AOOO is a website where teenage girls write about their two favorite e-ecelebs having lots of gay sex and teenage boys self-insert as anime harem protagonist. They had a ~12hr unscheduled maintenance today, which turned into an unscheduled maintenance of two to four weeks.How is it possible to fuck up so bigly that you need an entire month to unfuck things but also not lose data? Bi-yearly manual backup onto an HDD stored in your mom's basement?
probably was RAID 0 with backups on amazon permafrost frozen iceberg
>>110195905lmaoI bet they caved to vibe-coding utter slop
>>110195905> hey chatgpt, how do i maintain web?
>>110195905>taking the website offline for 2 weeks to stop the Malfoid flood
>todayit's been spuriously giving out 500s on filtered tag searches for weeks nowsomething about their backend or load balancing or some other infrastructure bullshit is fucked>>110195963as far as I can tell the AO3 website has not changed at all in the past few years. there's really not much work required in hosting a bunch of fanfic smut. the best use for vibing for them is probably the insane tagging system, not website features
>tfw read the shittiest fanfics imaginable all day long when growing up>all the fandoms i liked are pretty much dead;_;
>>110196049new AO3 redesign imminent
Don't they make a point about the site being maintained by female staff?
>>110196240fanfiction sites are one of the few websites in existence that actually have f*moids that are somewhat competent technicallythe rest is mostly furries
>>110195905>AOOONobody calls it that. You just had to put AO3 in the OP but this task proved to be too hard.Anyway, why isn't anybody releasing the tons of content scraped from this website? You know there are at least a couple of guys who have it.
>>110196408>why isn't anybody releasing the tons of content scraped from this website?Release it where?
>>110196501Torrent, mega, mediafire, archive.orgText content can be compressed incredibly well
>>110196530Can't all the text of wikipedia compress down to a few gig?
>>110196530Okay but who is going to download terabytes of badly written smut?The whole value of ao3 is that it's searchable, so you only pick what you want. Doubtlessly there's a lot of copies of the whole thing on various data hoarders' machines, but it's not in a format that leads itself to actually replacing the website, even temporarily
I thought you said AWOO but you meant AO3.This is terrible I need femboy yowie.
>>110196548>The total number of [English language Wikipedia] pages is 66,501,626. Articles make up 10.91 percent of all pages on Wikipedia. As of 3 September 2026, the size of the current version including all articles compressed is about 26.80 GB without media>expands to over 105 GB when decompressedYeah it can.>>110196562It wouldn't be terabytes, and you can package them in a way so you can download only what you want with torrents. But some people would download and host the whole thing forever.Tag searching is also trivial to implement with a simple sqlite db and a frontend.
>>110195905wtf, it only hosts fucking text. Is it possible to be this incompetent?
>>110196645yea kiwix wikipedia archive is about 105gb and it includes media
>>110195905They could lose all their data and at the same time nothing of value, who the fuck reads this autistic shit?
>>110196716Me, I even write it.
>>110196716me
They probably took it down for NaNoWriMo.
>ao3 enforced no nut november
>>110196562>who is going to download terabytes of badly written smut?I guarantee you AO3 has been scraped dozens of times for LLM training. Even I did this a year or two when finetuning models was popular.
>>110196728>>110196730>>110196748grim
wild guess but they do have a pdf export option and pdf is notoriously buggy even before the age of llm assisted vuln discovery, wouldn't be surprised if that's a contributing factor
yeah ao3 exports a lot of pdf content
>>110196796beyond me why everyone doesn't just limit support to a minimal subset of pdf unless they absolutely require javascript-enabled interactive 3d models or something
>>110195905>How is it possibleThose that give a shit about e-celebs like you are terminally retarded that's how.
>>110196861nobody but you brought up e-celebs. it's a fanfiction site. it's not like the site is even managed by some big personality or something, it's ran by a nonprofit organization.
>>110195905technology? this thread smells like tech support or outright e-celeb crap.>>110197047>nobody but you brought up e-celebsnta but it's literally int he OP:>AOOO is a website where teenage girls write about their two favorite e-ecelebs
>>110197108You are even more retarded than OP. You don't know what AO3 is like.
