Has the internet jihad against FR started?

I think I need a better translator. كلّك إنترنت ينتسب إلى نا translates to: Kalak Internet belongs to the Na

Oooh, a Scottish Fold. What a cutie. ;-D

It took me 24 Proxy Errors to read your reply.

We are best to not refer to these csuckers as Jihadis. Calling someone a jihadi in muslim land is like calling them hero. Call them subversive assholes who need to be hunted down and terminated.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Yup

[Rockitz]

I’ve gotten a couple such errors this am.

[HardStarboard]

Dittos on Proxy errors.

Had them big time around 10:00-10:30PDT.

Seem to have gone away now.....11:30PDT

[arthurus]

No problems here so far.

It's been a baaad cyber day for me so far. First, someone hacked my ebay account and used it to send this incomprehesibly illiterate spam to ebay users:

Have a good day! We just want to see the possibility of our cooperation in business by the message! The fact is that: We specialize in artistic product/jade/pearls and jewels/national furniture instruments/clothing.We can be your company's purchasing agent because we can use the source here.The space of our cooperation is huge!We should have a good talk with each other about the form of our cooperation. Please have a serious consideration and contact with me！

Syntax sounds more Asian to me than jihadist, what say you? Although, if the internet jihadists want to get their 72 raisins from cyber attacking America, what better site to mess with than eBay? Anyway, spent a half hour with eBay customer support straightening it out.

Then, one of my software programs tried to do a scheduled automatic update and hung up my computer. Called customer support, and they said their servers were overloaded...try again later. Hmmm...m'kay.

Then I log into FR and get all the proxy errors, which, thanks to JohnRob's response, we know is apparently NOT due to a DOS attack.

Maybe I should just log out and go take a shower.

LOL thanks!

Has anyone received spam emails on their FR account’s email system during this period. I got something from a Russian server for Viagra just now. NOBODY emails me from that account.

That’s what I get for using online translators, LOL!

I figured it probably wasn’t very accurate, since translators usually aren’t, but I don’t know enough Arabic to right the phrase without using one.

[G8 Diplomat]

*write

apparently, my English isn’t so good right now either...lol

[processing please hold]

It’s fixed. Hello! Hello! ;)

[processing please hold]

The mods are going to be busy cleaning up all the dupe posts for the rest of the afternoon.

And if there's any justice in the world the mod who suspended for a few hours a while back is on duty. *evil laugh*

[SIDENET]

That bears repeating!

LOL.

Maybe this slowdown at Free Republic is being engineered by Her Thighness, using her pet poodle on a short leash, aka David “I’m a liar so believe me” Brock. The hordes of bloggers on her payroll could easily organize a concerted attack. Especially now that Her Thighness bombed at the latest debate.
