For only a third of a mil per year, what do you expect - uptime? Yes, a new angle is being worked to flog the long con, so man the barricades and Prayers Up!
..............
Wanted to avoid running a thread on this, but seeing as how it continues dragging on, guess I'd better. The DOS attacker obviously knows by now that he's hurting us.
Have no idea when he/they started the attack, but we discovered it a few days ago. And John has been fighting it ever since. Says it's like whack-a-mole. Every time John gets him blocked or knocked out, he pops up again with a new modified attack. John thought he had a good solution a couple days ago, and we did enjoy one night and most of the next day with good response time, but then the guy popped up again with a fresh attack.
Don't mind telling you that John is getting very frustrated over this. In fact, the last time we discussed it tonight, he finally told me he could do better if I'd just get off the phone and let him work.
Praying John gets him permanently blocked soon and then we can get back to the more mundane hardware and systems problems that have been plaguing us lately.
And I'm sorry about being sorry. Again. Seems like every month and every week a new problem. But we're stubborn and we're not going to quit. We've managed to solve lots of problems over the last twenty years and we'll solve these too. Eventually. Praying not too many of our participants quit either. We absolutely can't get a long without you.
Hang in there everyone, we'll get this behind us soon.
Also, there are some (not to name names, Boomer) who are claiming we make "millions" off this site. If so, it must be government millions, because we don't see much of it. Nowhere close to millions anyway.
Our estimated ongoing budget of expenses is linked on our donate page. I suppose if you total up the gross income for the last 20 years and assume we have no expenses it could add up to a couple million. But anyone whose been in business for any period of time, knows that's not likely.
There are also posters (Boomer again among others) claiming they could do this on cloud for just a few hundred per year. Well, maybe so. I wish them luck.
Prayers up.

I will never forget when JR gave me the final boot about 15 years ago. It had to do with this BS about protecting Israel which is not something I agree with in any way, shape or form. The USA government has no obligation to protect anyone but our own, right here in America; even if a treaty exists, we can walk away from any foreign nation or group of nations.
So, fuck him. Let him rot in the long tyme squalor he has built over the years because of his unfounded biased opinions and not dealing with FACT. I am confident there are thousands that are angered by the mutherfucker.

I predict that Boomer and others who question the ongoing scam will be summarily banned.

FR has become slower than the second coming of Christ and progressively impeded. They need a good programmer in there to refurbish it.

They have John Robinson and Jim Robinson, these are fantastick people that do nothing but maintain FR everyday.
How dare you!

But we're stubborn
I'll give Robinson that one. I was banned in 2007 for criticizing George H.W. Bush Sr. And that was it. Banned. No reinstatement forever. I asked. Never got any response.
He's stubborn.
Stubborn people generally think that being stubborn is a virtue.

An estimated budget? Why not just post what their actual expenses have been, going back years so the donors know what they're propping up besides unlimited breadsticks at the local Olive Garden?

It sounds like the Dauphin is getting uppity with Da King. Possibly frustrated with the performance of the Packard-Bell 486SX server running Windows NT v3.0 server.
It sounds like the Viking Kitties are circling this user Boomer like a pack of vultures. Someone here with a freeper sleeper account should drop him a note that he's welcome here when RimJob finally bans him.

I wonder how many more millions will have to be raised before Johnny figures out how to code an Edit option?
20 years on, they're still cluttering up the joint posting "I didn't mean what I posted 10 minutes ago - typo!"

I thought the same thing - an "estimated budget" is "actual bullshit" in their case.
It's about a thousand bucks a day in demanded revenue - where does it GO, Hopalong? That buys at least two servers EVERY WEEK if that's what's needed.
Last time, they got about a three-week respite between heavy-handed begging sessions - let's see how they do with everybody on vacation.
