Is it me, or is it new that the servers seem to be down off and on throughout the night.....and sometimes during the day? Are the servers getting reset? This is the only site that does it during these times so I know it's not my connection. I just got to get back on here after about 30 minutes or so of downtime.

Hm. I have an atypical schedule compared to folks in the States, since I'm on the other side of the world. We did have some problems some months ago, but I have noticed no performance issues lately.

I haven't seen what you are describing loki.fish, and I'm on quite a bit even at night.

Please describe the outage reponse you are seeing.

I'm not remembering exactly what it is, but I'll do my best at describing it, next time I see it, I'll take a screenshot of it and post it. I know it's not the error pages you normally get with IE. Small paragraph saying an error has a occured. Gave a link to contact webmaster. Didn't bother contacting webmaster because I figured the server was just getting restarted or something.

I know the message you're talking about. It is indeed from THR and usually means either there has been a temporary corruption of the data base or the db is temporarily out of service due to scheduled service. If you are seeing the message during the wee hours of the morning, the latter is most likely the cause.

Our official gurus (tyme & Derek) may have better info for you.

I'm pretty sure it's the nightly backup.
