Once is an accident.
Twice is a coincidence.
Thrice is enemy action.......................
No doubt. The question is who’s pulling the strings?

It could have been; there was something on the FR page about the move deadline being suddenly changed from May 15 to November 15.
But that’s because the data center FR was in was shutting down, and everybody there had to move.
I’ve never hosted WP on WP.com. Silly idea.
The setup’s simple enough (web server + MySQL instance) so use Azure, AWS, Not Google, a myriad of web host companies, and/or run your own server.
For something like the Treehouse or here regular backups and redundant fallback hosting would be wise.
Alex Jones may be a bit woo but there really is an information war. The enemies of freedom have and will continue to attack.
The stuck pig squeals the loudest.
The Left ALWAYS tells us of whom they are most afraid of..................
My brother, an IT consultant for many years, runs a web host on a computer in his home. It’s for his business but he’d do one for me if I wanted.
I don’t see the big deal about a web hoster. The former Conservative Treehouse hoster, WordPress is a place that makes it easy for simple people to created pretty websites.
Prettiness is not important in news communication. Needed are only text and imbedded pictures and videos. Freerepublic is a perfect example.
Does the site need the ability to post comments like Freerepublic has? It’s nice but getting out the truth is most important.
I’m wondering if FreeRepublic depends on machinery found in only the hosters that are inclined to pull the plug if they disagree with the content.
Maybe not, but sites like FreeRepublic should require only the simplest of hoster. Why can’t FreeRepublic be its own hoster? Then it could host other sites and, ha ha, kick out ones that it didn’t like.
The greatest fear is that big, big, big brother, the internet overseers, wouldn’t even let you have a fixed IP address which is required to have a server. Or they could refuse to give your host a name and users would have to know the IP address to use it (that’s the Dark Web).
Someone correct me if there are inaccuracies above.
Can Free Republic be far behind?...
Let me get this straight?
If you own a bakery and and some weirdo wants a queer porno cake, you WILL make it or else .
Under penalty of law.
But at a public website you can only post what is allowed by the owner?
Did he yell fire, in a theater?
Actually, it may be so.
Our home is on fire!
It just happened to FR yesterday.
Freerepublic is a perfect example.
Drudge was a better example, just present headlines as links. Of course they lost their mind then along came thelibertydaily.com which is an absolute copy of Drudge format as is protrumpnews.com.
None of those even come close to the format of FreeRepublic.com.
Some use discus or other methods of monitoring and commenting but nothing even come close to Jim's creation. Wish he would market it, maybe to Trump or some other friendly billionaire. Jim is old like me and Rush is in bad shape someone has to take the mantle or they will all die with us.
Thanks Jim for my daily sanity boost. I have never missed a day here except when you were down, since long before I signed in to comment.
They did a yeoman’s job on the ‘Chinese missile off the coast of California’ and ‘The Martin/Zimmerman encounter’ stories.
CTH is now officially gone. No web response.
In between servers...................
they are still up, i am on right now
FR has its own servers (remember FReepathons?). Blogs like TreeFort run by Mark "Sundress" Bradman depend on "free" platforms like WordPress that obviously aren't really free and then pimp their blogs here as clickbait on our dime as I pointed out yesterday to the consternation of several folks.
Bradman can get a job, pay for a platform, and post entire articles here (and donate like everybody else).
What would be the impact on FR if those servers also hosted Conservative Treehouse?Could the market bear that - on both sides?
Mailchimp has put out a statement saying “If you’re not PC, we will end your service.” That means this is a growing trend.
