It was just a day but it felt like a week.

[traxx187]

It was just a day but it felt like a week.

yes yes it did i was was like walking back and fourth my girl was like wtf is wrong i was like bitcointalk.... and walked away 

[Powerpuff]

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

[runpaint]

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.

[cyrusb]

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

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

[rustynailer]

Now we know what life would be like without bctalk

[Arnab biswas]

i am glad that its came back....i really missed it a lot...

[gkv9]

That was so feeling embarrassing   whilst the most visited and active forum for Bitcoin was down for a whole day...

Was feeling dead without it... Wake up early at 4 am yesterday and even today to post, but seen that this was offline... Now, m totally alive...

[0nlyBTC]

I'm getting a weird warm fuzzy feeling being back.

[traxx187]

[12coins]

[xandry]

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

Ah but this one is in Bitcoin discussion on a bitcoin forum

I expect this to be the one of several more similar threads for the day lol

[Madness]

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

It was simply Disk failure so no worries
@OP I personally didn't feel the time because I was at school and now I'am on weekend , so really glad that's it's ON again otherwise I would have nothing to do ,addicted to this forum <3

[irfan_pak10]

Omg yesterday, no its like past weak, nooo its like past month its down. No its me that was down. I was just after every minutes cliking on the reconnect button. But still could not connect to that page.....lol

[Southpaw0]

I tried logging on a few times throughout the day and it wouldn't let me.. Finally bitcointalk is back up!

Time goes by so much slower when you can't get on your favorite forum 

[pawel7777]

Good to see the forum up and running again, but shame a lot of posts/threads have been lost forever.

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.

[haploid23]

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.

[calfries]

I think its pretty clear that this site was attacked by anti-Bitcoin entities.

Nice to see that it didn't work!

You are wrong.

It was a hardware failure.

Check the topic in meta:

[coinz19]

Nice to see your back!

[findftp]

I'm very happy the forum is back.
Makes you aware of your bitcointalk addiction if you have one (I have )

[BADecker]

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.

[Troonetpt]

It's down almost a whole day.

[Guido]

do we know why forum was down?

[opticbit]

I didn't have to re-login

[Powerpuff]

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

[pawel7777]

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

[GamingOn]

Yes I missed the time I was away from Bitcointalk
I am new around here but this place is very useful so please don't go away for 24 hour again

[duckydonald]

do we know why forum was down?

site was attacked!  

SQL injection attack happened

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

[bornil267645]

I am really glad it came back, without this site my earnings were hopeless. But it ate 9 of my posts though.

[BitCoinNutJob]

good to be back, reddit bitcoin is ok but this place has a much better subject range.

[SargeR33]

Part of me expected the worst! Good to be back!

[Ektra]

Good, was starting to have separation anxiety...

[ChuckBuck]

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.

[LiteCoinGuy]

forum to daaa moon!

[viboracecata]

I just want to know who would do that DDOS attack and what they aim for?

[sethminer14]

Haha sheesh I hope we have no more problems like that

[ChuckBuck]

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.

[okae]

welcome back!!

yesterday was a long day without checking bitcointalk forum

Good, was starting to have separation anxiety...

jaja same here, but as you can see everything is working ok!! as espected

[1Referee]

I was blaming my 3G connection while being outside, but the error wasn't on my side 

Good to have it back.

[pooya87]

welcome back, and don't go away like that without telling me. i missed you :/

[kolloh]

Glad everything is back up and running. I was missing my bitcointalk fix.

[choZin]

hmm its only a day but i feel like a year
im so lonely without bitcointalk 

[commandrix]

So I'm not the only one who had problems getting to Bitcointalk yesterday. Good to know the very sharp IT professionals got their servers back up and running.

[traxx187]

lol alot of people really didnt know what happened to the site huh?

[randy8777]

it's back up again. hope it stays up now. there is no other site or social network that can replace bitcointalk.

[ChuckBuck]

it's back up again. hope it stays up now. there is no other site or social network that can replace bitcointalk.

There is always Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin

But I do like the characters here in BCT much better.

[fritz]

Just in time, the Bitcoin price is on the move!

[axel2078]

I wondered what was going on with the site yesterday.  The browser kept telling me that my connection attempt was rejected and to check my network settings.  I thought my IP had been banned or something.

[LiteCoinGuy]

is that the new forum? wow, looks like the old one 

[50ouncebrew]

Hello

[idecable]

Bigups to the system admin for getting it fixed.

 

LONG LIVE BITCOINTALK

[PaulPierce]

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

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

Yup indeed..It was disk failure.!! Man I hope it never happens again.!! Had a really sad time without BTC talk.!! eventhough Im new here.!

[SirChiko]

Rofl guys stop making these theories, it was stated that ig was hardware fail and not an attack.

[traxx187]
