    I can confirm it. It happens to me as well.

    Question

    It just happened again.

    The time is now 09:26 GMT, and everything is back in working order. The site just died at around 9:15 GMT. Any attempt to refresh the view is rewarded with a blank page. No contact with the site whatsoever.

    Actually come to think of it, not sure of the time but around that time would be right the lit net goes funny then the computer needs restarting becasue what ever happens trips our internet connection and the wireless needs reseting.

    Actually it happened to me too about a month ago, and i believe it was the five hours time difference from GMT. So it would be the same moment in time that Fifth experienced it.

    I think that that is the time the daily backups happen.

    IT takes a lot of computing power to backup the entire database, but not having daily backups would be worse because then if the system crashed... well... we'd lose everything

    I thought so... And of course we want you to back this place up: I am an administrator for another rather big forum, and the mere thought of a crash makes me cringe.

    Hmmm ... now that explains why after about 3:00 a.m. (my time) everything goes awry -- my system freezes up and I am pretty much locked out. I just reBoot it all and then go to bed (where I ought to be at that time!)

    Wild, B! Thanks for telling me this, because I really wondered about that.... And since you were at LitNet then, do you recall my just 'disappearing' from the board? As in, I didn't LogOff, but yet I got froze out? (I am curious about that)

    well not exactly, because that happened to me too, and when I came back you were gone. Took me like 15 minutes to get back on...but it feels like a lifetime when i can't get my bloggarooney.
