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."

Ok, I’m a tomboy, but MrR would have serious issues if I were a guy.

I do remember you! I am not the other, evil lj.

I was wondering which one I was though, for a while.

Had to go look in the mirror. Didn’t help clear up the confusion, though.

And just for the record, I think the Book of Mormon is entirely made up out of whole cloth and the whole shebang is crazy! I wish they’d just keep it to themselves...

Good night! And I hope your old lady is well.

Around the time you came to FR I was building an ISP, basically a pipeline business. I didn’t care about hosting so sites with content were irrelevant to me.

I don’t recall when I became aware of FR or when I joined.

She is doing great! We just spent 8 days in Las Vegas. Went to shows every night and she had a blast.

She is now 100yrs and 6 mnths. Blood pressure is great.

She would kick the Energizer Bunny’s azz.

Awesome to hear! Give her a hug from me (just don’t tell her I’m an exmo!).

I hope I have her energy when I’m 80! (if I even live that long.)

I just skimmed thru that junk over there again a while ago, being prompted to by some of the comments here

There was one guy going on about "costs". I seem to remember a guy like that. He started out here real twitchy-like, then got the zot. It sounds a lot like the same guy, in content at least, if not also in form.

That "fproy2222" is pretty bitter, but from the poor form of the writing itself, I wouldn't think that he was the one making the fake posts. Unless the ones with his own handle were deliberately crafted in such mishmash style, to give cover for the "phony". Personally, I think the 2222 guy is a different poster than the one who faked several freepers, but I could be wrong.

Another freeper, other than hg, posted there, who seemed like (judging from content & context) was using the same handle as he does here. I'll not name him, since I'd just a soon not ping and drag one unnecessarily, into needing to sort out a convoluted mess, when it really doesn't matter all that much, in the big scheme of things.

But I do thank you for your comments. They sort of got lost from my eye for a while there, in all the other shuffle.

I had my own run-ins a while back with one blog spammer, by the name of "freedomyes".

It went on for bit. The dang critter would never fess up who he was, or why he kept posting and re-posting any and all web-published writings of "J.Grant Swank". Eventually, he got the zot.

I've never figured out if "freedomyes" was a fan of this blogger, was doing it because he thought what this writer had to say was important, was paid to list the stuff, was a relative of, or even was the writer himself. Total stonewall --or insults, pretty much sums up what I got as a reply. Don't 'ya just love it when that happens?

I went to this site and then backed off getting involved because not sure it was an FRiendly one!

Altfreerepublic is a place to hang out and chat with fellow FReepers while FR is down.

My one unbending rule at altfreerepublic is, if you are there to bash Free Republic, you're not welcome. I will give one warning and then it's adios if you continue. (That's a generic "you" ... not aimed at you personally. :) )

It is kind of ironic this happened the day the Republicans took back control of the House.

Well, like Lucifer, Pelosi knows her time is running out! LOL.

That’s all she wrote!
