Has the Free Republic shut/melted down??

[adigal]

I go there once in a while to get my blood pressure up, or to laugh at all of the Romney haters and I cannot get on. I tried going there by typing the address and also through the google search, and it's a no go. Did I miss them shutting down??? Melting down under the heat of their own hatred?? Thanks,

1. Did you try searching "right wing hate groups"?

[adigal]

3. LOL!!! No, I tried free republic, the link came up, but it leads nowhere

Kind of like Republican thinking.

7. They suffer periodic temporary outages

Until they go in, remove the dead hamster, and put in the new one.

6. I heard RimJob didn't get the 100 grand from the quarterly fundraiser

that he needs to keep the site running.

9. I doubt that RimJob needs so much money to run it

I think it's his actual salary instead.

10. FR proves how stupid cons can really be

They will go on and on about fiscal conservatism yet they can not see when they are being fleeced by a con artist. There is no way that site costs that much to operate.

12. I bet the ones who actually see through it

have already been "zotted."

15. Aw come-on, I hear feeding the guy that psuhes/turns the servers' power source is expensive

13. It's taking about 2 months out of each quarter to raise the 100 grand. Soon,

he'll just have a permanent freepathon.

[sakabatou]

16. So 8 months of pure money-raising...

We only had half that; one per-quarter.

11. The server's fan probably got blocked again.

Jim will sort it out in a few days...

19. I don't see any Cheeto's sacks in there....

...but I do see a 5.25 floppy--man, those Freeper guys are really HIGH-tech!!

[Wilms]

20. I noticed that floppy too!

LOL!

14. Typically, it occurs when the hamster dies.

RimJob has to buy a new one from the discount-pet section of Wal-Mart, and you know what a zoo that place can be. Especially when the Hamster keeps getting stuck in the barcode scanner.

17. Maybe for a fundraiser

they could sell some autographed photos of Newt Gingrich. I'm pretty sure that he has some left over.

[RoseMead]

18. I just brought it up

It's still there, and still ugly as hell.

21. Only one guy posting under all the user names is not a shut down

It's an echo chamber
