*insert joke about broken mirrors from your face*

I'm going to ask what that guy on DA did, what's a mirror? To me it just looks like a copy of your website.

A mirror is also a word for another server holding or sending a copy of media. If you type in 'google.com', do you think you go to Google.com? No, you're sent to one of the myriad mirrors of google.com that's nearest you. This let data be more resilient to network error and faster to access from various locations.

never even knew that then again i'm not an information specialist.

It's come in and out of common usage. Email lists were originally called 'mirrors' because the server reflected emails to a list of users, for instance. But as more and more of this technology becomes invisible, it'll be less likely for people to know it.

I reported that guy. They took down the pictures. Most of them, at least.

waaah?

ah. Gotcha.
