Obama announced during the state of the union address that he was going to increase taxes on all forum operators and give that money to the newbie accounts.

True story.

A failed disk is better than a DoS attack or hacked forum, so I'm glad.

Good to see a recent backup recovered with very little loss of data.

[bitspill]

WoodCollector was getting tired of the accusations so he took down the forums with the hopes that everyone would forget the whole thing. Plan failed because enough of the accusations were within the backup and restored.

[notserp]

finally back!

I learned about RAID 1+0 after this.  I thought RAID 5 was better but I never heard of 1+0 until this outage.  So did more than one disk fail?  I've operated 3-disk SQL databases and had one fail.  Just swapped in a new drive and it ran like a champ with no down time.

Doesn't seem that complicated but who knows maybe there's something different.

[Fernandez]

Its alive!

Suffered without my daily dose. Had to do some real work

[Gleb Gamow]

Welcome back Bitcointalk!

Yeah, yeah we know, the disk supposedly died.

I've got an extra large roll of tinfoil, so people let's figure out what really happened.


~BCX~

I'll play! It seems my recent Laxo Trade posts have all been deleted, whereas posts I made afterward are still in place.

[Gleb Gamow]

WTF!

Bruno, you are no longer allowed to search this forum.

 

Seriously, this is what I'm met with, guys.

Searching is temporarily disabled

Of course, I could try to search for somebody that wasn't arrested, yet not mentioned on this forum to see if that works.

See official thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=932315.0

[Gleb Gamow]

It doesn't appear a whole lot of data was lost.

But I can already imagine the conspiracies being formed about this incident and the BCT subpoenas.


~BCX~

The OP clearly stated that this is tinfoil hat thread, and don my tight.

I thought they never post on their Twitter account but when I checked (when the forum was down) and saw this :
"The 1+0 RAID array containing http://bitcointalk.org  failed. Currently setting up on a new disk/OS and restoring from a backup. 12-24 hours."
"Some disks seem to have failed. Expect extended downtime. I will post updates here."

After we are back up , Theymos posted the following : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=932315.0
I'am personally really glad because we wasen't hacked ... It's bad but not bad as getting hacked

I like this one the most
I'm going with someone here posted something they didn't mean too and decided to shut down the whole server to make it as if this never happened.

[DiamondCardz]

Alright. It's not a massive amount of data loss, anyway.

This coul not be true.
Really too strange for a server environment.
I dont think bitcointalk run on commodore 64!!

Hope some detais come out.

We never know the true extension of the data loss(maybe things that are not accessible to common users, like deleted posts and editions, got lost too...)

[DoubleTrouble]

Was either Obama or them nasty bankers

It's actually run on Lego and broken dreams. Theymos has already provided details of what happend.

[railzand]

wangbus is now a North Korean spy. Kim kidnapped his Maltese Terrier called Pokemon. The ransom for poor Pokey was 250 Bitcoins or a wooden dildo, whichever was more valuable on preev.com at the time, but negotations went on so long Pokemon's captors cooked him up with some sage and basil.

[ABitNut]

You're all not trying hard enough...


The outage was due to an hostile takeover. They took theymos and critical staff into custody, move the servers and are now bringing everything back up pretending nothing happened. Once the dust settles they will use this forum to subvert the bitcoin community. A bit before the bitcointalk.org operation they already took control of Bitstamp (under the guise of a minor hack).

Watch for tells as even their experts will not be able to mimic the style of theymos with 100% accuracy. Open your eyes people!!!1!!

But won't the foil hat block our telepathic link? I need a hat but can't reach you.

Guess I'll have to get my hats from Al, http://youtu.be/urglg3WimHA?t=1m13s

What really happened?

 I tried to ban Gleb Gamow and the NSA came after us.

This forum is pretty old, imagine if they didn't replace new disk every few months, the wear and tear is enough to degrade/corrupt a disk. Two disk failing at the same time is pretty low but possible as they have been running at the same period of time and most likely having same amount of wear and tear. Raid 5 isn't recommend for large disk, bitcointalk probably function on large hard drives due to the amount of post and other things.

[anonimus]

Thts a great news , its back up now

Rofl , you make me laugh each time
It's funny how each time something bad happens to the forums , you relate it to banning People . You really like banning people don't you ?

How did woodcollector take it down?
He isnt satoshi?

[DannyHamilton]

Oops.  Sorry about that everyone.

But, in my defense, if you see a big red button with a label that says "Do NOT push", then it's really difficult to overcome the urge to see what will happen when you push it.

All I know is - I got a load of stuff done on my honey-do list - amazing.

Looks like the server had a mini-crash. It was down for five minutes just seconds ago and is now back up again. The guys at Reddit even mentioned it:

It could be related to theymos rooting around the files for further investigation.

Site doesn't go down too often, so I didn't know what happened for a while, good to see this back up.  Has a lot of good information and community.
