Thanks, will do, I truly did not know
i shouldn’t have said it- it was rude-
Distributed Denial of Service.
Look Grampa, I don’t want to start a feud with you.
You and a agree on a lot of stuff here.
But can you really tell me that you have had no problems with the site?
JimRob has said that these problems would be fixed. He has said that for the last two months.
Well, these problems are still not fixed.
Sorry, I’m an FR junkie - have been since 1998 - and when I can’t get my fix I get a little unstable.
Maybe I should be zotted. I could start anew on other websites.
NOT!

You should see it from our side. It’s been a hell of a dog day afternoon.
Free Republic is a jewel And a
Fine porcelain vase.
Treat it as such...Please.
Did you also tell your parents, “IF you want me to remain your child- you WILL give me everything I want... Right NOW!”?
I remember that I thought it would be a good idea to make a 'threat' like that to my parents.....
The Reply by my dad was.....
Well, we're gonna miss you boy. Go on down the road now and good luck be with you. We'll pray God to watch over you.....
Meantime your mom and I will hop in bed and make another kid......
Hopefully one that'll be more grateful than you.....
Bye Now
Sorry. I didn’t mean to be so pedantic, but I am a teacher.
Then again, I can only name Constantine, you show off! :-)
Does that explain why my comments are posted two and three times in duplicate?

This thread is the first I’ve heard about a DOS attack. Such a thing is not surprising, but the *fact* of it is news to me.
Did I miss a thread post stating an attack. Was it on the side bar, or posted on forum?
Link, please?
And, beware internet worms.
LOVE YOU BROTHER!
Whaddaya want for nothin, a rubber bisquit?
Few veterans are home with mom, or expect to get everything they want.
Thanks, Jim.
I really wish none of this was necessary.
But I’m on my end, and you’re on your end. We have different perspectives.
I just hope we can all be happy soon.
There have been recurring database issues — Jim and John have acknowledged them. I would guess that the ever-increasing load on the server has brought out problems in the way the database is constructed, and possibly limitations in the DBMS itself (MySQL? I’m not sure). Switching to a new DBMS is a major BFD so I don’t see that happening quickly, but I’ll bet it has to happen eventually.
Better performance in “off” hours can also mean the DOS attackers have gone offline for a while to avoid detection. If somebody is interested in making trouble for FR, they would do it during peak hours.
My personal philosophy is that “Patience Is A Virtue”. I’m almost always willing to wait for a page to load.
I remember the web in 1995, over a 9600 baud modem. Slow page loads? Tell me about slow page loads.
