Is Freeperland down today?

[Tarc]

Haven't been able to get more than a "connection timed out" all morning. I need my daily dose of birther/teaparty absurdities, as they lighten the day so much.

Are they busy scrubbing away James O'Keefe's FR account, posts, etc...? Just like they have done in the past, e.g. George Tiller's assassin?

1. I'll take your word for it, thanks

[JBoy]

2. Appears so.

[blondeatlast]

3. Down as in depressed? Probably. After a year in mom's basement and the SOTU last

night, their spirits are likely way down.

4. I've been getting a "cannot display page" message. I wanted to check out

their reaction to some of Obama's remarks last night.

5. Who cares?

I know I'm not gonna add to their site/page count to find out.
:shrug:

6. It's always wise to keep track of the enemy

11. It's a grim job, but someone has to do it....

My thanks to the brave souls who share the outrages and entertainments taken from the armpit of the cyber-world...

I get too itchy going over there myself

:7

17. Easy enough to do

by simply tuning in to mainstream media.
No need for any of us to go slogging through the muck over there. We don't need that passel of useless pukes to relay the GOP talking points. All you need to do is listen to CNN or read the NY Times.

Do you seriously think that those idiots over there are any danger to us?
It's more of a comedy site where the jokes are delivered with an angry voice and are not very funny.

18. "Do you seriously think that those idiots over there are any danger to us?"

Attitudes like this just lost us Ted Kennedy's seat.

20. I don't mean to sound so snarky

I just think that it is gross. I feel it's debasing to one's self to read that kind of negativity on a regular basis. It would make me feel like s@&t to read post after post. I would want to throttle one of them in about 15 minutes. I looked them over years ago thinking I could get a head start on the latest talking points. Battle prep, right?
I found no insight there, only incite. They are ditto heads and the talking points don't come from there.
I vowed never again. For my blood pressure, particularly.

7. They are DOWN

8. The hamster died - they are on the way to the pet store

to get another.

Maybe their freepathon wasn't going fast enough, and this is their way of 'encouraging' donations?

[krispos42]

12. Their freepathons are now the majority of their time, I think.

DU runs them for a week for whatever they can get. The freepers run theirs until they get a set dollar amount, and that's been taking longer and longer over the past couple of years.


DU has a lot of excess capacity in that we can turn off extra features like avatars and siglines to preserve bandwidth for discussion in times of high usage. I don't think FR can do that.

9. Rimjob always shuts it down a couple of times during his fundraiser.

It apparently stimulates the coprophagous to donate.

[rd_kent]

10. Seems to be back up

[tosh]

13. I could have sworn you said

"Seemes to be backed up" and that visual was NOT pleasant but perfectly appropriate.

[krispos42]

14. Look at their fundraising

This quarter started January 1st and will probably end sometimes tomorrow or Friday.


Their last "freepathon" ended Nov. 2 but started October 1st. They spend one month in three begging for money!

:rofl:

15. RWingnuts have always been technophobes.

They know as much about running a website as they do about running a country.

[krispos42]

16. Seems to be cutting in and out

Maybe their hamster IS on it's last legs!

[Arkana]

19. That place looks like such shit I'm surprised they haven't died before now.

RimJob must spend the donation money on spinners for his wheelchair.
