Pinkbike (and fellow riders), regardless of all the awesome criticisms and bitching myself and so many others do on here, this is the best site on the internet. Where else can I write things like "That's posed!!!" or "Photoshopped." or "Norbs got robbed." and get thousands of responses from other riders either praising me or tearing me down, comment by comment? Nowhere. I love this community.

If you look at all the top comments on most of these pics, you probably chuckle.. Its funny how different just 3-6 years are in commenting. Top comments are actually 'good' top comments today

No wonder there are more, and more photos, you CANT delete them, just to move to the trash folder, but on the profile, the counter is still showing them. For all these years, this website has barely been working, there are lot os flaws, bugs, and things to improve, but noone give a f..., they just count they money they take, instead of fixing this garbage. And that Russian POD, such a moron. Shitty bike [Norco], white gay shoes, and some redneck jeans, lol! No wonder so many people visit that photo, when I first saw, I had to visits it, you dont often see such an idiot.

I have spent exactly $0 to be a part of this site and community. You CAN spend money on it I suppose, but it costs nothing to be on here, so how can you POSSIBLY complain about all these "flaws" and "bugs" that you are paying NOTHING to have to deal with?? Sounds like you need to learn how to use the internet and maybe you will have less trouble with this "barely working" website.

1 3

JejQ (Sep 22, 2013 at 6:09)

I will only spend money of something that actually WORKs, there are shitload of websited in the internet, and majority of them is free. They might be more or less bugged, but not as much as ShitBike, for all these years. f*ck you, and f*ck this website. You cant even delete account here [account can only be banned, I wrote to admins, to have my account wiped out completely, and forever.. guess what? Im still here, because noone cares what users want/think and need], so just shut the f*ck up you retard, and look around. This website has be bugged since the first day, and for all these years, noone made any move to fix it. Forum is full of crap as well. Lots of garbage posts, and topics. Does anyone give a f*ck? NO! Noone deleted anything. Its like ghost town. PinkBike with its designe, usability etc. is still in the early 90ties, when people had hardly any idea how to build websites.

scapegoat2010 (Sep 22, 2013 at 6:32)

Dude, first of all: chill your nuts and get your sh*t straight!

Second: No one asked you to come to this website and to use it. Why are you complaining to us that you dont want to be on this website and that it sucks? You make no sense, so stop bit*hing to us about your problems that we dont want to know about because it just wastes time in our (pb fans) lives to read this "garbage" of yours.

Third: Get a life man! We love to bike. Biking is our sport and we LOVE it. We are here on "PINKBIKE" (get some glasses, there isnt any "sh" in here) because we want to know about the latest news, help each other on the forums and deal with each other, passing on our memories with the bikes we sell to each other.

Now why do you come in here to disturb the peace? Just leave us alone, because we dont care what you think -_- We dont have a problem with PB, aparrently your most likely the only one. Just get out

Eh, bunch of drives in RAID, no sweat. The technical challenge is indexing it and making sure requests happen in a timely manner!

BDKR (Sep 17, 2013 at 5:41)

@joeofloath: "Eh, bunch of drives in RAID..." sounds simplistic and really doesn't adequately deal with fault tolerance.

1 0

joeofloath (Sep 17, 2013 at 10:27)

Depends on RAID type. You mirror the data so if one drive dies you can slot in another and keep running.

1 1

BDKR (Sep 19, 2013 at 11:27)

@joeofloath: You are correct about drive types, but your answer doesn't cover the issue of fault tolerance. While that one drive is down, you do still have the ability to serve images from the mirrored drive in the array. But how is the performance when you've lost a drive? Are we talking about about RAID 1, 2, or 3, or something like RAID 50 or 60?

Poor performance is in my eyes is the same as having no fault tolerance.

And on top of that, is this a single server / single raid controller we are talking about? With this much data and traffic do Pinkbike really still have SPF's (single point of failure) around?

2 0

joeofloath (Sep 19, 2013 at 13:55)

Something like RAID6 would work. You mirror the data across multiple servers or arrays, so if one goes down or has to rebuild an array, the rest can take up the slack. Or they just pay for a CDN. And no, I doubt that anyone who has a production server has a single point of failure.

I'm betting photo number 10,000,000 was lame, since they didn't post it. I uploaded some pics last night of a Demo 8 I'm selling... I'd laugh if it was the one of the bottom of the frame, and my foot.

Awesome, I've been a member of PB for over 13 years now and love how large the community and site content has grown over the years. Back when PB first started my friends and I used to talk about where the direction of MTB was going and if sites like this one would last more then 4 or 5 years. Guess those questions are well answered now. Keep it going PB, keep it going......
