Should it still be called free?

[clamper1797]

Better to have only members see it than no one see it ... like with the debates

[cripplecreek]

Like the DUmp?

[Doogle]

We should do the same!

...we're far from being anywhere near the same, the kitty vikings will be in attendance to take care of insurgents

[ReaganÜberAlles]

I’d go along with that for the 4-5 hours or so when poll closings begin across the country.

[dps.inspect]

let the inbreeding begin...

[Responsibility2nd]

It ain’t non-members who are the problem. It ain’t the members who are the problem either.

The problem has been cussed and discussed in detail in many threads recently.

Election night? Here at Free Republic?

(insert evil insane laugh)

[1rudeboy]

I'm looking on the bright side: I won't be forced to see four threads in Breaking News titled, "CNN calls Iowa for Romney," "CBS calls Iowa for Romney," "NBC calls Iowa for Romney," and "FOX calls Iowa for Romney"

Now multiply that by the 57 states, and DC.

[real saxophonist]

I think it should be closed to anyone who misuses apostrophes and can't spell.

[Doctor 2Brains]

I WANT!!!! to see them explode in anger! What could be better than that?

[nuconvert]

I actually thought they did this already.

Does anyone know why FR has been so messed up for the past 2-3wks in the evenings (especially)?
I thought about 6 months ago everything was upgraded?

[patriotsblood]

Call me a conspiracy nut, but FR well could be one of the few places where we could get the truth. I see a Romney/Republican landslide up and down all tickets and the Marxists attempting to control all the media and pretend it didn’t happen.

[Graewoulf]

Restrict FREE Republic?

Nawwwww! Let’er rip!

We have all sorts of other electronic toys with which to communicate our opinions, including the personal enjoyment of watching the TV Liberal Agenda Media be “stunned” that the voters are voting as if the lives of our Military Service Men and Women depended upon it - - - .

[onyx]

I don’t know that FR has the capability to do that, do you?

[skeeter]

Let em come.

Win or lose we'll kick their ass.

[Admin Moderator]

It would also be adventageous to prevent the creation of new accounts on FR (starting now) until after the election to keep out the liberals who will certainly come here to explode in anger as elction results come in.

New users have their submissions reviewed by moderators prior to them being posted.

[Lazamataz]

To accomplish this, you would need to install a complete authentication layer, complete with session-id checking to prevent backdoor access.

So, let us see, we have approximately 36 hours.

Figure, 3 hours on design, 16 hours on coding, 4 hours testing, 4 hours corrections, 3 hours user acceptance testing, 3 hours implementation, 3 hours production testing.

WE HAVE *JUST* ENOUGH TIME! How's your Perl under Linux?

[OldMissileer]

I do not think it would be a good idea even though I am a monthly donor. Writing that, I think I probably will not be able to reach FR due to overload and have to get my updates elsewhere.

I really wish we could get the problems fixed. FR is most important during these times. I am quite addicted to FR and would like to see easy access, especially during these times.

[Eye of Unk]

I think FR should implement an emergency wartime footing stance, if nothing else it will be a trial runm to see if it keeps FR up and running.

Allow only a dozen or so threads al election themed, nothing else all day long, all election thtreeads will only last two hours our a set amount of replies, any multiple reply posters will immediately have to wait no less than 30 minutes before they can post again, if the continue to make duplicate posts the are zotted.

seriously this is important, we need to get serious because playing fair and nice doesn’t always win the game.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Could it technically be done?
