TBS == dead?

A few months ago, an old friend of mine, Chemi, returned to TBS, and suddenly asked me, "Hey, is TBS dead?". I answered, "Yeah, Inferno was being lazy"...

Actually although seeing the site dying, I was still waiting (or rather hoping) for some changes that would make the site alive again.

But that has yet to happen.

No new challenge has been added for like 8 months.

Many good users have gone into the shadow.

The forum has become a place for rhican to show off his 1337 h4x0r1ng skills.

An old CSRF bug that I found a few years ago has been exploited further that Inferno could do nothing but disabling the img tag and avatar feature.

And sadly most recent updates to the site were done by Erik, who officially declared retired a few years ago.

So I gotta admit TBS is pretty much dead now.

But maybe it's still not too late to revive the site once again?

Err wtf's happening here?

I was trying to copy a file of about 2GB from my USB to my hard disk, but the checksum failed all the time :(

In the end I managed to get things done by copying the file to a fat32 partition instead.

I guess it's kinda buggy copying files between different types of partition...

Any explanation?
