Yup. It's down. The Free Republic II yahoo group seems to have been hacked as well. It was no longer on my list and says I'm banned.

Someone running a DoS on it?

And I'd say welcome, poser, but you've been here longer than me!

The counter was reset at some point. I drop by and read once in a while, particularly when FR is down.
