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."

Wow - cults on crack. There are several bogus comments attributed to JR. Here is one of them:

_______________________________________________________________________________"Jim Robinson 2 days ago Report Abuse .Har har Mormons ! Say what you will, but how many of you out there have wrinkled old ladies from coast to coast sending you their social security checks every month like I do ? And all I have to do is let them complain and moan all day long about the "good old days" and make some pretenses that I'm all holy and conservative. Those old ninnies swallow my garbage whole ! Ha ha Ah, life is good for a dirty old scammer like me !"

It goes down when something good happens for conservatives or Republicans.

In plain English, FR lost its connection to the Internet for several hours.

Problem has been traced to an AMAZING amount of dead birds, feet still clinging to the phone lines!

From what I understand, the turbo encabulator is getting a bit old and the prefamulated amulite casing is a little warped, which occasionally causes friction against the panametric fram. This causes it to slow down below the critical speed and it can no longer synchronize with the cardinal grahmmeter.

That happened to my wifes mini-van once. After the technician replaced the blinker fluid, it ran fine.

It will be interesting to see how long this one is left up there:

Snarklenort III:

What a pile of stinking falsehoods and abuse of honorable FREEPER names.

NOT surprising . . . LDS folks have been altering history; ramming falsehoods down others throats at the point of a gun or social coercion; lying about themselves and others; etc. etc. etc. from the founders on.

Former LDS folks don’t NEED to distort reality AT ALL, on FR or anywhere else.

There’s enough horror stories in LDS founding documents and accurate history to reveal plenty about the demonic origins of the LDS cult. Actually, it would take some work to concoct lies worse than the truth about Mormonism. We don’t need to bother.

THE TRUTH WORKS FINE.

John couldn’t find any problem with the hardware or software so he restarted everything.

I hope it wasn't MY request for FreepMail reply number backtracking!

FR needs to have some type of method to commuincate to its members when it’s off-line.

But it DOES!!!

It sends out this message:

www.freerepublic.com is not set up to establish a connection on port “world wide web service (HTTP)” with this computer...

Sometimes I miss those old times . . .

However, one needed a hazmat suit almost just to talk about the weather on FR. LOL.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, everybody here knows you by your character displayed here, I’ve always believed it to be beyond reproach and still do.

It’s sad that someone was taken in by a poser and believed it was really you and/or now saying it was a joke reply on his part, not funny, if so.

If it’s any comfort, I didn’t even bother to click the link to see what you “supposedly said”.

I’m registered at that conservative Canadian site but have never commented there and not even sure that I registered with the same screen name as I did here.

I am also registered on the “Baptist Board” as Graybeard58 and have made a few,(very few) comments there, anybody is free to check them out if they want to bother:

http://www.baptistboard.com/

There is nothing to stop anyone from using your F.R. screen name anywhere they want to, just depend on members here to know the real you.

I had the same problem. It does this every once in awhile. I know in the past it’s been the server. There is an alternate site. Just to a search for freerepublic alternative sites and you’ll get a list of them.
