Those who have been PC enthusiasts at one time or another are likely to be a regular visitor at TipidPC.com. The site is undoubtedly the biggest online PC trading site in the Philippines. Only recently though, I have been informed that it has been having some rough times and went down for about a week due to alleged technical problems with the database.
There’s a rumor though of what really caused the extended downtime:
There’s allegedly been a squabble brewing lately between two giants on another site. This alleged fall out apparently precipitated during the last 48 hours.
The more technically gifted one, out of pressure from his partner, reportedly took the precious main database hostage ang fuxored the db schema of the backups. He has gone AWOL.
Under pressure from advertisers, the powers that be had a boardroom meeting last night. Last I heard, the assembly concensus was that if the hostage isn’t turned over soon enough, they might consider emptying what’s left of the damaged database and building it anew. Which means everything might just go back to scratch. {source}
It may have some truth in it. If it’s just some technical glitch, I don’t see why it would last that long.
This story reminds me about the history of Manila Tonight (MTC) and MyGimmick (MyG). There used to be MTC only, handled by partners one of which was the brains behind the forum while the other was the webmaster. After the site became popular and was getting some form of regular income, the two fought over money only to end with one creating a new and competing site (MyG).
A very common situation with lots of business partners, both offline and online.
YugaTech.com is the largest and longest-running technology site in the Philippines. Originally established in October 2002, the site was transformed into a full-fledged technology platform in 2005.

TPC regular here. Tsk tsk so sad….
JP Loh says:
It’s still a rumor. I hope everything goes back to normal. It’ll be hard to start a new community with the same size. Splitting it into two would suck big time as well.
jepoy says:

Alwell says:
Aw. I been a regular tipidpc visitors. Kaya pala down ng madalas. I hope this is just a rumor.
Miguel says:

bigmindsky says:
TPC, with pool of IT experts, has been a very informative and helpfull community.
Hopefully, everything goes back to normal.
JP Loh says:
Wasn’t PC-Tipid started because they hated one mod from TipidPC?
mikel_popo says:
what? hope this is not true.
Miguel says:
JP Loh: Yes, now I recall that reason. So, PC-Tipid may be inclined to post stories about TipidPC (regardless of whether they are true or not)

sayang naman…wag sana maapektuhan…marami rin kasi nakikinabang dun, kahit hindi monetary ang gain…like nung techsupport pa ko sa call center, yung ibang sagot sa tech issues ng mga kanong costumer eh sa TPC ko nakukuha instead of our client’s tools…sa TPC rin ako nakakapag-share ng iba kong alam as form of public service for free, like yung construction thread na sinimulan ko dun at yung huntahang bisnes thread…sana maresolve na eto….
