Just got a call from John. He is up in San Jose preparing for the move. The system will probably be coming down about two hours from now and it will probably be down for a couple hours. When it comes back up we will be on our new IP address which will be: 209.157.64.200
He has set the current DNS service to expire every hour, so it should not take too long for the new address to propagate out to all the name servers.
Don't forget to bookmark our contingency site: http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/freerepublic

Hmmm... perhaps I'll go read a book in the interim period. I need to finish "the book that just wouldn't end" -- a book that I've been reading for months but can't seem to finish.
Thanks for the fair warning! I'm sure that FR will come back better than ever.
Just please remember to start a thread so I can go and whine and moan about how FR was better back in the "good ol' days" and how "FR's not the same anymore" and so on and so forth. So I, and many others (admit it) can get it out of our systems upfront. :)

I have a MAC. When will I know FR is up again?
To: Poohbah
Remember folks, everyone ping Arthur McGowan for the first 100 posts after the site comes back up!
Great idea!
To: Focault's Pendulum
If your a Mac user...write down the I.P. Address on a piece of paper....tape it to your screen then press enter.What type of tape ? Scotch, Duct, Masking or Red ?

"When will I know FR is up again?" You will have to check the Yahoo site linked at the top of this thread. Jim will make announcements there. Or, you can send me lots of cash, and I'll let you know *VBG*

Sounds like a golden opportunity to dig into the copy of "The Final Days" that I unwrapped this morning. Good luck, John!

Just posted. A bit of a reprieve.
Free Republic Posted on 12/27/01 5:08 PM Pacific by John Robinson I'm behind schedule about an hour, just finished the work I needed to complete before moving the hardware. I'll be making the voyage to UUNET now; about 30 minutes from now I'll pull the plug on the hardware, swap in a standby site, and get ready to haul Free Republic five minutes down the street to Verio. Undoubtably UUNET will have us jump through hoops, and we will. Certainly Verio will have us jump through hoops again, and we will. Optimistically, we'll be back online two hours from now. Count on three. My apologies for not having a functional stand-in site ready, as I hold told Jim earlir. It ended up being a terribly difficult task which I hadn't scheduled nearly enough time to complete.

That ain't makin' no sense to me.
