Is this thing on?
Missed this! Must remember to donate in the morning....
OMG!
It’s back :-)
Thanks Jim, and tell John we are all grateful!
Precious! That is sooo “ME”. ha!
Eschoir and Ash were early FReepers who were trolls. A FReeper named Don Morgan had an entire “Ash Alert” screen ready for each post by Ash.
Yes, she sent your updates. Thanks because I didn’t know what to expect.
I KNOW!! TRUMP in the White House and FR is UP!! Too many gifts!
Welcome back. We missed you more than you can know.
Here are the messages we received over the course of the days....
From Jim on Facebook:
1) FR is down hard. Still no luck on a remote restart, John says he may have to drive up to San Jose to get hands on. If so, we’ll be down for hours. I’m very sorry about this.
2) Dear friends, I’m praying we get our db server up and running soon. John has a couple hurdles to get over and then I think it’ll come together relatively quickly. But we only have one tech guy and he’s under a lot of pressure. I think he can use our prayers and moral support. And after he gets it patched up and running again, he gets to start his next project which will be a much needed systems upgrade. Sorry about the downtime. Prayers up. And prayers up for our new president and our nation. God bless.
3) Great News! Heard from John a little while ago. He has the server physically running. He’s going to backup the data and run integrity tests before putting it online, We could be up and running very soon if everything checks out, Sorry, no clues to why it crashed. Nothing unusual in the logs. It’s one of our newer servers, but this is twice that it crashed “for no reason whatsoever” so it’s now destined to be replaced. Prayers up that all checks out and maybe we’ll be up soon.
4) Woo hoo! It’s up! John says it may be slow as he’s still working on it, but wanted to bring it up. Than you all very much for your patience. God bless.
Me, too....how many times did I come to check some of the news. *sigh* TV is worthless.
YEAH!
Thank you.
Engineer Scott in the transporter room... “Welcome back Jim.”
That’s beuuuuuteeeeful!
OMGosh! Yes, I just googled Eschoir and Ash! The whole story came up for me, on Google. Thanks, Publius. What a deal that was. The thread where Jim Rob announces they are coming back on, for Freepers to be aware, and the pair will be watched. ha!
I was afraid you didn’t. I wish I had asked her sooner than I did. I kept expecting it to pop back up. LOL!
Thank you, very much! I had no idea. Wondered about a hack, naturally, or overload. But, FR had really been running slow for me, and buffering forever on everything, even on slow days. I knew something was going awry, as it was only on FR.
I really appreciate the read you sent.

Thank you, sir.
So glad to have FR back up. I kept checking Facebook pages for updates but all there was there were ugly comments by detractors.
Some of them might even be Freepers, but I doubt it.
Lots of suggestions that the site be changed. I hope it doesn’t except to stay on the air.
I donate every Freepathon and it is worth every penny.
I’d say we were all expecting/hoping it would pop back up. LOL!
It did.
