Here are some FAQs to help address your concerns;

Friendster,

Here are some FAQs to help address your concerns:

  • What happened to my friends?
    Currently, the number of friends in the friends list is being displayed incorrectly.

  • Are my friends lost permanently?
    No. The data for all friend connections is intact and is not lost.

  • When can this be fixed?
    Friendster is currently working on this problem and we hope to have this fixed within 24 hours.

  • Can I still add friends while the problem has not yet been fixed?
    Yes, users can still add new friends and use other features of the site.

  • What caused this problem?
    Friendster’s data center lost power, and as a result, the memory caching of data was affected. Since Friendster has 85M users, the cache is taking a considerable amount of time to build. Once the cache has been completely built, all friends will re-appear.
