What The Hell Is Wrong With Free Republic!?!?!?
Vanity | 11/05/2012 | Cww

Posted on 11/04/2012 7:10:42 PM PST by CWW

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!!

Too bad the paying members can't at least have a separate server. At least we might have a better chance to follow the news than the lurkers. (no offense to the Lurkers)Perhaps those that are logged as paying members should have a higher priority than those that just drop by. This could also help to stop Denial of service attacks if they couldn't attack the dedicated servers without having legitimate user names and passwords. Just a thought.

To speed things up...

--->Allow only 1 post per day by any poster unless he/she is a donor to FR.

--->In this most important political season, why are so many irrelevant posts allowed?

--->Delete older than 1 year stuff on server...it is just clutter in today's fast moving cyber world. Not many care who said what long time ago.

--->Limit new sign ups. Too many trolls sign up during election periods.

I’ve noticed a slight forum lag lately but no more than a few seconds to log on or load a page and this is with a marginal speed Verizon DSL modem.

I use Firefox, latest version, but am posting this on WiFi with an iPad and still really no issues.

Wish I could help more.

It has been terrible since the debates and seems to be getting worse as time goes on. I’m not a technical person, so I have no idea what is going wrong. Could we be under attack by the Left?

I’ll be here at the LSU football tigers board. It’s great for live football games but there is a political board too and it would also be great for a live election thread:

Firefox stutters along but it delivers - IE 9 acts very strange. The wheel on the browser goes round & round, I hit stop, refresh the page and then *bang* it loads instantly.

If this is a co-ordinated DDoS attack, then it’s been a sustained effort for five weeks.

I don’t have enough tinfoil to think that the Leftists are maintaining a weeks-long cyber-assault.

Slow, and I am on crazy fast cable internet in Texas.

Won’t even load some pages.

Frankly, I don’t see why we can’t just do ads like every other site and have supplemental donations to cover any other costs. The site’s design has not changed since at least when I joined in 2000. We still have to code HTML in to post anything extra.

I would think ads might help with upgrades.

Well you gotta understand. It gets tired after all day long, pinging and replying, searching and posting.

I don't notice it much, 'cause at this time of night I read a lot slower anyway.

It's definitely not my connection:

Not mine, either. There isn't another site I visit that is anywhere near as slow as FR. And that's all the time - not just during elections, although during elections or during important debates, it's understandably slower.

.... sigh ....

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

Talk is cheap, give us a link to just one that has been banned.
