Why did Scratch's Database go?
I tried to login this morning, and found out I couldn't. None of the projects were on the front page, and when I clicked the Forums page, it said the MySQL database has gone. (By the way, if you say "Click "Forgot Your Password?"", I did and it said I did not exist.)
I'm back.
Maybe.

Yeah I saw this.

Someone messed up big time!
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

theres also a topic about this in the advance topics. I'm not sure if it's hackers, or just a website error. Anywhat, it's back up now!

It just means the database wasn't up or couldn't connect to it. No big deal unless it was deleted. But if it was, I wouldn't be able to make this post.

I doubt that a .edu website owned by MIT would be hacked so easily. It’s probably a website error, or they’re updating the server, but I’m not having this problem.
EDIT: My Scratch Stats don’t say zero either.

Nope, database failed. The RAID controller messed up.
