Looks like Freeperville has gone dark

[Skip_In_Boulder]

Did Anonymous get tired of their crap?

[vercetti2021]

1. That or...

Their heads exploded.

[EFerrari]

3. LOL

[toddwv]

28. Their domain expires on Sept 22, 2011.

Would be pretty funny if they forgot to renew and somebody picked it up and routed it to porn site.

Just saying...

[gkhouston]

50. Are you kidding? That would be the biggest improvement ever made to FR. n/t

[white_wolf]

2. I doubt that site is worth Anon's trouble. I think the hamster that powers Freeperville died, is all

[Skip_In_Boulder]

12. You're probably right

But I have been petitioning them to take a look at it for some time. :argh:

[Harmony Blue]

4. They probably think the Rapture is upon them

so no need for Freeperville lol.

[Pisces]

5. One can only hope Anon took down that bog of eternal stench.

[madinmaryland]

6. No shit! It's down!! I guess the hamster must have escaped from the wheel that powers that site.

[AngryOldDem]

90. Or died, one of the two. n/t

[arcane1]

7. Did they fail to meet their first-quarter fundraising goal?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[itsrobert]

8. The Condi Rice photos must of overloaded the forum

too many freepers getting their freak on.

[muriel_volestrangler]

78. Most likely explanation so far!

:rofl:

[Skip_In_Boulder]

93. I bet this is the one that took them out

[a la izquierda]

106. Oh my god, I just puked in my mouth.

:puke:

[denbot]

9. Rim Job probably thought the Freep's were not worth grifting anymore

Imagine how much he made from that 90's tech message-board.

[arcane1]

16. He's buying Cadillacs on Social Security and welfare now

And bought his wide-screen TV with his paltry freeper funds

:rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Skip_In_Boulder]

25. Really!

Not to mention I came up with some information some years back that he has been getting money from Republican organizations for him to keep the propaganda going. Which of course never got mentioned on his site. His hustle has always been that the lights are about to go off and the nimrods there by it hook line and sinker.

[rug]

10. The grid can sustain only so much stupidity.

[MicaelS]

11. He regularly threatens to "shut the place down"...

Maybe he finally (hopefully) did it.

[arcane1]

22. Suicide Zotting!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[white_wolf]

13. Honestly, though if I was Anon I'd take down Stormfront.

[bbernardini]

15. How would you be able to tell the difference?

:)

[provis99]

24. the difference is that Stormfront is more professional looking.

Freeperville looks like something an insane survivalist put together in his basement.

That's pretty much the only real difference.

[leftyohiolib]

36. Freeperville looks like something an insane survivalist put together in his basement.

isnt that rimjob

[Erose999]

73. An insane survivalist would be using salvaged transistors and stuff for a practical purpose. Freep

is more like that old 1970's machine in the corner of the office with 1/8" of dust accumulated on it that the IT guy is afraid to get rid of because no one knows what it actually does. Is it some sort of slide projector? A daisy-wheel printer? Microfische reader? Betamax VCR? Who knows?

[me b zola]

54. If i was Anon i would make the elite's bank accounts disappear

Think of how much would be solved if suddenly the playing field would be a bit more leveled. :)

[Arkansas Granny]

87. I took a look at Stormfront for the first time. It's really revolting.

I've seen people joke about taking a shower after going to FR, but I really feel like I need one now.

[XemaSab]

14. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

My poor beloved sock! :cry:

[MilesColtrane]

35. Sockie, we hardly knew ye.

:patriot:

[Ohio Joe]

17. Good

May they never come back... Douchebags.

[sudopod]

18. I suspect that there would be substantially more animated penises involved if it were Anon. :3 nt

[HughBeaumont]

19. It's time for the yearly Nine-Volt battery replacement.

[nolabear]

20. Uh oh...be on the lookout for juvenile delinquents in these parts.

[Zax2me]

21. MSM will have a replacement up in moments. Patience n/a

[Brother Buzz]

23. He may have used all the juice trying to jump-start his crappy motorhome

So he can attend The so-called "super rally" planned for the Tea Party Express' launch in Napa, Calif. this Saturday

[Skip_In_Boulder]

26. Still Dark 11:03 EDT

[kestrel91316]

27. Okay, which one of you guys did it? Fess up.

[HipChick]

31. Looks like it went down hard...won't be coming back up anytime soon

According to the FR facebook page...


Bad news. FR is down hard. John says he can't even communicate with the system. He's going to have to drive up to the data center to get hands on. Hopefully, it'll be back online later tonight. Sorry about the downtime.
Jim

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. He is going to give CPR to the poor hamster?

