I thought the beta was dead.

What happened to the Yahoo message board?

I suggested on another thread that John Rob put a cookie on each user. A simple cookie that notes if you are a donor to Free Republic. DUers, newbies, snoops or Freeploaders would not have this computer.

Then during times of over load, the server bounces off the the Freeploaders and then keeps them from logging on in the first place.

I was told by another Freeper that we can't do this. I hear this is what financial sites do. If you are a customer, you can get on and stay during heavy hit time. If not you are off and can't get back on.

Apparently earlier this week, some unfriendlies tried to crash the net. I have a financial service that uses a direct connect modem, and I wanted to go to their system via the internet. The guy that I talked to said that with the close call the internet had earlier this week, he would recommend not making the change at this time.

Last but not least on another conservative site that went belly up a few years ago, thousands of the infected ones from DU would log on this conservative site and stay on all day. Making a few posts and stuff to stay on. This just killed that site. It would take forever to log on and longer to post a reply or a thread.

I'm sure with the knowledge of the Nation of Islam sniper and the death of the senator, a lot of infected maggots are on FR to see just what we are posting on those two subjects.

The Yahoo group is still there. I just got a bunch of group email from it
