Long day yesterday withour FR.
I was, too. I thought The Dictator had ordered FR shut down.
Also I heard Jim was ill...is he ok?
Yes it went down for most of the day but you could have just sent an email to the the admin moderator posing this question instead of posting a vanity thread.
‘RATS chewing on the server wires, perhaps?
Not quite sure what the problem was, but I’m glad its up and running today.
Although I couldn’t get on via beta address
I was worried that the Fairness doctrine was being tried on the internet. Also, ignore the anti vanity pinheads, I AM GLAD YOU POSTED THIS....BUMP de bump bump
From what I gather the ISP itself went into some sort of identity crisis and brainlock. I picked up some snippets that cannot be confirmed that the whois server or ISP might have been the victim of an attack virus, a basic but effective one.
Bookmark this in case FR goes down again, its the alt site.

All our accounts were hacked and we can soon be expecting Obama goons knocking on our front door, offering to take us for a “ride”. I wonder where they will set up the re education camps? I hope its tropical!
I thought it was an excellent question—I was wondering too.
Me, too.
There is a yahoo group you can check for a fix when freerepublic.com goes down.

The good news is that it seems to be running a LOT faster now.
I just posted the same question a half hour ago, but it didn;t get posted, so I didn’t try again. I was able to get onto FR in the morning , I think, but it was completely inaccessible from early afternoon till after midnight. I kept getting the hourglass, followed by THIS PAGE CAN NOT BE DISPLAYED error message.EVERYTHING else worked, just not FR>
This is a legit vanity. I would be curious to know what happened myself. Saying “absolutely, positively NO VANITY POSTS!” just doesn’t feel right. If we don’t like vanities we don’t have to read or respond to them.
I got into the leftist infighting,
blame game following the defeat of Cali Prop 8.
The hate is turning on itself,
it is fun to watch.
Glad FR is back up.
When you have a moment, could you please come on this thread and let us know what happened to cause all the down time yesterday?
Many FReepers are here asking each other, but no one is asking YOU!
Yes, a truly apt vanity. I’m glad you posted it as well. I had some serious shakes yesterday when I couldn’t access FR. Then there was nothing at the backup site either.
