Why was Free Republic off line -- Hacker Attack?

Posted on 01/05/2011 8:11:05 PM PST by Racehorse

Discussed among friends in Central Texas concerning a prayer request.

Attempts to post to FreeRepublic failed, "server not found."

altfreerepublic doesn’t require the personal information that yahoo wanted.

IIRC, yahoo wanted your birthdate or some such personal information that could compromise your anonymity if someone hacked their database.

Anyone armed with your birthdate can cause problems with identity theft.

Beyond disgusting and filled with lies using screen names of members here who have never posted at that feeble, idiot site, including mine.

I didn’t post a link. I was referring to the one that Blue Dragon posted in post 99.

In the comments section of that article is a comment allegedly posted by you.

Just like I allegedly posted one.

I spotted a similar name, but I also spotted mine. Idiot pretending to be me...I never supported pro-abortion Guiliani. I was for Fred Thompson.

Yeah. It was real funny, wasn’t it?

Just a joke, I’ve been told.

????

Actually, I thought you knew me better than that by now.

I honestly thought you might laugh at the reference to that made-up posting. I had thought you may have even made that posting yourself, as a mockery to THEM.

The FR server or servers did go down, or something, right? Don't you get it?

I was mocking them "over there" at the bitter and banned blog pimp page, or so was the intent.

Relax. I'm not part of some conspiracy.

Yes, they were. Go just more than 3/4’s the way down the page. It was posted 1 day ago.

I am perplexed as to why I was listed. I am not on Mormon threads or on the homosexual-watch ping list....

Oh, I see. It was in the comment of his that I copied and pasted.

I try not to use HTML when I want to post active links. That way they show up and are clickable. I missed it since it just blended in. It’s pretty late here and I’s shot. Not thinking very clearly.

Yes, that link was from his post.

My fear is that someone else will post as me but fail to be as much of an arrogant, know-it-all jerk as I am and then everyone else will think I'm losing it or something.

Folks, please, accept no imitations!

"My" link? I got it off a FreeRepublic thread, for crying out loud. A FR thread about the pathetic whiner who was banned for over-promoting his own opinion blog.

...if I posted a link to DU, would that make me one with them?

I’ve been gone all day and just got back on FR just before it came back up again.

And the post that bears my screen name was dated as being posted two days ago.

So, no, it doesn’t come across as a joke.

And honestly, I don’t recall much of any interaction with you. FR has thousands of people posting on it and unless I run into someone frequently or memorably, I don’t tend to recall the screen name of everyone I post to.

I’m not likely to forget yours anymore, however.

I’ve seen people get banned when posting of their from other anti-FR sites have been exposed. Pointing that out and pinging JR to it did not bear the hallmarks of being funny. It bore the hallmarks of a set up to try to get me banned.

That's why you sent it to Jim?

Actually, I thought you knew me better than that by now. .....I had thought you may have even made that posting yourself, as a mockery to THEM.

You expect mm to know you better; but, yet, you thought it was her who posted that crap? Seems like it's you who doesn't know her.

Huh? What's the problem? You didn't care for the (obviously failed) joke. All right.

I'm taking responsibility for that. But some of this other weird conspiracy stuff has me scratching my head.

You seemed to be buying into it, or something.

I really don't have an idea of what your talking about. Could you be more specific?
