We're back up!

Sacrilege's picture




 

After killing the db server, and suffering through domain issues to boot -- we're back up and fully functional. If you have any login problems, let us know: everything should be working. Also, all email should be directed to @zerohedge.org now, NOT zerohedge.com.

Update: We just switched over from the backup server data, which restored all the missing December posts. Unfortunately, it ended up in a loss of all comments since last night. We are confident our readers' sense of expression will not be blunted by this minor glitch.

Oh man,

I must be traveling, again, in my parallel universe.  I hate that.  Just moments ago, I was on a lolololol role, shaking under the pile of coats in the back of my closet with my nonconforming outlet after having abandoned my best effort to be a gentleman and hold the Euro bimbo's hair back out of the pile of hacked up Euros there on the ground where she finally passed out...

...and now suddenly....It's yesterday?

Oh man, none of any of this can be good but, let me guess, the mirror ball is whizzing around and the bankers are chucking back free drinks bought by Joe Taxpayer and an FBI agent is about to show up to take me away?

Bueller....Bueller...

As this site is controlled chaos, nobody ever runs Zero Hedge. But to answer your question from the standpoint of an equity allocation, no HLS does not and never will run this site. In fact, we don't even know who HLS is.

I was positive that I was banned.  I certainly deserve it for my ridiculous, useless comments.

For the record, in case my precious postings got lost:

1)I am a firm believer in Bob Prechter

2)As such, I've accumulated a pile of FRN's instead of the ounces of metal you douchebags seem to espouse.

3)The Dow will eventually go to 600 or so.

4)Bonds and commodities will crash as well-get out now.

I'm glad we are all back, safe and sound.

Safe and sound?  What the hell are you talking about?  I'm in the back of my closet covered in layer upon layer of winter coats trying really hard not to laugh...which is really hard today as Tyler is just killin' it...because if I do LOL, I know that even an FBI guy could find me.

And what with all the lying and stealing going on right now, from Wall Street to...well...whatever street the Fed is on, I'm pretty sure no one on this site will ever be safe until all ZH members can and do properly explain daily why everything should make the Roach Motel [SPY] go up EVERY SINGLE DAY...

I read on Turds blog last night about the "outage" at ZH... Some guy was saying they had been hacked...

I had ZH open in another tab, and at no point could I not get to it. I noticed that some of the posts were acting funny (they showed me not logged in) while others showed me as logged in. I decided not to post anything and just read.

Eventually someone posted something about the .org working but the .com domain was in DNS Limbo.

How did I do this?

I took my own advice from a previous post... I dunno if TD will like me giving this info out but here it goes:

You can always use the IP Address of the ZH servers to get to ZH.

They have 2 Servers (as far as my half assed enumerations tell me)

I will list them as links below:

http://188.126.66.66/

http://188.126.66.68/

There is an ip that resolves to zerohedge.ch but I am not able to reach it via Comcast... I will check it out later.
