Friendster's Official Statement on its Unscheduled Downtimes

As you may have seen, Friendster.com has undergone maintenance at various times over the past few days. Friendster's unscheduled downtime was due to a power outage at our outsourced data center in Santa Clara, California where Friendster's servers are co-located along side approximately 50 other companies. As a result, Friendster, as well as a number of other online companies, experienced unscheduled and unavoidable downtime. At this time, Friendster is back online and our team is working quickly to restore everything back to normal.
Additionally, you may have experienced some inconsistencies with your friend count on Friendster. All of your friend connections and data stored on Friendster are in tact and will be corrected shortly. It's simply taking some time for us to restore each user account as Friendster has over 85 million user accounts globally.
Lastly, if you've received any on site messages or SMS text alerts regarding our downtime or your friend count, please disregard them as they were initiated by members of our community and do not contain accurate information about what happened.
Thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Here's a sample of text/sms message that was forwarded to me during downtimes:

"Please be advised that Friendster has suffered a great damage on their site as a computer named h4xor-nytmare had infiltrated their database.

Please do not lo in you accounts or add friends for the time being for the team is currently recovering the losses that were inflicted."--this sms message is inaccurate according to Friendster and should be discarded.
