Freepers annoyed that FR cannot stop crashing, LOL

[K8-EEE]

Aren't they used to that conservative style competence yet?? Natch the response will be SEND MORE MONEY.

This site has been a frustrating disaster for the last week. What the he'll is going on? I can't get the page to load but 1 of 4 attempts. I'm about to give up, and I've been a member since 1998.

Please tell me this will be fixed before Tuesday!!

I've been a member since 1999 and it’s been driving me crazy, too.

I’ve never seen it this inconsistent.

No problems here.

(Did I mention I’m maybe 10 miles from the server farm?)

It seems like the “server farm” is a Dell desktop with a Lite DSL connection lately.

1. Time to up grade from that Ti-99.

[reflection]

8. Hey, I had a TI-994A. Loved it.

I also have a Commodore 64 in mint condition. Those were the salad days.

I believe this is the FR server though, the Timex Sinclair 1000

[L0oniX]

13. Had one of those too. Just sold 3 Atari 800xl's.

[reflection]

16. Sweet.

I never had an Atari computer, just the ubiquitous 2600 gaming system with a Starpath Supercharger to pimp it out. I was such a vidiot back then.

[Codeine]

45. I fondly remember typing game programs from Compute! magazine into our TI994a back in the 80s.

While other kids were out riding BMX bikes and building strong, healthy bodies our gang was holed up in a stuffy bedroom with giant bags of generic potato chips and a tape drive.

[Iterate]

19. Hey don't dis the TI-99

It was 16-bit, I'll have you know. It's not the TI-99's fault the cassettes they use have crapped out.

[Erose999]

30. I heard they're thinking TRS-80 with the external 5mb hard drive and 300 baud modem. Maybe add

an additional 5.25" floppy to the daisy chain.

[L0oniX]

32. Hayes 300 baud rocks your connection.

[Texas Lawyer]

2. They Built That

[K8-EEE]

4. LOL!!!!!

good one!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

46. +1 nt

[reflection]

9. .

[JNelson6563]

38. Thread winner!

[Erose999]

47. Heres a picture of what they built:

[FSogol]

3. LOL: "tell me this will be fixed before Tuesday"

[lpbk2713]

5. RimJob's site is a 1990 BBS ... so that it isn't too much for the mouth breathers to figure out.

Maybe if he upgraded from that Packard Bell server it might help.

[MineralMan]

6. I expect FR to go dark not long after the election.

It's been living on borrowed time for quite a while.

[Epiphany4z]

7. they are moving

over to facebook. complaining on that to about fr going in and out

[DJ13]

18. Good

Those people definitely need to have their movements tracked.

[Erose999]

31. Facebook will help with that, for sure. LOL.

[klook]

10. Maybe it's on the members' end

They're probably all on Compuserve dial up and Windows 95 machines in their parents' basements.

[Flashmann]

11. If it were a legitimate site

Expressing legitimate opinions,would it not then self correct whatever problems,and shut down it's own attempts to shut down??.....

[Speck Tater]

12. Ha! I TOLD them buying their servers at the Salvation Army Store was a bad idea. nt

[IDoMath]

14. FreeRepublic.com is powered by software copyright 2000-2008 John Robinson

i.e. It hasn't been upgraded in four YEARS. And it's probably all Microsoft based.

[formercia]

24. Who would violate that Copyright?

Parody is not a Copyright violation.

That's another thing about the Freeper mindset: Creative commons is socialistic, if not communist.

[IDoMath]

39. Can you copyright self-parody then? n/t

[formercia]

42. Sure, you can copyright any tome of your own creation

that doesn't mean it's worth anything.

It's like trying to sell an expired Lottery ticket, claiming it was only used once.

Anyone who would use JimRob as a user name.... Really, RimJob, you should have thought about the consequences.....That boy is the dumbest Hammer in the Bag.

[SoCalNative]

15. I think that the squirrels are getting old and tired

[Ilsa]

17. DNR Freeperville.

RimJob should just let it crash and not bother with the resuscitation.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

34. Please....it's a mint for him

Idiots lining up to hand him their money to supplement his gub'mint check.

[BlueJazz]

20. Christ..they work the hell out of the little guy...

[pinboy3niner]

27. More like...

[drm604]

21. They have lots of duplicate posts

from people resubmitting because it's so slow.

[lpbk2713]

26. And so many of the dupes start off with ...

"Didja hear what Rushbo said?"

[JohnnyRingo]

22. Circling the drain.

I recall early this year, when Romney was still just a primary candidate, JimRob had a purge of those who didn't see Gingrich as the only conservative candidate. He lost a lot of members over that, and made a big personal post about how he was in his mid-60s and ready to give the whole thing up and buy retirement property in Florida. Then he had a "Freepathon" that, just like the most recent one, never met it's goal.

Since then, it's become obvious that Robinson is pocketing every penny he takes in and not updating or improving the site. It's sad because other than Stormfront, these losers have no where else to go.

I only wish I'd saved that page where JimRob threatened to shut the whole thing down.

[madinmaryland]

23. I wonder how many hamsters RimJob has killed trying to create enough electricity

to keep his server running!

[formercia]

25. Hamster Galley Slaves.

He probably killed them by trying to figure out how to chain them to the treadmill.

[Glassunion]

28. I think HopeHoops cat has something to do with it.

[ThomThom]

29. so we should all pay them a visit???

get their numbers up and there service down

[formercia]

44. How many users does it take to crash FR?

That would make a good joke....

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

33. PLEASE be fixed by Tuesday

The meltdown that will occur needs to be recorded for posterity, and likely future criminal investigations.

[meow2u3]

35. All right guys, which one of youse is responsible?

[lindysalsagal]

36. His mother keeps plugging in the vibrator while the dishwasher is going.

"If I've told her 100 times....!"

[BumRushDaShow]

37. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars has Rimjob bilked them out of?

[onethatcares]

40. "I haven't seen it this

incontinent" ever

[nolabear]

41. They may have to give up and meet in person. "JimRob! Party of three!"

Tomorrow should be a thing to behold.

[ellisonz]

43. And their website looks like shit
