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: 20506 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: TrappedInMd (#31) (Edited) Jim Robinson: Was going to post a link to our online budget breakdown, but unfortunately, it's a no go right now. Anyway, you are basically correct. Most of the money raised goes to cover operating expenses (including salaries and overhead) and a relatively smaller amount for capital expenditures. Actually, we have very little capital available for capital investments.. Po', po' pitiful me....... It's the breadstick bill. Jim Robinson: The funny (unfortunate) thing about operating without capital is we never seem to have the time and money available to invest in and build the very best in server systems. But we always make the time and find the money required to fix it when it breaks. Also, I think we're talking more about time here than money. Again, $29,000 per month. People are even posting to him links to RAID systems on Newegg for cheap, but his response is more excuses for being lazy and incompetent and having no help. I've always build redundancy into my various business computer systems; this is basic to corporate survival. These days, the cost to implement redundancy is almost zero in the big scheme of things.

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   Trace   Private Reply   #39.

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.

Yes, the SANE Freepers are getting used to it, having already wise to the charade and flown the coop to other forums that don't prey upon the aging, the naive, loyal, honest patriots. Most Freepers are so used to using FR as their proxy best friend, hubby/wifey, and narcotic that many are likely having drug withdrawal symptoms and separation anxiety after 4 days. This is the same cruel joke and script the Robinsons have played on a regular basis for HOW LONG NOW?? At what point do the majority resent this same game, repeated script and Pavlov's Dog operation during these shake-downs? It's like a comedic Twilight Zone episode. John Rob finally announces THE doohicky has been located somewhere in a time-warp dungeon in the year 1999... ...After posting a selfie of himself sporting a miners' helmet, blackened, sweaty face, and impish smile, John becomes lionized (as usual), showered with countless "PRAISE THE LORD!" thanks for supposedly risking life and limb through the Gates of Hell...JUST to raise old, battered, sabotaged FR back from the dead like Lazarus.

If you don't like FR going down then just donate more $$$$. Saint JR barely gets enough in donations for himself and his family to live comfortable, he doesn't do this for $$$ he is patriotic. We should all pray thanks for him, keeping America free while handicapped. Its just he and John (how come he doesn't mention onyx??) working together keeping old outdated servers up and running some of the time on the few measely hundreds of K$$$ he gets from our pathetic donations.

To: All (#0) (Edited) An hour ago: Jim Robinson: Received a two part message from John. The first part went into some of the horror stories of procurement, replacement and recovery but he ended it upbeat. Sounds like he's making great progress. Says he's going to go up to San Jose and purchase some additional equipment then he should be ready to install. And he says installation should be straightforward as the drive is pre-loaded and ready to go. The only thing he left off was the timing and I haven't heard back from him on that yet. Oops, he just responded to my question if we were going to be up today.. Said it depends on how many unexpected problems like he had yesterday pop up. Prayers up! I guess San Jose must be the Mecca for shitty servers - he's always going there to screw around with something. The "horror stories" no doubt result from trying to find parts for 1992 Gateway Pentium II servers. Four days down.

To: Hank Rearden, Liberator, TooConservative, redleghunter (#24) Some of the sheeple are saying a third of a million per year isn't enough; they need a SPECIAL fundraiser to set up a server that actually has some redundancy. I saw that suggestion. The reason why JR cant do that is many donating freepers would just donate to that instead of the current Robinson freepthon slush fund that goes to his family and friends. "Sorry Jim, my last dollar went to your server fund and the rest of my SS check must go to my rented room, and the Mac-an-Cheese and Tuna which I live on . But MAGA!"

I still can't recall who it was over at LP that kept such meticulous records on the day-to-day take for the quarterly Griftathons. He used spreadsheets and did analysis on how long it took for the griftathons to reach their funding goal and how it was taking longer and longer over time. It was a dedicated bit of analysis that he excelled at. He was one of LP's better posters but just suddenly left LP one day.

They don't want to identify their FR username on FB since that would identify them personally. And those who post crazy stuff like calling for armed rebellion or racial comments may not be comfortable doing it under their real name. From JR's standpoint he probably wants it open so his FR members who don't use FB can get to it when FR is down, FR put up a page saying it was down with a link to the FB page.

To: All (#0) (Edited) From here now that it's finally back online after more than four days: "Free Republic is supported 100% by our donations. The reason we do not have the best and top of the line servers and backup servers is money." Again, $29,000 per month, for years. So of course reply #5 is: "Hardware is expensive and has a limited lifespan." Since when has hardware been expensive for projects like this? Wouldn't 10% of $29 Large pretty much cover it, including support and maintenance? Is all that money just for plenary indulgences from the Messiah and breadsticks, leaving nothing for ongoing operations of the actual business? Gross revenues in the companies I started were relied upon for, you know, running the business. Somebody should post on the "Yay, we're back!" threads asking to see the receipts to see how much was spent on the repairs, then compare against $29,000 per month. And again I'm reminded that we can edit posts, yet after over 20 years and millions of dollars, the FRsheeple still cannot.

Yes, it's sad. Onyx is a well-intending person who has always been under-appreciated. She seems to have mellowed over the years (like most of us.) FR is thought of as an old friend. Existing, aging posters like it just the way it is. A closed chatroom. Heavily censored and moderated. The truth of the matter as most of us know: FR has in its ancient past been a good forum. But one should never make the mistake that beyond 2004 that it has historically supported REAL "conservative" principles OR the absolute truth. Above all else Free Republic and its hierarchy have protected JR's source of income, which was indeed supplemented by GOP lobbyists of pro-illegal, pro-Amnesty policies from 2003 through 2008 at EXACTLY the juncture FR's influence was needed. Current Freepers have either ignored or forgotten OR are obvious to how JR took the $$$ and ran during the crucial 2005-2006 era when he defended Dubya Bush's pro-Illegal Invasion, pro-Amnesty positions and policies (as well as allowing pro-illegal posters to attack pro-sovereignty posters with impunity.) JR's position was indefensible. It hurt the forum, and hurt the rep of FR. Most of us recall the purges of pro-soveignty posters, INCLUDING one Travis McGee (which said it all.) FR's hierarchy as well as JR's family are perfectly fine continuing to use the 20th century interface AND relying on guilt for donations from the same aging, non-inquisitive posters through the years -- WITHOUT infusing the place with newer blood. More challenging conservative posters who occasionally rock the boat need not apply nor are they welcome. Liberator  posted on  2017-05-24   14:26:49 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #68.

The reason for the registration is so that a publisher can find the name and address where he should send the notice. Obviously, not one of these 300 or so publishers had a problem finding our address since it’s been posted on every page of FR since 1998 and my email address is posted on the home page as well. Also, we are registered with gkg.net and Righthaven is very much aware of that since they use that source to unethically spring frivolous lawsuits on people with no prior notice and threaten to have their registered domain names transferred to them. Sorry, pal, but you and Gibson will learn that we are very much covered by DMCA and we fully comply with the law in all respects. The congress set up DMCA to make the resolution of these nickel dime hassles routine and not matters to clog up the federal courts. We demonstrably comply with the intent of the law as enacted by congress, Righthaven does not. Call your good buddy Steve Gibson back and let him know that you and he are both losers.
