Access to FreeRepublic has been spotty for me for quite some time now. But tonight I saw something I haven't seen before. At 8:04 PM ET, I tried to refresh FR three times. Each time the page came up reasonably quickly, but the most recent post was from 7:34 PM. (No. I'm not "working offline"!) Now I see that there were the usual number of posts during that half hour. What's going on here? (Usually when FR fails, it fails to load for a while. I don't get anything back at all; and then I see a gap in the timestamps on the posts reflecting roughly the same outage I observed.)
Any ideas?

It is pissing me off too. Like this for quite a few days now.
I’ve had some of the same things but figured it was weather related.
I’ve seen the same things.
It’s been a mess for days at my house too.
I have been having problems as well over the past few days.
Obama says Rahm you magnificent bastard
Bandwidth is being sucked up by all of the duplicate threads and the blog pimps...
So you’ve had problems throughout the day too, huh? It’s been happening on & off for several days w/ me, & this is gettin more than a lil aggravating.
got an error 503 repeatedly for a bit. Now OK?
Yup, me too.
Any ideas?
Maybe vanity threads overloading the equipment.... who knows. Jim has addressed this issue and basically states they haven’t been able to pinpoint the problem as of yet. Doesn’t think it is a server problem.
Having issues as well. Going on a week now.
Last week there was a server that crashed?? Had to be fixed.
Time to kick some internet czar arse!
Why make an ignorant post? My problem has nothing to do with an excess of threads. I'm sometimes not seeing any threads.

It’s been happening to me for several days, either can not access the site, or once here, can not access the articles. It doesn’t seem to be my connection or IP service as I’m able to get any other site I try.
I just figure the server is crashing over and over...
I didn’t think to check the time. I’ll do that the next time, which will probably be sooner than later. Nver have understood why there are so many problems here with getting dependable servers and/or equipment.
Hey, over the weekend Freepers went down, then I went to FOX next and it was Down.
I started looking for Ammo and guns before my Wife told me to calm down it was just “Temporary” and “they” would be back online.
But Sunday it was down for at least an hour or so.
But I did find my Ammo storage box, up in the attic.
Humor. Sarcasm. We’re all having the same problem.
“Bandwidth is being sucked up by all of the duplicate threads and the blog pimps...”
Yea, and Obama is an honest man.
