This is not a money issue.
We have been told time and time again that all the needles and gauges are where they should be and the site should be fine. The bottom line is all we’ve seen are loading screens.
You can attack the messenger all day long on this one. You can point and say donate more, where’s your checkbook or anything along those lines. However that doesn’t change the fact that Free Republic is in very real danger of collapsing.
No television network could survive a technical blackout of a Super Bowl it was scheduled to broadcast. No political website can survive a technical blackout of a Presidential election.
It’s just that simple.
You are no messenger, just a whiner - a dime a dozen! Get in the back of the line where you will see how 'not relevant' you are.
Since I cannot get on FREEREPUBLIC during these big events I go to FACEBOOK where I have a network of people whose opinions I enjoy just as much.. Plus I can see the posts and tweets of pundits and politicians. So you are correct, FreeRepublic will never be the same, at least to me. I do not spend nearly as much time he as I used to. I have been a member since 1998. You must keep up with the times or the times pass you by.
