The Q Bar Business Department was just established within Tengxun. Because it is optimistic about the business of this sector, it directly formed a new team within the company in the form of a business department. However, the members of this new team are all from several other companies. The team was transferred from the department and has limited manpower. The funding plan for the subsequent development of Q Bar will not be finalized until the new fiscal year in January, so the team's lack of manpower has become a shortcoming at the moment.
There are only a dozen or so people in Q Bar, including product and technical personnel, plus some basic operation editors. Usually, everyone from project managers to ordinary editors is responsible for copying Tieba content. This kind of thing could have been done from We hire part-time workers online, but the project manager of Q Bar is worried that the part-time job is out of control. If word gets out that Q Bar hires online editors to steal content, this kind of subjective and intentional behavior that harms the interests of other companies will have a negative impact on the company's image. It will have a great impact, especially since the Internet Conference is about to be held. If senior leaders attend the conference and are ridiculed by industry insiders because of this matter, it will be too much of a loss.
Although the work efficiency of more than a dozen people is slow, the good news is that it is almost the end of the year. When the new fiscal year arrives, Q Bar will definitely be able to obtain the investment cost scale of 2002. With the company's emphasis on this business, Q Bar will be in There will definitely be enough funds to expand the team and scale in 2002. By then, the speed of development will be improved by several levels.
The focus of the work of these dozen people is also very simple. First go to the most popular Tieba and copy the most popular content. For example, there is a very awesome user named "Legend Zai Zai" in the Legend Tieba. He wrote an article "Hot Blooded". "Legend Exclusive Guide" has been very popular in the Legend Post Bar because it has sorted out many exclusive experiences on monster fighting and upgrades, hidden maps, monster spawning experiences, etc. His posts are updated from time to time. In just half a month, it has become The first post in the Legend Bar was collected by more than 100,000 users and responded to by tens of thousands of users. Many of the contents were regarded as textbooks by Legend players. Naturally, Q Bar would not let go of such a good post, and soon "Legend Zai Zai" was included in the list. All comments in this post have been copied to the Legend Bar of Q Bar.
Q Bar copied tens of thousands of hot articles like this. When Tieba users began to gather in the Tieba family, Q Bar continued to copy Tieba content.
An employee of the Q Bar team, who was working overtime, was copying highly clicked content in the Legend Tieba. He accidentally found a call for action post and clicked on it. It turned out to be a user of the Legend Tieba denouncing Q Bar’s practices in the Tieba. Unexpectedly, a post attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people. He clicked on it and found that the comments in it were very exciting. After reading it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of the childish comments.
"In the Legend Tieba, there is a guy who posted a message saying that he wants to attack us." The young employee smiled and said to several colleagues around him: "They said in the Tieba that they would make us taste the price of angering them."
A young man next to me who was copying and pasting said happily: "What can they do? Can't they call the police?"
A female colleague said: "In the college entrance examination bar, a high school class teacher is still calling for everyone to protest. Several college entrance examination mathematics questions he wrote were copied by me into our college entrance examination bar."
At this time, the head of the Q Bar Business Department, 32-year-old Luo Zhongwen, stood up and said to his dozen or so subordinates: "Don't pay attention to the comments of these netizens. They will stop in a few days. Now Our top priority is to expand the high-quality content of our Q bar, and everyone must not relax on this point. We will work overtime until 11 o'clock tonight just like yesterday, so everyone will work harder."
Everyone heard that they had to work overtime again. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to protest. They all responded listlessly. This kind of mechanical copying and pasting really has no technical content. They have to do this kind of work non-stop. , almost everyone has opinions in their hearts, but Q Bar is very important now, and with the huge workload pressed down, they can only grit their teeth and deal with it.
At ten o'clock, the male employee who was copying the post from the Legend Tie Bar to the Legend Q Bar suddenly discovered that the post he had just published in the Q Bar a minute ago disappeared from the homepage a minute later, and was replaced by a There were a lot of posts covered with exclamation marks, which made him a little surprised for a moment. The traffic of Legend Q Bar was not that big, so how could there be so many new posts
Taking a closer look at the names of these posts, he almost jumped out of fright.
“Legend Tieba strongly condemns Q Bar’s shameless act of piracy of Tieba content!!!”
“How can the Tieba family tolerate Qba’s shameless trampling!!!”
"Come and join the battle, make friends! Vow to fight to the death with Q Bar!!!"
"Simple Plan Bar reports! Strongly requesting the unscrupulous Q Bar to stop infringement!!!"
