I've been around FR for awhile, much longer than my registration. Something I remember from January 2017: Free Republic couldn't be reached at all in the day or so leading up to and on Trump's first inauguration.
After the lights came back on, some on here wondered if everyone watching the site and trying to party together is what brought the place down for that day and a half.
There were many however who suggested something more nefarious. Mainly, that the outgoing administration's lackeys launched a denial of service attack on Free Republic, out of spite.
Should we put it past the Biden regime that they won't do that in the days building up to the second inauguration of Donald Trump? I for one wouldn't.
I remember that day. A bunch of us went over to Free Republic On Facebook & attached our real names to our handles, so we were able to enjoy the day.

Couple of FR Alternatives:

Calling Facebook an FR alternative is like saying going to the circus is an alternative for going to the library of congress. lol
Maybe alternatives was the wrong word. These are sites you can go to if FR is down. John Robinson posts there with updates on getting FR back up.
I thought they took away FR Facebook page. When did they open it back up?
Laz is on MeWe and some other FReeper runs an FR page there.

There are enough trolls on here to disrupt threads and have them pulled....
Calling on the director of the FR Central Intelligence Agency.
OK, just kidding. Maybe John can get a direct line to John Radcliffe.
