Have posts been lost in the past minutes?
-
Judging by reports on this thread, the site went kaput less than two hours ago. So, bearing in mind that a) it’s a public holiday, b) west coast USA is still waking up and c) restoring backups is going to take higher priority than making forum posts, I wouldn’t expect to hear from any administrators just yet.

I am making all the right noises in all the right places – as I am sure many others are too.

I have been able to download backups of most of my blog to my own computer by going to Yahoo Search and entering my blog’s URL. They had a lot cached, almost everything except the past two days. Google cache didn’t offer much. Just in case…
-
Hmm…has anyone tried reposting? I have–and it says “post saved,” I selected publish, etc.–but nothing even shows up then, so I guess it must be something serious.
-
All the blogs are down so I am sure it is somthing big-Ah! I know I am not sounding like a genius here.lol
I remember reading somewhere on the wordpress forum that they have multiple backups. I am sure, we will be back again. Pretty soon I hope.

Well I’m just relieved that I wasn’t haxx0rzed :p I submitted a feedback, then came here to see if there were any posts…
…should have followed their request and came here first >_> ah well.
My entire blog is gone, but I’ll be patient and let the admins to their thing :)

All hail Chronotron! The rest of us should be ashamed for voicing our opinion.
What happened? DoS attack? Hardware failure? Software bug? You guys (admins) really need to do some testing on changes or get your infrastructure more resilient. A response would be nice from a recognizable name, something to show some professional courtesy. And how about investing some development time in the ability for us to download our own backups so we can go somewhere more stable…like Blogger.

All my posts are gone. All my links. My blogroll. My catagories. My flickr is still there-but it is showing someone else’s pictures.
Am I still here this AM? If my blog is gone, do I still exist, lol? -

Folks, as stated before, backups are made of each and every blog. Even the spammers get their blogs backed up. Your blog is not lost. Please kindly remember that. This is the internet. Stuff like this happens all the time. (Between system admins, we call it a backhoe problem. Someone looses their internet connection due to a backhoe taking out a wire by mistake.) As stated, backups are made on a regular basis. Us oldtimes here are pretty much used to stuff like this because it happens on occasion and we have come out of it fine.
Now please, a person plea. Stop pretending you’re all AOL users and please stop posting “Me too’s” all over the place.
And to those who brag about other sites like Blogger being up 100% of the time, all I have to say is “Yeah, right” and go digging for that thread about how many times Blogger has been taking off line due to DoS allacks themselves.

The sky is falling. The sky is falling. Not! :)
@Chronotron is right, chill. The data is there, it is just that the ‘connectoid’ thingies to hook it all up seem to have run amuck. Somebody hid the easter eggs too well. :)
It has not been that long, and these things usually take some time. Go have some tea and a biscuit, then a nice long chat with your Mum!
All will be right in the WordSTRESSed world soon. ;)
-
And a friendly reminder that you should have been making backups anyway. That’s just common sense. :)
-
man, i hope this gets fixed soon. I freaked out when I saw this. Good thing blogs are backed up….
-
I’d just like to know it will likely be up and running again. I’m assuming my blog is just offline and backed up, and not just disappeared forever….
thanks.

I only started my blog three days ago & it vanished this morning 5 minutes after I showed it to my wife. Freakin’ out–lousy way to start Easter–but misery loves company! I thought I was the only one…

drmike: When do you think it’ll be back online? And has any backups been made since SUNDAY 12:01 AM CET ?
