i know i'm not the only UK person to witness this, and it's been happening for months. when it does work again, i seem to be the only person here, so is it really locking other people out too? look:

Well, it happens at around four thirty AM EST, which is like a low point in internet attendance.

I've seen similiar things happen at other forums every day at around this time, I would assume theyre doing the daily maintainence/backup/restart or what not.

Of course there is the rest of the world running on different times, but the fact is, at 3:10 AM CST, there is a lot less traffic around here. Usually it's less than 10, closer to 5. That's a big difference from the times when there's 100 or even 50 on.



Call me crazy but aren't you guys talking about the same time?
Isn't 9:30 GMT = 4:30 EST (GMT -5) = 3:30 CST (GMT -6)?

Just my $.02