The male employee thought he was dazzled and instinctively pressed F5 to refresh the browser. Unexpectedly, as soon as he refreshed, the posts on the entire homepage changed again, but there were still various posts against Q Bar. He hurriedly checked from the background After looking at the specific data, he immediately exclaimed: "Something happened! Within two minutes, more than 10,000 users flooded into the Legend Q Bar and published more than 8,000 posts..."
"How is it possible!" Two minutes, tens of thousands of users, and eight thousand posts. This data is simply unimaginable. It is impossible to have such a powerful influx of users in an instant. It is simply impossible in terms of common sense.
Another employee who was responsible for copying content from the F4 Post Bar to the F4Q Bar was equally surprised and said: "The same goes for F4's Q Bar. Within two minutes, there were more than 9,000 users and more than 6,000 topics. Almost all of them were criticizing us..."
"Sun Yanzi, too..."
"Wang Lihong, too..."
"The beauty bar is also..."
More than a dozen employees who were working overtime kept reporting dangerous situations. Before Luo Zhongwen had time to check, just five minutes after ten o'clock, the background monitoring data showed that in these five minutes, more than 400,000 users poured into Q Bar. With more than 300,000 users posting, the server load almost immediately exceeded the red line, so that the remaining more than 500,000 people queuing up to join the post bar could not get in. No matter how they refreshed the Q bar, they could not open any Q bar. The pages of the bar are all the same, and the server does not respond at all.
Those users who successfully posted found that they could not squeeze into the server when they tried to post again. The posting requests and access requests at this moment directly overwhelmed the Q Bar server and paralyzed it, and the technical staff were overwhelmed with anxiety. Khan said to Luo Zhongwen: "Our server can no longer bear the load. At least 800,000 to 900,000 people are trying to squeeze into our Q Bar server."
"Oh my God!" Luo Zhongwen's mind was buzzing. The Q bar was just starting out. Although the server has not yet been built with tens of millions of users, it can still handle millions of people accessing it at the same time. How could it suddenly be paralyzed
The technician's explanation was: "Our server can support millions of people browsing, but it cannot support millions of people posting requests. The magnitude of this data writing is too terrifying!"
Luo Zhongwen's thoughts suddenly changed: "How could there be so many users pouring in in an instant? Is it a hacker attack? Is it Tieba's revenge?"
The technician said: "I screened the users in the background, and 90% of these incoming users are our QQ users. Q Bar users and QQ users are connected, so it is definitely not a hacker attack."
"It's not a hacker attack? You mean, these eight or nine million people came to our Q bar spontaneously and at the same time? Who organized it? Who has such a big influence?"
An employee suddenly stood up and said nervously: "I found a new Tieba that was just created today! There are people talking about the Q Bar. The number of sign-ins in this Tieba now reaches 1.13 million. Got it!"
Luo Zhongwen's mind was almost overwhelmed by the astonishing news that poured in instantly. A newly created post forum with 1.13 million sign-ups? How is this possible... I have known the data of Legend Bar, the largest post bar, and it only has more than 300,000 users!
Not only Luo Zhongwen, but with the knowledge of any current Internet practitioner, it is difficult to understand how powerful the bar explosion is. This time, Tieba groups mobilized to Q Bar to explode the bar, and the scale was larger than any other operation in later generations. Much more, because this time, the trolls under Zhao Kang completely angered all the Tieba users through perfect planning. In addition, the current netizens are extremely involved in Internet incidents, so they created such an unprecedented event. group action.
Seeing that Luo Zhongwen didn't respond for a long time, the technical staff couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Luo, what should we do now? Should we temporarily shut down the server?"
Luo Zhongwen rubbed his knuckles on his forehead repeatedly, gritted his teeth and said: "Turn it off for now, delete all the spam posted by these people, add a post verification code mechanism, and then limit the frequency of posts. Each user will have You can only post one post, adjust these and then reopen.”
The product manager said: "Mr. Luo, if you add a verification code, the user experience will be much worse. Most websites now dare not enable verification codes. We are doing this at the beginning, fearing that it will cause user rejection..."
CAPTCHA is a new thing developed by a young engineer at Yahoo last year. It uses distorted graphics to filter people and machines to avoid malicious attacks on the Internet. This mechanism is regarded as a genius invention by people in the industry, but For users, it was rated as one of the most disgusting inventions on the Internet in the first year of its birth. The user experience was very poor. If it were left ten years later, everyone would have become accustomed to it and would not think anything of it, but now it is launched. The verification code mechanism will definitely be criticized by users.
The product manager didn't wait for Luo Zhongwen to answer, and then said: "Restricting users from posting will also have a great impact on the user experience!"
Luo Zhongwen asked back: "What do you mean? Do we need to quickly expand the server and bandwidth so that they can come in and insult us smoothly?"
