We were experiencing a database issue today that effectively froze the site content. It has been defrosted.
We've experienced numerous technical issues this past month. In an effort to handle increasing traffic, we've made upgrades to our internal structure that have rendered the site far more brittle than it ever was, coupled with general growing pains, coincidental hardware failures and a little foul play (at least one nasty denial of service attack) has seen the site down far too many hours this month. It's been frustrating for everybody involved and I apologize.
Thanks for the hard work John.
Bless you for your work - no apologies needed. Thank you...
$hit happens...
John, Thanks for your efforts. I understand the difficulties of keeping a site like this operational 24/7. Most of, thanks for keeping us posted of what is going on.
Thank you for the update.
In my opinion there is no need to apologize.
FreeRepublic is one of my few lifelines. I use it everyday.
Thank you for it.
Well let me be one of the first to say, Thanks for keeping the system up. The down time is sometimes frustrating to FR junkies, but at least I understand.
[Mr] T
Glad all is well.....Had some agida there for a while without my Freep.
Just don't let it happen again. ;-)
Thank you, John! No apologies necessary.
We forgive you, as always. Thanks!!
Thank you for not only keeping us apprised of what’s going on, but for keeping this site running! I don’t know what I’d do without my daily dose of FR and my like-minded friends here. Thank you!!
Last weekend some thought you'd all been hauled off to a Rex 84 Detention Center by the Obama Civil Security Force!
BBrittle? What does that mean? Have you considered getting someone to take a look at what you’re doing?
This site lost a lot in performance when the tabs and feeds were added. It used to be a lot better, imo.
Thanks for all you do.
You’re apologizing because you’ve helped give us the world’s greatest conservative forum and it’s not perfect?
LOL, thanks for all your efforts.
I know how it is. Believe me.
Thanks for all your work, and thanks for the information about what’s going on.
For a while there I thought Time itself had stopped, which would’ve really been a drag, since I’m not off work yet. Whew.
