Glad it's not just me. I was just able to logon, too. :)

Where's my sweater?

[TomGuy]

Seems new threads are getting posted multiple times.

Noticed the same thing. I also operate an internet business and the order flow is way off. It's as if everyone went somewhere. Wonder if there's another denial of service attack, although I'm not having trouble getting out (except to FR on and off).

JR posted on another thread about DB problems and also the number of hits/sec to the site increased five-fold (probably because of the Wellstone plane crash) so that just exacerbated the problem.

It got real slow after Paul Wellstone's death was announced, then disappeared entirely. Now it up again, but gets really slow!
Driving me crazy to tell the truth! Addicts can't be without our fix!

Here's some information on the situation... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/776030/posts

Whats wrong with FreeRepublic?

Trying to strech the funding a few extra days..... The slower it runs the further the money goes.....

[strela]

I have the oddest urge to take a shower. Right now. Repeatedly.

[Txslady]

This is what I got... Note: I don't think emailing Free Republic at this time would be a good idea... I can only imagine how many they would get and could worsen the problem more.

here it what I got awhile ago:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@freerepublic.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

The odd part of that was: , and anything YOU might have done... now that seems a bit odd... then again maybe not

FWIW, I've had troubles off and on today since I heard about the Wellstone airplane crash (11:00-ish Pacific time) and a Major Stall (pun completely unintended) on refreshing threads between 17:15 and about now. I would just guess excessive traffic.

Have a great weekend.

Sunspots, you idiots! Sunspots!

[Paul Atreides]

It's back, it's back!

Withdrawal symptoms subsiding....

[montag813]

Yeah FR sucked big time today. They need to trash the Cold Fusion crap of get a new programmer.

[newsperson999]

Good back up forum here

[Txslady]

Uh oh... is it happening again? *closing my eyes* hoping it is just a small glitch...

[Liberatio]

Refresh button works for me.
