I'm at work by 4:00 a.m. After getting through some paper work, I quickly check this site. It laways says there is an issue and I can not connect. Is this site not operational before 5 a.m.?
The site goes down daily for maintenance at this time. It usually lasts about an hour or two (this is 1am-2am/3am for me in California (it was 10am in Spain when I was there).
It's always down for 2 hours for me (3-5 am central time).
... down for me .. 1am - 3am+ .. west coast

If you read post #2 (from a webmaster) the site is down at that time for maintenance:ibob52 said: ↑

Which is why they need to configure a "maintainence mode" page so when you visit disboards.com you get a screen saying "hey it's backup time. Come back around 5 am eastern" instead of an unexpected database error has occurredIt probably wouldn't be a bad idea for one of the mods to post a sticky at the top of this forum explaining this. It seems to come up a lot.
They probably just perform a backup of the databases daily so they don’t lose as many posts if they need to restore vs performing a weekly backupI still don't get why the site needs to go down for 2 hours each day. In my 20+ years of internet browsing, I've never encountered another website that had to do that.
