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."

One poster over there, fproy2222 is so sick that the site is the only way the poor soul can dump the bitterness once displayed at FR before being banned.

I suspect he is the one behind this. A lot of the posts are in his style and he was pretty ticked about being banned.

They thought someone else was a guy who wasn’t as well.

But I’m not giving that one away.

It DOES make it funny to see their pathetic ignorance showing when they’re trying so hard to set people up.

I've told plenty of jokes over the years. I seem to recall having a bad dud before, too. Just not one with this much weird reaction.

The 'BS' is in your own fevered imagination.

Aha, I saw your comment about Netflix. Right close to the fake little j who said that homosexuals and mormons (no capital M) were the cause of FR’s problems.

We trust in Him.

Our secure server is still down, and hopefully it will be repaired come morning, so I am going to try to get some sleep, so I can be here for a BIG FReep-a-thon Day!

Ping me to the good stuff, please.

Thanks everybody! HUGS and Prayers!!!

Is there a fake little jeremiah on another site besides the backup Yahoo group, then?

I’m really getting confused...

I check the altfreerepublic site that jelibn is managing/running/moderating/ whatever.

Someone there always passes on what’s going on from the yahoo site.

Otherwise, when FR is down, I use the time to catch up on stuff around the house that I should be doing instead of FReeping......

Back atcha, onyx!!

When I’m in bed before going unconscious is one of my special prayer times. DH is snoring, it’s all dark, I usually read something very inspiring even if it’s only a few paragraphs, then I turn out the light and it’s just me and Him.

I pray especially now for Divine Providence for the whole world this year.

Now, now. Don’t get testy. We all tell jokes that fall flat.

It’s your nature not being discernable when one is posting to a group who get each other and some of our flat or lame jokes.

Btw, I did give you an out with the ??? And then you get testt.

Actually, I've been here a long time.

When I first came here, I had a different screen name. It was most likely '98, though it may have been earlier. I don't think it could have been as far back as '96, but things were different then, and it seemed more fun.

I didn't know any HTML coding in those days, and remember when, if someone didn't backslash a text command, it would persist -- and I didn't know how to turn it off.

The whole page it seemed, would be flashing at times(blink command), or posts showing up first in bold font, then tiny font, or colored text, or some joker would have left "marquee" open, so the next poster's comment would be scrolling across the page. It a a zoo for us noobs, back then.

The first time I arrived at FR, the first page I arrived at, had a picture of the debacle at Waco. It had been a few years since it had happened, but it was a staple of much conversation, then.

Where were you?
