Is Free Republic under attack? (Updates at #72 and #80)
Rolf

Posted on 02/01/2010 5:56:30 AM PST by ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY

If this issue has already been addressed; my apology. I did a search for the subject, but found nothing.

Is anyone else having problems accessing Free Republic lately? Ever since the SOTU address, it's been almost impossible to access the site. Usually, I just get sent back to my orginal website instantly. At other times, after a several minute delay, I'll get a "connection could not be made/server proxy error; site down for maintenance or heavy traffic.

I don't think it's a problem with my computer because I can get to any other site in a snap.

The SCOTUS must have been amazed with the Solicitor-General on the censorship issue because they asked a lot of questions about it. Yes, even Kindle downloads would have been illegal if it advocated against a candidate, the S-G had argued, it was “broadcasting” since its a wireless download.

You can bet talk radio and message boards would have been targeted.

Jim Rob saying it may be server overload - but they are working to find out what is going on.

FR goes through these times periodically.

Jim and John do a fantastic job - especially given all the attacks that we/they have pulled FR through - time and time again.

This one will be no different.

Obamao and Soros etc would love to bring us down - but, sorree Charlie......this voice of the Revolution is going nowhere but forward....

Have patience and faith everyone - and pray - and contact JR if you have potential solution.

That really is scary. Thank goodness there are those on SCOTUS that could see were this was going.

Thanks for the info.

This is the second time I am trying to write this. The first one just disappeared when I clicked the Preview button!

I’ve been a member for over 4 years, and I’ve never seen anything like this. I’m no internet genius, but methinks y’all ought to have some cybersecurity folks look at what’s going on.

I don’t think it’s just because we have a lot of members!

It is, A. A secret, and B. Just a coincidence.

( I do want you to know that I am reimbursed to encourage Freepers to speak/write openly. If you would like to Amway into this Homeland Security program, email me and I tell you the details. I’ve just started, so I’m just a ‘Valued Homeland Security Member’ but I figure by February, I’ll point up into the introductory Steak Knives kit. Pretty nice, fake stag bone handles, dishwasher safe.)
