Alexandria Incidents are massive losses of data that intentionally or unintentionally take down part or the whole of a service's data at once.
Geocities died intentionally, and the loss was the death of the whole service, and thus is considered an A type Alexandria Incident.
The Myspace Data Loss Incident was unintentional, and was the loss of only a portion of the service, and thus is considered a B type Alexandria Incident.
The Tumblr porn ban was intentional, and was a loss of only a portion of the service, and is thus a C type
The Theoretical D type, where the data loss was unintentional and resulted in service wide data loss happens usually to small scale services, or large services in their early days, I do not know of many good examples of this if any

Get the alejanprima mug.Alessandra is the kindest person I've ever met. Her eyes are always so accepting and I could gaze into them eternally. She's insanely intelligent and helps me in ways she'll never know. She's really strong both mentally and physically, while being the best at everything I've ever seen her do ( Except drawing). She's the most beautiful girl in the whole world and it's all natural. Also, she's Mexican. She likes Batman which is a really big bonus. I would ask her out but she's way outta my league. I hope someday we can be more than just friends.
