View Full Version : How long untill oink is back
I know their are so many threads about oink but I'm sitting at my computer unable to sleep so I thought I would make this poll!!!
and please state why?
Never, most likely. Their servers were confiscated, so I'm told.

How expensive were those? is it something that will be impossible to rebuy?

Don't think money will be an issue, rather getting the DB, and rebuilding the tbdev code?...

Servers are the least of their worries right now.

I've not seen such an outpouring of separation angst ever. Consider Oink a hand in a glass of water. Something else will come up, and hopefully something safer and more respectful to users and uploaders and the rest of BT land. My guess, from reading the comments, is that they considered themselves greater than they were. Vanity topples even the greatest giants.
the same thing keeps coming to my mind...... "Backup"
as much I think they do indeed have a backup somewhere its the fact that with 180,000 members they would need allot of servers to hold everyone.
just say they comeback at the end of the month then everyone at the same time logs on which would tend happen. wow talk about stress on the servers.
its going to take an another army of servers just to hold everyone!

that's exactly what happened to demonoid when it choked up back in July(??). When the server finally came back online the users flooded the load so bad that it crashed again. It took WEEKS before everything (forums, etc) was back in place.

Well since it was such a huge website they must have some kind of backup database someplace where it is only accesible for most trusted people.

It will come back, that's for sure...but will probably take 1-3 weeks.

may be how RTS did it? send an email and invite to PU+ or users fulfiling certain criteria...but that won't probably happen with OiNK. I think OiNK would get back how demonoid did...everything how it was.
And YES, i am willing to (i am more than willing to) go back when they come back.

NEVER -- if anyone remembers what happened when teh old Tbits shut its doors ... they came back but it si not the same ... I feel it will be the same @ the new oinks ... it may come back but it wont be the same ...
as for the servers did they not have 3-4 massive servers? i member reading about them in thier forums but forget the exact stats (i just kinda skimmed it) were they not like quad core or somethin like that ....
I imagine the DB is backed up since they run a back up on the site everyday @ 8am local time ... they shut the site down for 10 minutes to run the backup ... so i imagine the backup was stored offsite every few weeks ... and even if they did nto have the backups, i imagine the coder kept a copy of the code somewere else so the basic code should be in place somewere ...

Not in this life - span, I'm afraid...Not with this name, not with this huge amount of content. Emergence of some clones is most probable, however.

They have had the guy in custody for Christ's sake. If It did come back up, it would not be under the administration of the previous staff, and probably not with the consent of the previous staff either.
I think it's possible that they'll come back but not for a few months, it all depends I suppose it's hard to speculate at this early stage.

I really dont no, in my country we have the same problem with the biggest tracker... and 2 or 3 months later a new tracker under a other name is born... ;)
But Oink its simply to big... maybe one day we can see something like oink online again.

Doubt they ever will come back. once they get busted they usually stay dead.
