Why was it down, upgrades or some sort of attack?

I was helpless without all the people here telling me what to buy and when.

Did anybody watch the markets to see if the absence of hype and fud made a difference?

Seriously though the site being down prevented me from doing some important communication and stuff like that, so I appreciate it even more now.

Actually I saw that a price increase was coming before bitcointalk went down(I can read the market a little bit), I was even thinking about making a thread about it, since I was pretty sure that time.

It's sad that we don't even have hdds supporting SMART for that ammount of money that site earns from ADs and VIP. I don't think it's an small ammount.

I'm not much of a forum user in general, but Bitcoitalk is the best I have seen. If it had been gone forever, it would have been missed. The designers of this whole forum app have a good feel for what people want and need in a forum.

Guys on C-CEX were saying that it was a 300 gb DDOS attack. Don't know for sure.

Nope, just RAID array failure. DDOS wouldn't cause data loss.

SQL injection attack happened :)

This was an attack to cause raid to fail.  Yes it has been done before

Whoa, I was having withdrawal symptoms for a little while there!   :-\

A full day off, is good though, not so compulsive trying to read every thread and a good reboot from the site overall.

Sure, I see some of my posts from the last day are gone, but 24 hours is really nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Kudos Bitcointalk staff for bringing back the site intact for the most part.

Haha sheesh I hope we have no more problems like that

I wouldn't count on that, not based on Bitcointalk's twitter feed:

https://twitter.com/bitcointalk

Alot of instances of downtime, DDOS attacks, and service or hardware issues, but I'm sure they're working on a more longterm fix for reliability.

According to official bitcointalk twitter account there was a disk failure.
