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!!

No problems here.
(Did I mention Im maybe 10 miles from the server farm?)

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

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

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

(18,479 posts)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.

(18,665 posts)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.
