Yup, looks like it's down. Have left messages for John. Hope he checks in soon.
Dang! Sorry, Jim. Is it another mid-FReepathon denial of service attack? I thought that they only did them on Sundays. [wry smile] I guess we should be getting used to them by now. Sigh... 'Rats... They're rats.
I was trying to post a graphic of the Whiner in Chief and thought that FR objected. LOL
I'm so glad to see some posts about this. I've been trying to get back on to FR with no success at all.
This is the first place that I thought of. lol
Rather odd non-standard error message too.
WTF is this?

Internal server error here.
Oops I mean on FR
I keep getting "the server is not responding" as an error message, although I did once get a "505" error message, IIRC.
BBL-I may take a nap.
Okay Trish.
I still can't get in to FR, but I am getting in to a heading for the index page. Unfortunately, it's a blank page. Is anyone having better luck than I am?
Haven't gotten that far.
I checked FR's facebook page. No recent updates.
http://www.freerepublic.com/home.htm
I noticed the home page is back up, but the forum is still down.
That's kind of odd, ain't it?
Well, the server is up so the static web pages like the home page work. The forum depends on the database and looks like it's down. Still no word from John.
It is definitely aliens.
I'm bored. lol Guess I'll watch a Magnum ep on youtube.
I'm going to go in the other room and sit in front of the fire. Yell for me if anything happens. :)
Just received a message from John. Not good. He may have to drive up to San Jose to get hands on. May be down awhile if this is so.
Well that ain't particularly encouraging.
Here's hoping it's a relatively easy fix.
Dang Boss! And when we come back up half of the posters will spend days asking "What happened?" lol
Well, I think we're all interested in what happened. There will be all sorts of rumors flying among those of us who have each others email addresses. There are plenty of paranoid conspiracy theorists with more theories than you could count. The people who go through withdrawals when FR is down will be suffering TEOTWAWKI. One thread by Jim in News should take care of it.
That is, assuming of course, that the Russians and Chinese leave hold of our Internet and their evil plans to obliterate Free Republic and FReepers everywhere!!! </tin foil hat>
It's almost 11:00 AM. I'm going to do some work and check back later. See you then!
Sorry, everyone. Received a message from John a couple hours ago.. He got nowhere last night and had to come home. Said he'd go back later today. He didn't elaborate and I haven't heard back from him since.
Hi Lady!
Everyone wants to know what happened but the Boss usually posts info. After an outage I check on his "Comments" page on FR and usually find what I'm looking for. Without 10 threads. LOL
Limbaugh hasn't mentioned the outage today.
He's obviously been corrupted.
Guess his researchers actually had to work today.
I bought more of Rush's Diet Blueberry Tea today. He finally coughed up a decent coupon and free shipping to his loyal members, that made his price too attractive to pass up. Lipton is stupid to not offer a Blueberry Iced Tea.
Mr. T loves Rush's Diet Blueberry Tea. I should order some. I love it, too.
trisham have you tried the peach...that is my favorite.
