Personally, since no one including Jim seems to know, I am voting that the cause is an organized sabotage plan by either DU or the DNC in general. If 50,000 e-mails are sent to Rat volunteers telling them to lurk on FR as often as possible, I think that would pretty much do it.

I am not a computer expert, but when stuff like this happens couldn't we go to an "only registered users" plan?

I would hope that Jim and John could see what the hit rate was, and know if it was excessive. If someone is lurking, but not posting, us innocent end users won't know. But the wizards ought to know.

If that happened, then I can imagine that them brainstorming ways to throttle it. However, wouldn't "registered users only" tend to (1) chase away future freepers, while (2) forcing intentional disrupters to register, further overloading Jim, John and the servers?

I am no expert either, but I do know that this site, Free Republic, represents a tremendous problem for the Democrat Party. We know that those scumbags have no shame, honor, or decency - - duplicity, deceit, and sleaze is in their makeup. It is what they are.

These animals will be utterly ruthless in doing anything - - anything - - to advance their selfish agenda of personal political power. This means destroying anybody or anything that gets in their way. (Look at what Scumbag and his mob did to anybody who criticized him or his administration.) Free Republic is a font of raw truth and a continual disseminator of news from myriad worldwide sources. The truth simply cannot hide, and there is no Democrat lie that will not be exposed here on Free Republic.

It is my opinion that some sophisticated scumbag Democrat operatives are behind Free Republic's "technical difficulties". It is a problem that will continue forever. And I believe that it could easily be one guy with a computer. I doubt that the current problems are the result of a whole bunch of Democrat scumbags lurking or logging on or whatever. I also don't believe that the tiny circle-jerking clack over at Scumbag Underground has anything to do with anything. They are barely coherent from what I understand.
