FR ALWAYS turns to crappolla during the Beg-a-thons, in porder to get more $$ coming in to “fix it”...I have seen this phenomenon for a MINIMUM of the past 8 Beg-a-thons!! Get used to it...it is “routine”
I don’t buy it.
Free Republic is more often in a Freep-a-thon than not. That means the site would be hosed up more often.
When the site is acting good, it is very, very good. And that is the norm.
Considering all we ask it to do, it is amazing. That things go a little haywire from time to time is not totally unexpected.
Plus, like most conspiracy theories, the fallacy is that you can’t keep a secret a secret for long, and I don’t think it would be that obvious.
