What The Hell Is Wrong With Free Republic!?!?!?

This site has been a frustrating disaster for the last week. What the he'll is going on? I can't get the page to load but 1 of 4 attempts. I'm about to give up, and I've been a member since 1998.

Please tell me this will be fixed before Tuesday!!

I certainly understand your frustration. The times I have been unable to log on to FR have been equally upsetting. I don’t know, but it might very well be something with your computer causing the problem. You never know. There are myriad of things that can prevent your computer from running at optimum level.

Indeed. The Suckage Factor is HIGH tonight.

I don’t mean to be cynical, but we live in cynical times.

The slowdowns seem to coincide with the quarterly freepathons.

Same here. I guess the switchboard is short of wires or operators.

Jim will ban you if you complain too much about how FR runs.

Keep the fundraiser going! I guess it takes lots of electricity to keep those antique servers running.

Well, you made somebody mad. I timed out on my first attempt to post this. And I timed out twice trying since I typed the post. Sunday night must be a busy period.

You can use gopbriefingroom.com for a backup.

Same here. Loading a page takes forever, if at all. Often get ERROR page, cannot connect to FR.

I have Reconfigured the Sidebar as requested by Jim, but no help, in fact it is even seems slower, especially today.

I often have to pull the thread off to Desktop, and open from there, sometimes that is quicker.

FR is going to be totally useless all day Tuesday.

“The Server at Freerepublic.com is taking too long to respond.”

Maybe it just needs more cash. /s

Back off the coffee it may help. (Or not)

I am in Az. Took five minutes for the posting screen to come up. Have no idea if anyone will ever see this. All other sites are very fast

I am bummed. It's been my escape since 2000. I think it must be a Commie-Progressive-Muslim cyber attack.

I’ve had big problems here in E. Texas for several days now. Very frustrating.

[cripplecreek]

I’m hoping the economy will pick up so we can get the FReepathons done in a week and JimRob do what he needs to do to get us going at ludacris speed..

[basil]

Looks like I’m just living right—LOL!

I’m heading off now, so will give another person room to get on....... (ain’t that how it works?)
