FR is never there when you really need it. It’s getting ridiculous. It does make me wonder where my donations go.
I am far from a computer expert. But there are chat room programs that hold thousands of people for instant discussion. Should FR use one of those style rooms, and only open it up for live threads or big disasters like 911? There must be a low cost way for us to communicate in real time.
I look forward to live threads but I guess I shouldn’t bother. Election night, oh how sad that will be. :( even if we win, FR will be down.
I love to track what people say and the last 2 debates I couldn’t believe how slow....
In the old days Freepers got yelled at by other Freepers for posting Twitter-type small talk.
You posted a thoughtful comment that provided new information to the thread.
A wise crack wasn’t wanted.
We were serious back in the day.
Google doesn’t have this problem but FR doesn’t have Google’s budget either :-).
Maybe some computer scientist who is close to the guts of FR could explain what the big hold up is. Modern computers don’t usually wear out; they are overwhelmed. Usually on a night like tonight there’d be a whole gaggle of articles, let alone posts. On the other hand maybe Jim wants it to be a secret lest the enemy bollix things up even worse.