On a serious note... his Dbase is probably hosed

[sarge43]

61. It's a complicated system

[thelordofhell]

29. You're Welcome

:evilgrin:

[leftynyc]

63. All funny posts

but yours made me laugh so hard, I scared the kitties.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. Poor hamster

on a serious note they have gone dark a few times in the last few months, I am not ready to declare them dead yet.

[MilesColtrane]

32. Operation Regal 12 is underway.

I repeat, Regal 12 is a go.

The black helicopters have been deployed. The target site has been compromised, and the Freeper round up has begun.

The FEMA camps await until Obama can convene the tribunals. The execution squads are locked and loaded.












(That ought to scare the piss out of them. :rofl: )

[lovemydog]

43. Regal 12

10 4.

That includes the plan to turn every poster at FR into a miserable ignoramus. Oh wait. That part was already in effect.

[Sedona]

79. tribuals? ? what for? straight to the FEMA camps with the freeptards

get the warehoused coffins ready!

no trials! :toast:

[Renew Deal]

33. Act of God?

O8)

[ingac70]

37. RimJob posted a message about it on their FB page:

"Bad news. FR is down hard. John says he can't even communicate with the system. He's going to have to drive up to the data center to get hands on. Hopefully, it'll be back online later tonight. Sorry about the downtime.
Jim"

Yep, the hamster is no longer running in the wheel.

[Skip_In_Boulder]

45. Still Down

Must be a really long drive up there to the "Data Center"

[XemaSab]

48. Prolly all the way up in Chowchilla

:P

[ClassWarrior]

46. Shock and awe for the Freepie Fund Drive.

NGU.

[LeftyMom]

47. Translation: the Packard Bell 386 overheated because there was cat hair in the vents, and now we

need to go down to Grandma Marge's trailer and remind her not to plug the microwave in on the same circuit.

[ClassWarrior]

49. Dammm... I used to have one of those.

Thanks for dredging up those primordial memories.

:rofl:

NGU.

[LeftyMom]

52. I had the 486. Fancy.

It's the Commedore 64 I get misty about.

[ClassWarrior]

53. Hey, I never claimed to get misty about the Packard.

My first Mac is a different story entirely.

NGU.

[eridani]

How about Kaypros?

Friends United Computing /Kaypros--those were the days.

[eridani]

59. How about Kaypros?

Friends United Computing /Kaypros--those were the days.

[eridani]

How about Kaypros?

Friends United Computing /Kaypros--those were the days.

[eridani]

60. How about Kaypros?

Friends United Computing /Kapros--those were the days.

[msanthrope]

84. Is that what you are currently using? (Not often I see a quadruple repeat!)

;-)

[eridani]

123. Sorry--connection was hiccuping n/t

[mikeytherat]

64. I loved the cassette drive on the Com64.

mikey_the_rat

[Erose999]

77. Packard Bell? I heard they were on a TRS-80....

I'm sure it had something to do with cat hair in the vents though.

[leftyohiolib]

110. omg the trash-80. we learned some basic on that in high school

[KamaAina]

102. No way.

Fascist scum like RimJob hate and fear cats. Must've been dog hair. :-)

[CatholicEdHead]

119. True

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[City Lights]

67. "FR is down hard."

I'm grinning from ear to ear. :7

:rofl:

[Erose999]

74. "He's going to have to drive up to the data center" - That must be this place....

[muriel_volestrangler]

82. They can't communicate with normal human beings either

Maybe the computer, having so much spare capacity from running such a shitty site, has been secretly developing its own artificial intelligence over all these years; and now it's found a rudimentary form of morality, and realised the horrors of being associated with Free Republic. It's going through a Long Dark Night of the Soul, and will either kill itself or join Anonymous today.

[sarcasmo]

101. Sounds like someone hit them with a good virus.

[johnnie]

38. Official word from FR server admin

"Very sorry FR was down today. My mom came downstairs and was going to vacuum up the Doritos crumbs around my desk. Instead of her using the plug I use for my fondue maker she pulled the plug on my Packard Bell. Once again, sorry for the inconvenience".

[bluedigger]

39. It's a tragedy.

It's going to be a long and painful recovery, I'm sure.

[lonestarnot]

41. And he's so cute. Animal abusers!

[Arugula Latte]

108. Oh, come on. That damn hamster was a freeloader!

It was always expecting entitlements like "food" and "water" in exchange for trotting on the wheel all day and night. What a lazy welfare queen of a rodent!

[disillusioned73]

115. The cone of shame... nice!!

:rofl:

[gauguin57]

40. Damn! What'll I do for entertainment now?

Pore lil' freepers.

