JimRob and JohnRob, thank you SO much for getting FR running again. I was jonesin’ big time!
Is there any legal action you can take against the scumbag(s) who attacked us?
Nice site! Of course it will NEVER replace JimRob’s excellent work on FR, but good to have a substitute place when FR goes down (which is very seldom). While it was down I was praying for Jim, and wondering if this is what it would be like should the 0bamessiah get his way.
Man, don't I know it!
That Yahoo group is the absolute pits, but it did come in handy as a meeting place of last resort today. I found out about altFreeRepublic.com there today, and headed straight over.
Seems like the speed is back up to normal around here too. It took me something like 10 tries to get my first post to go through tonight. Once I got it to take, I bailed off the site to free up some bandwidth. That hurt! LOL
Thank you for your heroic efforts in getting Free Republic back up and running. In these relatively few hours with no Free Republic I realized how cut off from real news I would be without FR. (Especially now that I don’t watch the TV news or read the paper anymore - not that that was “real” news though).
But - it made be pause to think that one day, if we are not careful, not vigilant, and not motivated - it could happen for years during the coming Dark Years (TM). Fairness will trump Liberty. Fiscal Equality will override the Pursuit of Happiness. And Freedom of Choice will stomp out Life.
But for now - thank you Jim and John and all the others that keep this site running.
Scared that Obama had already shut us down without getting all my FRiends numbers and addy’s prior to Obamination:(
What's "the bunker" site? I didn't find that one today. I did register and post at altFreeRepublic.com, but that's the only one I found today.
URL?
LOL!
You've got to get the locations of some of the alternate emergency sites in case this ever happens again.
Thank God it’s back up. I was going through vanity withdrawal.
Yes — thanks! I see it was out from around 4 Saturday morning to about 10 Saturday night. JIM ROBINSON & CREW ARE CLASSIC, AUTHENTIC AMERICAN HEROES!!! One good thing to have come out of this: all the back-up links found on this thread!

This was a great backup site yesterday for me.
I was having a terrible time dealing with idiots
since Wednesday morning, and have been busier than
hell all week. I’ve saved the above addy and will
check in on it as often as possible.
The Yahoo FR2 board was attacked by some real idiots
and I just wasn’t ready to do combat with that..
thanks to Jalibn for putting up the altFreeRepublic site.
Thanks for the alternate site, and what ever work
you did to make it happen.
TPD
Many thanks to Jim and John ~
I feared FR was done and gone,
hacked, hijacked and stomped upon
by YouKnowWho’s relentless con.
I had NO idea how much I’d miss this site. By the way, where are the alternate sites?

jelibn created the one above, did a great job!!
There’s one in Yahoo Groups, but the one above is better.
Thank you soooo much! I’ve got it bookmarked. ;-)
I was sure you'd moved to Galt's Gulch and I was so bummed that I'd been left on the outside. Almost like the Rapture had happened and I was still here. Whew! So glad you're back!
Glad to see things running again.
Can you give a report on the nature of the problem. It would be nice to know these things.
Thanks...
Our many thanks to you and John for getting the site
back up and running, and quite fast too.
I am afraid as the opposition is more emboldend by their
victory we may see more tricks in the future, it’s the
nature of socialism.
tet.
I think it is long overdue that some criminal prosecutions take place for these attacks.
Well, thanks, but Jelibn put it together. I just promoted it over at the Yahoo joint.
I'm also glad that we had someplace to meet up. I've got it bookmarked for future reference.
