This is my second time to try to reply. The first time just went to an error timed-out message. So yes, seems like the problems are already starting.
I sure hope after all the new equipment and funds raised that FR will not have major issues today/tonight. The Yahoo group is good, but not many people post there even when FR is down. So, we really need FR to stay “on the air.”
I would suggest beer.
It’s been slow like this since about 8am.
There is a yahoo FR site, but it really sucks.

If by “Free Republic” you mean the U.S. of A. then I think the “backup links” are New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, and maybe a few islands in the South Pacific.
