Friendster goes loopy

[andypaul]

The Wife just logged into her friendster after she could not log on yesterday.

Now half her friends have vanished anyone else having problems?

[tiger@tigress]

Got the same problem...

[andypaul]

Looks like they had a big problem.

Hopefully for you and the Wife its sorted soon, looks like they dont back up the infomation very often.

[lizaphil]

Hi Joe. Got a better job now - pays brazil nuts instead of peanuts! :D

However, don't get paid until end of November so struggling badly this month. (Have you ever tried to cut a grain of rice in half? You can do anything when you're broke:xxgrinning--00xx3:)

Did you lose your job?

Thanks for your concern and friendship mate.

Al.:)

[joebloggs]

Did you lose your job?



yes work went bust, I'm on first name terms now with the people at the gov insolvency service (4 times in the last 7yrs :NoNo:) :rolleyes:

I was very lucky to get 2 job offers the same week, and started work the week later, looking back it was lucky we went bust 5 months ago, because if it was now, it would be a lot more difficult to find a job now..

well your slowly moving up AL, you'll be a head teacher or president of the phils soon :rolleyes: , you'd get my vote :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I dont think it is ongoing maintance i belive that was either an outrage or someone pressed the wrong button:doh

I have a feeling a lot of these social networking sites will find they run into problems soon. Loads of people use them but if advertising and income dry up they try to cut costs but maintain a service which is still growing then there will be problems.

The Wife is quite upset as she had just got hold of people she knows years back and now in a blink of an eye they are gone.
Very hard to back up friendster your self:NoNo:

[jbt]

friendster is still not working properly :bigcry:

[Mrs.JMajor]

yeah,my daughter had the same problem from 800 turn into 6 people left

Maybe I might get to head teacher again, but I could NEVER be president of the Phils. 'cos I'm not a criminal!!

:cwm34::NoNo:

:Erm: Is it possible the system was hacked or the back up crashed down:omg:

[amyburple]

I don't have any idea sis... huhuhuhu, It's very frustrating really!

[KeithD]

It seems strange that across the internet complaints of lost friends are in the majority concerning Philippine folk!

http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=50&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=friendster+maintenance

Nearly ever 'friend' problem is related in some way to Filipinas.

[LEAHnew]

Does it mean we need to start again adding the hundreds of friends lost:yikes::bigcry::bigcry::furious3:

[amyburple]

As you know its used far more over there and many of the other major users may use it in there own language.
Its growing at a tremdous rate like many of the social networks.

Be intresting (well to Mr Admin and I) how they recover as Facebook and others are trying to expand in the area and maywell win over fans and users if they dont recover from this outrage soon and with a good result for the User.

I know for many of the Users on here its a Life line which is so important to Friends and Family, so i hope its sorted for all of you and my Wife:Help1:

[andypaul]

Just logged into my Wifes account


and just below the photographs of contacts is this message

Your friends list may be inaccurately displayed. Please be assured your friends list will be accurate soon. - Friendster Team

So hopefully

It will be sorted soon, i presume they have used an older back up or a regular maintance routine went wrong.

Im not an expert Im sure Mr Admin can advise you better.

But on Websites the information is held on a bigger version of your PC and Harddisk.

Like all users should they should regularly back up there harddisk so if it goes wrong or the operating system (like windows Xp etc for you) throws a wobbly or gets a Virus. Also important for both websites and users is to back up your data. For most users thats your pictures, songs and documents. That and any unique data such as contacts, emails on your outlook, basically things you changed and are unique to you.

Behind the pretty pictures is what they call a database (ask joe bloggs he likes them:D) which holds all the info like a huggee address book. so it looks like the operating system is ok as you can see the screen but the information its looking for is not correct on the database.

They can reload the this information and any professional system should be quite upto date. So if it crashed on tuesday they should have a backup from sunday or monday (on the scale of friendster i dont how often they bacup with out asking a few contacts)

It looks like they either reloaded the wrong info back on or someone pressed the wrong buttons.

So hopefully they have a much more current recording of your info loaded back on soon.

ps i dont know exactly whats happened here only the friendster admin team do (we hope) just trying to give a simple version for those who are im sure quite upset. So hopefully very soon you can be in contact with all your friends again:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Heck, you lot make it sound as it is the end of the world.....................:Erm:


it seems strange to me.

But My wife is 25 and she cant go and see her friends everyday, calling them all is expensive as is texting.
She has got hold of friends she has lost touch with since she moved to uni and then moved abroad.

One friend she got back in touch with a month later they arranged to meet when she flew into London as a Airhostess this made my Wifes month showing a friend round london. Due to time differences and the cost of international calls friendster messages made this far easier.

She also found out a classmate lives in the Uk as A nurse, I think his Wife who she also knows is joining him. Another friend is coming to study in the Uk. All this due to friendster.

She also loves looking at all the pictures of her friends and helps the changes be not so bad when she goes back. She keeps up with all the gossip and jokes. so feels apart fo the group.

It may seem odd to us but its a life line for many of our spouses.

It also keeps them out of the shops, not nagging us and them happy with out expensive phone calls dos me:xxgrinning--00xx3:

If i wanna watch a football match i just suggest friendster and the wife is off on there transfixed for 90 plus mintues:D

[amyburple]

Well said Andy .... :xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3::xxgrinning--00xx3:
