Why was Free Republic off line -- Hacker Attack?

[Racehorse]

Discussed among friends in Central Texas concerning a prayer request.

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

[1000 silverlings]

oohh, are you going to blog about us again on your site?

[BlueDragon]

I'm am not either of those two. I wouldn't recognize West's writings as his, if I saw them.

The "Randy Newman" rings a name recognition bell, but beyond that I can't connect it to anything in memory, other than some singer from the '70's & 80's?

We should both feel sorry for West if my writing is similar to his own. My own lacks polish, IMO.

*Every day Greg West hates me, is a very good day indeed. It means I am doing my job, which is getting the LDS to think about their teachings. I seriously think that guy is possessed. Either that or completely certifiable.*

bears repeating it's so good

Bravo, you get it. If Free Republic is that important to the conservative cause, it deserves to be a more reliable platform than we have seen. Ignore the haters on this one. It is more than possible to appreciate all that Jim has done with the site, while recognizing there is plenty of room for constructive criticism in this area.

[1000 silverlings]

I’m really crazy busy today and haven’t been over to that other thread where some FR names are being used.

Could someone send me a link (again)? If my name is being used I’d like to get them to stop. The other site still has some real nasty stuff being posted.

freep you and come clean?

Listen midget, I've been nothing but honest with you, and everybody else here. But it's been like casting pearls before swine. With you, at the least.

God only knows how many others will keep coming back with fear & paranoia based questioning, which I'll be forced to reply to. As it is now, I haven't even had time to thank some of the ones who could see plainly enough, that I'm not some vengeful Mormon, wannabe disruptor, who made fake postings, then employed them over here.

Good grief, haven't you ever heard of Occam's Razor??

[little jeremiah]

The fake lj or the real lj? I’m just small as in insignificant. Maybe the fake one is a midget.

[little jeremiah]

Thank you, will check now.

How do I hit abuse? Where? I assume I have to register? I would rather not register if I don’t have to.

[Natural Law]

"It’s either multiple persons using the account or a serious multiple personality disorder."

What's even more disturbing are the postings that suggest that the same person has multiple accounts. There is wholesale repetition of content, ad naseum, the same tired lies and accusations, and the seemingly coincidental of nearly identical thread histories.

[DJ MacWoW]

Put your cursor near the posting name and an abuse button should appear. I didn’t register.

[reaganaut]

you hit ‘report’ at the bottom of the article. You don’t need to register and I just used reaganaut for my name and a hotmail account I have for this nick (which i only use here) for photobucket

[1000 silverlings]

lol, I've just finished reading thru your posts for about 2 years, you mostly post to Catholics on the RF, but I saw none to Metmom or myself, which does add weight to our contention that if you have posted to us so much that Metmom should know you "well enough by now" and that "you know me" then it was under some other screen name. What screen name was it? You contend you were "quiz" but there are no postings by "quiz" that I found.

And i sure dont remember any "quiz". Maybe you channeled Quix's screen name

[1000 silverlings]

lol, he’s is married to Lily Putin

[Hot Tabasco]

Now can the computer guys here on free republic explain in laymens terms what this means?

Somebody had to go to the bathroom.......
