I don’t know if it’s an alternative IP but a great poster on the Yahoo Group gave us this...
http://beta.freerepublic.com/tag/news-forum/index
I can always get in.
Thanks, guys!

Bookmark the direct IP addresses if the DNS listing gets hacked.
Oh yeah! That alternative is a keeper...thanks.
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.
booked marked it and sent it to my email. Worked fine. Thanks
