It looks like FreeRepublic may soon be going down for a while.

It looks like somebody might have hacked the site and is spamming from accounts.

At least that's what it looks like to me.

Either that or just some accounts with easy passwords are compromised. Either way the admins have some work on their hands.

If somebody hacked the site, how will strong passwords help?

Does FR store passwords in plain text or encrypted ?

Some little leftist geek didn’t get laid tonight (again) and is now taking his aggression out on his basement computer.
Maybe we should send him a link to pornhub?

I’ve seen “BeauBo” post regular items recently. So I imagine their account is compromised with an easy password.

I expect to soon be rapid-fire posting about people doing anatomically impossible things to themselves or each other.

I would have to agree; FR will soon be going down until the miserable vermin that compromised us is expelled.

I’ve never seen anything like this before...
Hope you can fix it.
Good Luck and God Bless!
