FR DNS problems...

today | self

[general_re]

DNS lookups failing for FR here - no such host. Apparently I'm not the only one, judging from a glance at the Yahoo FR board. Dunno if it's my ISP (Verizon) or what, but I had to manually edit the hosts file to get here. Presumably, if you can post, you're not having this problem, but there are more than a few people who can't post right now because of it...

I remember very little before the space shuttle Columbia's launch in 1981...

Aw, hang on, I remember the Air New Zealand disaster in Antarctica in November 1979. (Not good for an airline whose advertising tagline at the time was "Nobody Does it Better"...)

But yeah, I'm a young 'un.

(And thanks for the heads-up in post 499, Dolly... I didn't even think that was a very good photo of me! But thanks for the thought...)

HUH?

Who are you? Who is Petunia? What is Babe in the City?

I haven't looked at all the posts on this thread, it may have been adressed, but if not I will take the lead. Our "friends" over there at that other site are having a good time at our troubles. They must be laughing like jackles. Little do they know we are alive and well and posting as usual. We get the last laugh, though.

I guess the .com is still down.

I was able to find Free Republic through this thread.

Seems your tagline got broken in the process. It should say 'no.'

[GeronL]

aha! The numbers.

I'm a FReepaholic myself. Glad to meet you.

I couldn't even get to the Yahoo Free Republic board! I finally went to Liberty Post Bikers Bar and they had the new URL posted!!

[ladyinred]

LOL! It also looks like the Wooden one already did and is trying to keep it from running down his pants legs!

[Lauratealeaf]

This is the initial thread that I found when I put www.freerepublic.com/in my URL.

Warning to anyone typing in the Fr url. I misspelled it Frerepublic.com (note the dropped e) and I landed in some hell hole spam site. I'm glad I'm on a Mac as god knows what disease lurks there...

The LamePost Amen Chorus is as happy about FR problems as DU is.

Here's my IP address. Hack away: 198.81.129.100 ;-)

Hi GL, I didn't go to DU, but I always know that TLBSHOW will be 'up' on what is happening here and he always posts the URL. Otherwise I wouldn't have got here!!

Who are you? Who is Petunia? What is Babe in the City?

Who am I? Geez. Another blow to the old ego.

Petunia escaped from the Village People after the breakout from the Pool-Poopey Thread and of course Babe in the City was the sequel to Babe whom Petunia resembles when she isn't in drag singing at the SOPAC Saloon & Good Time Pirates Bar which was turned into a fern bar which gave rise to those damn viking kittens....

...shall I go on or are you sorry you asked?

[GeronL]

It seems the tiny handful of tiny-minded people at LP and FU have nothing better to do than attack FR.

[ladyinred]

It must be as I still can't use my normal process to get in here. I really don't understand all of the computereze and know that once I am off here, I won't get back on until this thing is fixed!

[GeronL]

I'm sorry I asked.

You have been around longer than me, you must be a day FReeper. Whats keepng you up?

[mylife]

Thats how i got in as well
