LOL. that was my first thought this morning, until I realized I'm IT. Then I coundn't remember my password for Yahoo.
Since the internet gods seemed determined to silence FR, I'm making two suggestions.
First, politely ask affiliated sites to have a back door link to FR on their home page, using the current IP address.
Second, change all the absolute links that are internal to FR to relative links, so once you get here using the IP, you can log on.
From what I understand, most of the links here are already relative. The main sticking point was the login procedure was absolute and locked to freerepublic.com, but John reworked that.
both good...may I make another?
DONATE to FR
If you fell withdrawal when you couldn't log on, tech support isn't free and backup (redundant) systems cost too. Pledge now!
