As many of you realised, Friendster has been facing some serious technical problem after 2 days of maintainance or so? What a maintainance~ and I happen to see the host paste some rather useless FAQs on their webpage.
Here are some FAQs to help address your concerns:
What happened to my friends?
Currently, the number of friends in the friends list is being displayed incorrectly.
nonsense, you are not answering my question at all
Are my friends lost permanently?
No. The data for all friend connections is intact and is not lost.
ok fine
When can this be fixed?
Friendster is currently working on this problem and we hope to have this fixed within 24 hours.
oh, i saw this problem since 1.5 days ago
Can I still add friends while the problem has not yet been fixed?
Yes, users can still add new friends and use other features of the site.
sorry hor, i think nobody wants to go to a still not fixed website that had people badly traumatised
What caused this problem?
There was a building-wide power outage at the QTS / Globix data center in Sunnyvale, California, USA where Friendster’s servers are co-located, along with about 50 other customers. As a result, the memory caching of data was affected. Since Friendster has 85 million users, the cache is taking a considerable amount of time to build. Once the cache has been completely built, all friends will re-appear.
lots of reasoning wor. see if you still wanna boast about international friends and the number of users you have. must have received loads of complaints for the past few days.
