Source: Me URL Source: http://www.freerepublic.com Published: May 15, 2017 Author: Hank Rearden Post Date: 2017-05-15 11:21:48 by Hank Rearden Keywords: None Views: 20458 Comments: 73 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.

To: Hank Rearden, *free republic and JR watch* (#0) Update FR still down, check out Jim Robinson complaining about lack of $$ on the FR Facebook site to explain why FR is still down. kumano Akachan 21 hrs Why are we down so long? There should be backup servers and backup storage and redundant servers and streaming real-time database duplication. I don't understand this long down time. Does anyone know what is going on, and why we don't see updates here? I work in IT and I know the FR Gods know IT and programming, so experiencing this long void is really disheartening. Jim Robinson reply We're old fashioned, stubborn and dumb. Too dumb to realize you can't run an operation like this with no capital, no professional management and no expert tech staff. It's just me (an old beat-up, over-the-hill programmer) my two sons and a bookkeeper as partners. John is our entire tech staff. We do the best we can with what the Good Lord provides TrappedInMd  posted on  2017-05-18   10:48:25 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #33. To: TrappedInMd (#31) (Edited) John was the entire tech staff 20 years ago, and his skillset has obviously not improved in all that time. Many utter crashes, still no ability to edit postings. I guess they just can't afford a grand or two out of their $29,000 per MONTH revenue stream to spend on the actual business model for redundancy. And it's not the Good Lord who dumps that cash into their laps. Jesus, Hopalong sounds like Jim and Tammy Faye. Couldn't even slap in a RAID system, oh no. And they still whine about having to drive to San Jose to check out problems because apparently Hopalong's trailer park still doesn't have electricity and Internet access. Can't possibly have an on-call real tech on retainer or find a closer location with electrical outlets. Their breadstick bill must be outrageous.

FreeRepublic is obsolete.... can't keep up with the competition... too many alternatives available where people don't have to put up with Jimmy's paranoid tyranny... He's just squeezing FR for the last penny until it dies... Willie Green  posted on  2017-05-18   12:35:27 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #37. To: Willie Green, Hank Rearden (#35) FreeRepublic is obsolete.... can't keep up with the competition... too many alternatives available where people don't have to put up with Jimmy's paranoid tyranny... He's just squeezing FR for the last penny until it dies... How do we know it really goes down? I recall on LP many just believed he does this during fundraisers to get freepers to donate more Frank Robinson on FR Facebook: I've seen several of these kinds of posts in the last few days, and I'm pretty much sick of them. Jim Robinson (no relation) has, for many years, furnished a platform for conservative news/views, at NO CHARGE. No annoying ads. As a physically handicapped person, he has figured out a way to make a living, without receiving government handouts. He is to be applauded. He, and his son, John, provides us with an addictive outlet for our joys and frustrations with government. He is a true conservative, in every sense of the word. Now, some people on here are yapping about "donations", and "freepathons"...my quest us, "why?". He doesn't charge you ANYTHING to sign up, and use FR. If any of you naysayers think you can do it better, then buy you a server, and get started. Jim and John know what they're doing. I've been on the board since 1998, and I can count on one hand the number of serious outages in all that time. If this outage upsets you, then find another website that pleases you more...go there, and stay there. You're acting like petulant democrats not getting their way. If you don't want to "donate", then DON'T...FR will be just fine without you grudges participation.good work work jim/John, we appreciate you both.

Oh, it's definitely down: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/freerepublic.com.html and Johnny had to race off to San Jose to examine the hard drive and carefully carry it back to the trailer park like a Faberge egg to do incantations over it or something. Much easier than just installing new hardware with built-in RAID, I suppose. It's only been 20 years of screwups; they're still learning. But at least a few brave sheeple are posting on the FB site, reminding people that it always goes down during high-stress periods, too - like election nights, and are postulating why it needs to be that way given the amount of revenue they receive. That would be $29,000 per month, remember. Hank Rearden  posted on  2017-05-18   13:08:52 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #39.

To: TrappedInMd (#39) What I really meant is how do we know he's not bringing it down on purpose. For a day, day and a half, maybe - to stimulate the sheeple. It's been about four days now - that's way too long, now people start getting used to being without it and are wondering why it's so crappy for so much money. If this is intentional, he's overplayed his hand. That doesn't mean he won't recover the grift to at least 95% of what it was; bootlicks persist.
