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.

I also made a brief visit to Free Dominion, the Canadian “sister” site. I wondered maybe if they had some posts on what happened to FR. All things considered, I’m surprised Free Dominion is allowed to exist in Canada.
Thankfully Polipundit, RedState and others were still online yesterday so I knew the 0bama goon squad hadn’t silenced all of us yet.
Thanks for posting this. I wish I had this yesterday. I was suffering serious withdrawals. I was reduced to playing word games with a bunch of animated chickens as a substitute.
That site was pretty lame, had very few posts, etc.
Glad you had that. I went to the old yahoo site.
yeah, altfreerepublic saved my sanity yesterday!
Thank you for the link!
I logged onto that guy’s site, but it got really irritating to read...fully half the page was ads!
On every thread I had to scroll down half the page to be able to start reading the posts.
I don’t mind ads, but they shouldn’t take up the entire top half of the page...I just go elsewhere when I see that.
