time.

Back before Facebook we had an alternative site. Do we still have that?

I suspect a lot of us don’t do Facebook.

I have no idea how your network is set up, of course, and that’s something you should keep confidential, of course, but just to share something with you regarding DDOS, I have found that Sonicwall TZ technology, with the full Gateway Security package does seem to do a pretty good job.

I don’t presume to be giving John advice (obviously he’s a master at this), just throwing something out there as a technology that I am aware of and have worked with.

As for the leftist scum who are launching the attacks, I’d rather not say what I’m thinking as it would cause my post to be deleted.

Is it a coincidence that whenever something significant happens FR goes down?
For instance, Greg Craig indictment and Ed Buck arrest.

Quick someone ping DP0622.

He is probably sitting around only in his drawers, going through withdraws.

Man, I was Jonesing~!

I expect we will see more of this in the coming months.

[a little elbow grease]

Aaaaaaaahhh ........... great! I feel better now.

Now we can learn something about all those Dallas Texas votes that were not counted on Tuesday.

[TChad]

Where can we go for info about FR when the site goes down? There used to be a Yahoo FR group, but all Yahoo groups were recently shut down.

All the addicts may rest easy now - for awhile at least.

I knew it was those damn DODO’s. Gotta get rid of those things...
