FR Status
I can not reach FR is it my problem?
DJ MacWoW:
FR is down. The Boss said that it looks like John Robinson has to take a trip to the servers.

Still down. John's on his way to San Jose to fix. Says we may have to go ahead and purchase that new database server.

Don't tell anybody. If he screws up then you won't get blamed. :-)
I'll pray that FR is up and running tomorrow. Night Boss.

End of the day now and I am getting severe withdrawal pains! LOL Nice to see you and trisham here too.

I am going to turn in early and hope tomorrow is a busy day at FR.

I will have to see what I can donate toward this big new expense...I am sure it will be ! Maybe increase the total for this quarter? Maybe increase my monthly donation? I enjoy adding the extra $ in honor of friends or maybe someone (??) who posts special posts that make me laugh or count piggies!

It was already going to be a long Freepathon. Maybe Jim will want to have a special drive or even add it to the next quarter. Getting everyone to subscribe monthly is the best solution!

Jim's description of the problem on another site seems like maybe a lot of ups and downs for the next couple of weeks. It seems to be under control, and I am sure will be better than ever when done.

Hi 3D-JOY! Withdrawal pains, huh? LOL. Welcome to the club! Not knowing the other site you're reading, I can't comment on the accuracy. John will have everything under control very soon, and a permanent solution will be finalized soon too, immediately after he determines FR's best options.

Regarding our FReepathons, you're exactly right: "Getting everyone to subscribe monthly is the best solution"! We try every quarter with our New Monthly Donor Campaigns, which have been very successful. Our Monthly Donors ROCK!

These down days might have a silver lining, in that they might help us wrap up this FReepathon before month's end, provided the old adage proves true: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

onyx: Your team have been a wonder at getting new monthy donors. I think I read 46 new ones this time. That is what gave me the idea to give out the card and to personally ask them to plan to donate what it is worth to them(?) the second month. OH!! If I could only donate what it is worth to me. Priceless!