[krispos42]

42. Maybe rimjob fell out of his Rascal

[KamaAina]

44. That is clearly Photoshopped!!

No way RimJob would have a bottle of Maker's in front of him. Given his location in the Central Valley, E&J brandy would be my guess. :P

[Raster]

121. I concur. Maker's is well beyond RimJob. I'm thinking Ol' Grandad.

[pinboy3niner]

122. I'm thinking 'Ol Thunderbird

:rofl:

[Pool Hall Ace]

116. If I were not already on the Express Bus to Hell

I am now for laughing at this! :rofl:

[DesertRat]

51. What a shame

:evilgrin:

[sudopod]

55. They've finally gone and done it.

They've herped so hard that they derped.

[Monk06]

56. RimJob finished his latest Beg-a-Thon and now he has to return the server he rented.

[LetTimmySmoke]

57. Maybe Rim Job went out one night..

...and tried some shrooms, had sex, took a walk, then calmed down with a giant blunt....then said "you know, fuck this right wing shit. I'm gonna go have fun." Then he shut down his site.

[Skip_In_Boulder]

98. Took a walk?

[Turborama]

58. K&R For the best laugh I've had in ages.

Thanks a lot guys, I needed that!

:rofl:

[mikeytherat]

62. 4:52 a.m. - still down hard.

Cheetos and RAID arrays - bad combo.

mikey_the_rat

[Cirque du So-What]

65. 5:28 AM PDT: Still down - HARD!

[pinboy3niner]

66. Oh noes!1!! He and the whole site got zotted!1!!

:evilgrin:

[WilliamPitt]

68. 8:52am EST still down

Mwah hah hah...

[Raschel]

69. Freeperville still down? Did the Grinch make off with the money, then pat them all on the head?

[madinmaryland]

70. ACCORDING to their facebook page, the server (singular) blew up at the

hosting facility...

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Free-Republic/141344792800

Freepers are coming out of their bedrooms in the basement in droves!!

:rofl:

[lpbk2713]

71. And it's hard to find replacements for DEC equipment these days.

(There hasn't been any DEC equipment manufactured since the 1980's)

[madinmaryland]

97. I learned assembly language programming on an old DEC PDP11/70 back in college!

I bet old Jimbo ran out of punch cards or had a punch card with a dimpled chad that blew their system up!!

:rofl:

[Skip_In_Boulder]

92. Let me guess

So Rimjob is now on Facebook panhandling for money claiming that if Freepers don't cough up he will never be able to get the site back up.

[EstimatedProphet]

72. You mean they let a BLACK person post there?!?

[Skip_In_Boulder]

99. Yeah they decided to follow the Republican Party lead

and let one black guy post on their site so they can claim they are not racist.

[racaulk]

75. A bunch of Doritos crumbs and Cheetos dust must have clogged up the server.

:evilgrin:

[muffin1]

76. That's hilarious

K&R

:rofl:

[Sedona]

80. 7:30 AM PDT still down

cool......

[itsrobert]

81. He better hurry, most of his posters have probably moved to StormFront

and they will never get them back.

[nadinbrzezinski]

88. tsk, tsk, tsk a few went to a cave

that is all...

No more needed.

[cordelia]

94. The lowest of the low?

[hifiguy]

83. Apparently Project X was successful

:rofl:

[octothorpe]

96. Shhhhhhhhh....

Now we have to change the name to Project Y.

Hopefully none of them know their alphabet.

[lindysalsagal]

105. The dog has been put out. Initiate operation Patron. That is all.

lol

[hifiguy]

107. The goose has nested.

Repeat, the goose has nested.

[Arugula Latte]

109. Project X is the one where we make soap out of Freepers, right?

Now that their means of communication has been eliminated, we can proceed to Phase II.

[lindysalsagal]

112. Riiiiiiight. "S o a p." n/t.

[msanthrope]

85. As of 10:30 EST Friday--Still down!!! nt

[chrisa]

86. Operation Socialist Marxist Kenyan Takeover was a success

We may now sit back in our chairs and relax!

[CanonRay]

91. Thank you Comrade, for that update

[nadinbrzezinski]

89. They are still gone

[malaise]

95. Funniest thread ever

:rofl:

Let's hope they're gone for good.

[sarcasmo]

100. Maybe they can rename it bankerrepublic.com

[lindysalsagal]

103. His mother finally made him move out of the basement, now that he's 55. n/t.

[Skip_In_Boulder]

104. Well it was grand while it lasted but

the hate mongers are back up and in business.

[Enrique]

111. "there is no darkness but ignorance"

William Shakespeare.

[uppityperson]

113. It's baaaaaaaaaack....

[lindysalsagal]

114. They're actually working on their illiteracy!

117. Aww crap!

Rimjob ended his bender early I guess. :hangover:

[nadinbrzezinski]

118. They remain dark

13:10 PST

This is serious... that hamster is beyond CPR I suspect.

[Tyrs WolfDaemon]

120. Give the guy a break

He is probably madly reading up on this new language in hopes of fixing his site.

FORTRAN
