You retarded faggots. The fact that the threads were still around meant they were still somewhat active and people were still "contributing" to them. An archive is not the same thing. It's a record of what has been said in the past, but because those threads are now gone, new information (regardless of "quality") can't be added to them.

How old were the oldest threads?

>>992922
Restoring the threads would be nice but note that you can always make a new thread and repost the content from the archived one.

That's not really the same as the schizo that posted a shitload of content to it. It was a pretty good resource for people.

>>992924
Gunt was easily the biggest loss, from 2022 and had 170-ish posts. Most of the other threads though that were next oldest was 2023 which had general help threads for the biggest programs like Houdini, Blender, and Maya but the biggest losses were for niche topics like modeling in 3D and one guy detailing his journey from zero in 3D and that had a lot of beginner resources. Most of the thread though were from this year for better or worse so we can rebuild, it will just take some time.

>>992922

Ok I forgive you.
Can you get hiro to do something new with the site though? It's been years since this site had some real TLC.

>>992935
At least there's one thread I'm glad is gone. That one, the bizarre and useless one, you know.

>>992941
I don't care, slower is better especially for topics like this. I will sooner rather this board get wiped than it going the way of /ck/ and /sci/.
>>992943
Yeah but it's inevitable you'll always have those types of threads on an imageboard, slow or fast boards. It's good though that /3/ has been pretty high quality for the most part and knows when to have fun and not and captures some of that old spirit back that I've only been able to get from some altchans. Can't really say that for much of the website these days. I am also lucky that one of the other small boards I browsed was spared and survived this wipe.

We will never truly know why.

>>992956
You do it then.

>>992919
>>992925
If the mods weren't lazy AND fucking incompetent, they'd just write a script to restore the board contents from one of the archives. archived.moe even offers JSON data, which is extremely easy to parse.

>>992960
more than incompetent they're subhuman retards

>>992960
Imagine thinking that the mods were even hired for their technical abilities. They were hired for how well they bootlicked and been nepohired by moot and kept that position under Hiro if they wanted to. If we had competent technical mods, none of this would've happened and we would actually get post-mortem reports of what went wrong and what can be prevented in the future. Saying sorry is just covering their asses after the fact and since we now know they have no safeguards for a situation like this, there is nothing to prevent something similarly happening in the future.

>>992964
You're thinking wrong about this. 4chan isn't like some company that does productive stuff. The mods are just glorified oldfags that came into power by sucking off moot. There isn't even a paid developer. I suspect some of the mods know PHP/SQL/HTML/JS a little and sometimes mess with the 4chan file a little (it's probably still a single PHP script mostly), and the result is what happened today.

>>992964
I'm hearing people say it might've been some /g/fag making a bomb threat

Yes, that is explicitly what I said in the 2nd sentence. 4chan isn't a business despite it being structured like one and that is all kinds of fucked up when Hiro is explicitly using the website as a passive money maker. They haven't updated their website advertising stats in a long time and most websites would kill for these stats today, the only issue is the unfiltered nature of the website hence the adverts being terrible.
>>992968
It was most likely that. Linking the source of that speculation for posterity. Basically, credible threat and someone fatfingering thus the current situation.

I think it was Sonya who did it.

>>992981
me too anon

My theory on what happened:
Rogue janny
Reasoning:
Stickies and archives survived, only threads a janny could delete were deleted

>>992985
Can jannies delete entire boards at once? It's not like they got deleted in sequence.

>>992985
my theory is /pol/ needed more drive space, so they nuked several boards and re-allocated the drive space from them to /pol/ and then made a thread going "oopsie woopsie we made a fucky wucky :(" It makes sense when you consider the head mod being a retarded /pol/nigger

>>992987
How much fucking space can 4chan possibly take up? It's plaintext and pictures that self-purges
You could probably fit the entire site at any one time on a single 8T drive, and that's being extremely generous.

>>992986
Kind of, you can delete multiple posts at once with checkboxes. Why else would the stickies and archive survive?

>>992989
I was actually under the impression that mods couldn't purge threads at all and only mods could do that.

>>992990
that anon may be talking out of his ass. I never been a janny but I do know jannies don't have any actual power, all they can do is decide if this should go to a mod for further review. They can give a temporary post ban but that's about all I know

>>992992
they can 100% delete posts, I'm not sure if they can delete actual threads

>>992987
>drive space
Fucking bullshit. Even if, they would have deleted the internal archives before that.

>>992990
>>992992
You can read a preview of the janny rules on the janny application form. It's been a long time since they had open positions though so I don't remember exactly.

More evidence for my theory:
There where reports for outages before & while it happened - https://downdetector.com/status/4chan/
If this was a database malfunction then there wouldn't be any lag, however if the php script was taking a while to process all the posts it would lag.

"We made an oopsie woopsie fucky wucky hope you don't mind" is kind of a staggeringly lame response to what appears to be throwing an entire fucking 42U rack into the shredder. You 100% need a data retention mechanism for deleted content just to meet glowie requests for user data, "b-b-bubu-but we don't have the storage space for it" is incredibly difficult to believe. Did you sell the hard drives on Jewbay for crack or something?

>>992988
the last time to my knowledge that 4chan's storage was elaborated on by mods, it was stored on a single mac mini server of some kind

>>993038
Wasn't that in like 2009 or something

Bros in most cases mods are neither technical people, nor do they have any tools or administrative rights to directly access database or server's ssh. They couldn't run scripts like those.
Imageboard is:
server hosts imageboard engine, only admin with ssh password can access it directly
imageboard engine uses database, database hosted on server, only admin can access it directly
imageboard engine has some built-in very limited tools for moderation, basically additional buttons on the site, mods can influence site and database only by pressing those buttons, no other way
they can't do anything to database directly, and they can't do anything to imageboard engine directly
they are kind of power users

>>992988
Threads don't immediately recycle themselves anymore when they expire, they stay in the system for a couple days. It's kind of 4chans own mini archives, one of few things hiroshomoot changed, along with adding some extra boards. While it's not a big deal on slow boards it makes fast boards like /pol/ and /b/ take up exponentially more space. It's probably the reason hiro migrated 4chan over to cloudfare hosting over the past few years, the new feature is probably way too expensive and they're dependent on the cloudfare compression services.

>>993103
So how the fuck did they wipe 19 boards?
