A few days ago when the main FR site was down the beta site was posted on the FR Yahoo Group site. Within an hour, after many FReepers got on the beta site and the main site began to come back to life, the beta site was nearly as slow as the main site.
The reason it is not bogged down when some people try it is because there isn’t usually much traffic on it.
It’s not a solution, mom.

I didn’t find that at all. The Beta was snappy. I couldn’t get in on the main site ALL day.
And like I said, this is a back up. Just like the Yahoo group or Free Dominion. Not meant to be a solution.
