I get latency issues, what I don’t get is that it’s been going on for weeks.
And FR isn’t exactly stellar when it comes to communication about what’s going on....unless they’re asking for money.
my guess is database index issues ...
FReepers have not come forward financially and met the FReepathon goals, Chris and John have abandoned the daily posts for donations in Breaking News that their father used to make. In addition, they dialed the quarterly goal way, way back. It was $81,000 last quarter; It's only $60,000 now. Incidentally only $50,700 of the $81,000 goal was met as of midnight on September 30, 1986.
And as we all know, posts and replies here are slow. Very slow. Sometimes posts never get completed and we see a Time Out message. Often, very often, Freepers just keep clicking their mouse which results on 4, 5, even more duplicates posts. Is this a deliberate measure by the Robinsons? Have they scaled back on whatever tech processing servers necessary to keep Free Republic running fast and smooth as it used to.
This post from September 9 is one of many recent posts calling attention to the ongoing daily problems here at Free Republic.