>>110197108damn ok yes I am retarded and blindmay have something to do with the fact I am an ao3 user
fanfiction.net was superior btw
>>110195950Good point Jeff.
>>110197108anon you are the dumbest gorilla nigger in this thread
why the fuck is it down for so long?
>>110197157ff.net has too many restrictions on smut>>110195905why isnt it at least up in read-only mode? what the fuck did they do?
>>110197316 >>110197344Probably service provider pulled the plug due to the usual activist psychos organizing mass harrasment campaigns due to textual content they don't like.
>>110197437retard
>>110195905Brutal, I really feel for the goonettes out there.
>>110197437>>110197730I don't know if this is the reason they are currently down, but they absolutely have that as a recurring problem.
>>110195905>"Bro, this website hosts problematic content bro. They allow kiddie stuff, shit's nasty.">Get really excited to discover an entire WORLD of literature tailored to my tastes.>Look inside>99.9% of stories are slop written by and for 14 year old girls orgasming at the sight of two guys kissing>mfw
>>110197437Or legal troubles. Or they found an AI-detected zero-day. Or some combination.That would explain why they'd have to take so long to move; unlike, say, a random server power outage.
Fuck. I can't read my favorite smut about EPI anymore.>>110196016fpbp.
>>110198429Use the tags, brother. It's a process, but trust me. It's all there.
>>110195905Does anyone other than terminally online single millennial women give a shit?
>>110195905I thought that was what wattpad was
https://www.otwstatus.org/incidents/g12jnxck9g6hSecurity incident, the PHP exploit might have fucked them really hard
>>110200673They don't use php for the archive and patching would've been easy enough to prevent anything like this. Technically they could have been using php for something else and got hit that way.
>>>/t/1407687
>>110196647There are fanart posts or images implemented in written works.
>>110195905You are all degenerates
>>110201402yes and? You'd know that already if you weren't a newfag frognigger
>>110196587that site is also down it seems
>>110196716my wife
>escapismGet a job
>>110203144Why do you think people want to escape
>>110197344>was better>has restrictionsyes. that's the was part.
>>110198429How is someone too retarded to browse AO3? A site made for teenage girls. It literally has checkboxes to let you filter 'for' rape and underage.
Good thing I downloaded all of my favorite bestiality fanfics before it went down. How miraculous!
>>110203885...what are the best ones like?
>>110203896Draconic Temptations >How to train your dragon: mature Astrid X toothless. Blowjobs and orgies. The princess and the unicorn >What it says on the tincan. Chitinous Lunch Date>Latina housewife who practices yoga notices a giant cockroach in her basement. Consensual interspecies. A Bride and Her Steed>Bride cheats on her 12 year old husband with a horse she's had since childhood Relieving the burden. >Elden Ring: Melina x Torrenthttps://gofile.io/d/t9nOiQDJ
>>110200673It's so fucking over.The site runs on Ruby on Rails tho.>>110200730You can have a security incident even if your runtime is not vulnerable. It really isn't that hard.
>>110197157wrong, there was like 2-3 year period where they werent even able to send fucking story update notifications.
>>110195905I thought it said AOC and cock enlarged and started throbbing.I had to rub one out to get rid of it.
>>110196767Why? I write yuri smut, but why in the world would you use fanfiction for training AI? It's genuinely puzzling.
>>110207681Because the level of writing there can be entertaining. LLMs need the creativity of a 13 year old girl to be usable for the average smut consumer.
>>110196716Character X and Character Y like it up the bum and lived happily ever after. There's 99% of your site right there.
>>110195905Fuck. Audioporn it is for me for a couple of weeks then.
>>110196716it's the only place with i know that still accepts uncensored erotica
I can't survive a month without reading about Naruto and Sasuke cheating on their wives with each other.
>>110195905Really sucks that the site architecture isn't split between reading and writing.There's absolutely no reason for any security issues in the search or reading side of things. I'm guessing they found some sort of attack where massive amounts of stuff was uploaded/edited and are panicking trying to figure out how to find all of it, either that or they're just extremely paranoid and no one actually managed to change anything but theoretically could have. Or maybe the site is just garbage and they literally can't turn off logins independently of the entire site.
