It DOES matter. And yes, I’ve made many donations. The reason it matters is that we are all waiting for cyber attacks that will attempt to remove this critical forum which is one of the few remaining free speech zones left. When the sh*t hits the fan, I hope to tune into Free Republic for my REAL news. Furthermore, it happened on the day of the inauguration, a day when we were all holding our breath waiting for news of some kind of attack. Many of us are putting our faith into this Forum, when it goes down, especially on a critical day, we deserve to know if it is the result of an isolated techical glitch, or an intentional attack. Get off your high horse.
From Friday morning to Sunday morning this site was DEAD to me...literally.
Without a doubt
most here were Devastated,worried and
LOST.
IF”Need to Know” is the Response....
So be it.
It means FR is Vulnerable and remains so.
Any Other sites Taken Down?
We waited 8 years for a win; then waited from Nov to Jan 20th to be able to celebrate together, here. Then on the day of inauguration, the site goes down. It was really heart breaking.
Couple hundred thousand dollars and more is raised annually in private donations, so if people who donate would like an explanation as to what happened or don’t feel they need to be attacked for asking.
