Title: Who had May 15th in the "FR crashes" pool?

Midway through the 90-day 'fundraising' grift, FR has crashed today. To me, this is a bit early to schedule the outage, as it may not instill sufficient panic amongst the acolytes. But that $88k just has to be scooped up this quarter before the next round starts July 1.

And after all these years, all those millions of dollars, you STILL can't edit a typo or mistaken statement in a posting there.

Way to go, Hopalong.

It's sad how people are duped into dumping money into 90s technology. No improvements Zero innovation.

JRs clientele are aging boomers. He is not filling the ranks with younger posters as most find the dinosaur format to obtrusive.

Wanna see something funny? If it ever comes back up, check the copyright date at the bottom of the page - IIRC it's 2008, 2011 or something like that.

Not exactly evidence of a crack code-maintenance team staying on top of it. But what can they do with just a third of a million dollars per year? Maybe a billion dollars in donations would fund adding an Edit function.

That's a very deliberate policy, not a lack of coding ability in Perl. JohnRob has decent enough skills.

It is JimRob's policy that holds FR to a Web 1.0 interface, not lack of technical ability.

Well, I'm not gonna click because I don't do Creepbook, a truly creepy corporation, far worse than Google and Apple combined.

So you have to paste it here if you want me to comment on it.

(My dog's account and adblockers to the rescue! Excuse the lack of formatting. Some of the sheeple are beginning to suss out the obvious. "the hard drive"!!!??? What, they have just the one? "bring it home"???? Comments would lead one to think RAID was just invented. And all for just a third of a mil per year!)

Jim Robinson 9 hrs

Update: Heard from John a little while ago. Not good. Was not able to get the hard drive going, so he decided to bring it home and after he gets some sleep, he'll try to replace it and recover the data. Looks liker we're going to be down tomorrow, too. Sorry. Prayers that he gets it all going again tomorrow.

Jim Robinson (And, yes, he was very frustrated and muttered,"'Maybe we should go to cloud.")

Ken Jacoby Hang in there....

Robert Morrow It would be great to hear about options that would guarantee zero downtime ever. Is there a reason the servers have to be kept at a location away from the home? Heck, if clinton could have one in her bathroom... Don't most servers run on a RAID platform with 3 or more drives so if one hard drive dies it's just a matter of sliding in another from the stack of new drives sitting right next to it with no data loss since it's mirrored across all the drives then the new drive data is rebuilt from the ones that are still operating. It has been a long time since I worked in the computer and networking field so I'm sure a lot has changed. Linux servers seem to be the most reliable; at least back then. Not sure about now. So many possibilities and so many folks counting on FR to be up and running at all times... maybe paying for cloud storage is an idea who's time has come.

Brian Dragomanovich https://aws.amazon.com or https://azure.microsoft.com/.../disaster-recovery-smb.../ (Currently the FR server lives at an NTT colocation datacenter in San Jose/Santa Clara http://www.us.ntt.com/.../data-center/nexcenter/us.html ) More info. on Cloud "Virtual Server" services: http://fortune.com/2015/05/19/amazon-tops-in-cloud/

Anne Marie Volowski Keep the server at the house would be better for both Jim and John.

One has to wonder what it will take for the sheeple there to call bullshit on the whole Griftathon scam.

It's like Amway. Even after everyone actually knows its a scam, they stay with it because it is a participation cult and many of the freepers have no social life away from FR.

Televangelists prey on the same kind of shut-ins.

This is why the format and features change so rarely. Any change is traumatic for the long-time cult members.
