Free Republic will be down all night tonight for migration. Will be going down at 8:00 pm (Pacific) and should up again within about 12 hours.
Sorry, can't be helped. We received notice from our provider that they were closing their San Jose data center on May 15, 2021 and that we could move our equipment to their new center when it's ready.
We thought we'd have months to prepare, but they recently moved the deadline up to Nov 15 (tomorrow).
John scrambled and has a new home set up for us and is going to get a clean backup tonight and install it at our new location. Should be up and running by morning. Our IP address will be new, but hopefully everything else will remain the same.
Btw, the only backup site we have at this time is free republic on facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/26012226159 ) and its days are numbered. They're busily pulling many of our posts daily now and I think they're getting ready to pull our plug.
I'll past progress messages on our home page ( https://freerepublic.com/home.htm ) from time to time tonight as long as the server at our old location is up.
Then, hopefully, we'll be on the new.
Prayers up.
The weather is nice, but the climate sucks.
Welcome to FR!
I’m getting impatient. I can’t wait until it’s back up.
Right!
Last thing at night before bed; first thing in morning before breakfast!

Move the backup to MeWe. No algorithm to bury the posts.
