The thread participation certainly has gone down over the years.

But that's true across all of Free Republic.

The political purges, the heated primaries, and the slooooooooooowwwwww servers have not helped.

FR crashed during the recent SC decision on healthcare. Will FR hold up during the two conventions? election night?

I haven't read any updates on the status of server upgrades. But it is frustrating to try to follow live news events and FR posting takes 5 minutes or returns 404 Site Not Found errors.

It certainly is annoying if you need to be here and have no site you prefer to FR. Then again, pestiferous advertisements would be much more annoying!

Washerwoman is trying to tell everyone is doing well in the Obama meltdown. Detroit is the crown jewel of his economy and America needs to look more like that.

Romney is evil who will drag us back to Bush’s 4% unemployment.

Pray for America
