Jim Robinson on Free Republic's downtime

Seems the servers are down, but replaced. And Jim Robinson is a kickass living martyr!

We do the best we can with what we have. Others have tried and failed with more.

We're under capitalized, under funded, under staffed and under water. Just too

damn stupid and too damn stubborn to know you can't do what we're doing on a

shoestring and live to tell the tale. No doubt someday all of our detractors

will be pleased to see us go down for the last time. But until then, damn the

torpedoes, full speed ahead!!



We are the resistance!! If not us, who?


And Freepers lap it up:
In want to thank Jim for being so aware and on the ball that you knew
ahead of time that a problem existed and humbly asked the faithful Freepers for
the extra funds that would be needed to fix a problem he was aware could happen.

Great timing, and strong evidence that Jim knows how to keep FR going strong,
with minimal problems.

Thanks again Jim,

God bless,

OV

The proof Free Republic is strong is that it went down right after a big fund raising drive!

    Yeah, everyone knows you can't run crappy forums software for less than a quarter million a year.

  3. Something tells me Jim Robinson makes a lot of money tricking these idiots into thinking it costs a lot of money to run a circa 1990's message board.

  4. I love how dadbwo tries to bring some reasonable complaints to JimRob about communicating more and JimRob's response is basically FOAD.

    Reasonable people on FR? Unheard of!

  6. It can't possibly cost $300,000 per year to run FR. JR is a tyrant and a con artist. He's emotionally unstable and so inconsistent as to be a hypocrite.
