The site is currently very slow in responding,and another american blogger Small Dead Animals is reporting upwards of 200,000 visits per day.It would seem that some of the traffic is generated by canadian government servers.Are they purposely trying to crash the site. I can't access Captain's Quarters now and was wondering if other freepers may have better luck.

Back during Lewinsky, I believe that Jim mentioned that lots of hits to FR were coming from US government (.gov) domain hosts.
They weren't trying to crash the servers -- probably just loggin in to find out how much we knew. Back then, FR's servers didn't need any outside help in crashing.

I was able to get on this morning. I think it was this morning or very late last night.

Back then, FR's servers didn't need any outside help in crashing.It was sort of like Memphis's expressway system - Upgraded for last years traffic. We were growing like MAD

They're begging for a cross-border hack war if they really did this.

Tee hee. I love the Internet. Couldn't some other people who host underutilized websites set up mirror sites, to soak up the traffic?
To: PeterFinn
Sorry I am html impaired.But I am anxious to see if the access problem is related to canadian servers or not.
To: northernlightsII
WOW! And to think, I always thought Canada was a free country. This reminds me of the USSR era, government control agencies....communism rules in Canada!

Exactly what I was thinking

Nah, our government isn't taking it down. It's just insane levels of Canadian individual traffic.
As soon as there is a publication ban, we *gotta* know what the fuss is about. In this case, government corruption with hints of mob involvement was just too much. My grandma will be checking it out soon I bet ;)
That site is going to go down due to legitimate interest - ALL of the Canadian papers (and most of the American ones) mentioned CQ today. Cache it now.

I have linked his site several times with no probs

Smalldeadanimals did mention a lot of traffic from government sources.
The google cache is not working now.
To: traderrob6
Did you link today?I was wondering if he has updated the info from the testimony of yesterday.

That's exactly how it is for us now.
If there are any generous, intrigued, connected Conservatives out there who might fund freedominion.ca , . . . . . . .

WOW! I looked at that site today and wondered (and scratched my head!) as to what the slowness was about. (I also have dial up-lol)
Freerepublic rocks - still - with knowing the skinny on EVERYTHING!
Don't be thinking Canada is FREE - Dr. Laura is banned there for her opinions about gay marriage...
