Yes. Not slow. Not down. But it keeps sending out that Service Temporarily not Available notice.

Something is up. Maintenance, overcrowding, hacker attack, whatever.

When FR seems to be having problems, I usually visit Yahoo! FreeRepublic2. (Yahoo FR 1 was kidnapped.) There is often a discussion there if the site is down, and sometimes an explanation from Jim or John.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/freerepublic2/

This seems to be a little different tonight. Refresh a few times and that can get through, but probably also overloads the site even more. And if you aren’t careful, it can produce multiple replies.

Works well for me. Unusually snappy.

I don’t know...you might want to ask for a partial refund of this month’s membership fee if it really bothers you.

Yes. Could be a denial of service attack.

Yarp. It's frustrating, all right. Haven't heard if it's a denial of service attack, some sort of bandwidth issue, or what. Maybe they're just mucking the stalls at the ol' server farm. Nothing I'll get overly-torqued about this late on a Sunday evening.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Hey, YOU try and hold the fate of the world on your server 24-7 every moment of life and see how easy it is. They do a good job IMO.

Wise ass.

Darn - I thought I’d get to post before the IBT(AYLO) post - ya’ beat me!

I’ve never used the refresh button this much in my life- but thank goodness for the refresh button!
