We don’t need a “special prosecutor” to investigate this outage.
Tell John not to sweat the mobile-phone problems that he detected: FR is working well on my Android, even better than before the crash.
Thank you Jim and John!
Thanks, Jim.
Thought I was going to die!
iPad here. No problems thus far.
It’s good to be back! Thank you for all of your dedicated work! Over the last few days, I think we all got a glimpse of what real hell is like. I missed my FReeper FRiends, warts and all!
One question, Jim, if you don’t mind my asking. In the event that, God forbid, something terrible happens to you or John, is there a contingency plan for FR? Is FB all there is, or is there a game plan in mind for continuing FR should the unthinkable happen?
May God richly bless you and yours!
I am on my Note 5 Android and the site is working great. Thank You guys for your hard work.
Now, as the dust settles, can we have a sober discussion on current server practices--redundancy, rollovers, and NOT local to drive to 3+ hours away, and going to Frys or somewhere for parts. Not to be critical but that is fine for your home computer but not a Web site, especially one with the high visibility of Free Republic. The funds that many of us contribute easily pay for this. Heck, my company pays less than $2,500 A YEAR and have redundancy, rollover, and never downtime more than moments.
Jim, you know my business. Happy to connect you with like minded network folks that can get this done. Message or email me.
Thank you all so much for work so hard to get FR back up and runnng. Feels good to be “home”.
Thank you....I couldn’t take much more. LOL.
Good to see FR back up. BTTT.
Thank you!
Seems to be working fine on the iPhone. Thank you so much for all the time and effort that you guys put into this forum.
Just a suggestion though...why not host FreeRepublic in the Cloud? Physical servers (and all the headaches they bring you and John) are so...90s.
You could coin a new acronym!
CaaS...."Conservatism as a Service".
our thanks are to you!
Looking pretty good from this end.
Hope I don’t break anything... :-0
Thank you.
Jim, I suggest you put Free Republic on a true web hosting service. Let the web hosting service deal with bandwidth and hardware issues, not you.
Thanks for working so hard to get the site back. I really missed it.
Good job, Finally up.
Fox News is gone. Tucker is not making it. The View is a waste of time. Hannity is on too late for me. I refuse anything of MSM “news” or “entertainment” programming. Sorry to be so negative, but when FR went down I’ve been dangling. WELCOME BACK FR.
