Tonight's didn't last long. Some nights they last an hour or so. But, very frequently, around midnight Central time it is ...
The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.
Seems very odd to me that midnight would be such a peak of activity to create that message. A little transparency please.

My thought, quasimod, is that since the majority of ECF members are in the USA, that time would be a little later in the day ... say 1 AM Pacific, 4 AM Eastern.

actually, we're looking at rescheduling it to a few hours later.

I had heard from a reliable source that it was being discussed. And my thought was exactly what NCC mentioned. I told the person I mentioned it to to take pity on us poor west coasters!:D

There are about 3 maintenance tasks that were run daily. We rescheduled a couple but that still leaves one running at 1 am EC - the main backup.

Since most members are in EC zone we'll move that to their 'dead' time, say 5am EC. But like Quas said, we are global so somebody somewhere has to pay. When it's good for US EC, it's bad for Pacific or Europe or wherever.

Depends who sends me the best 5 volt mod, maybe I'll fix it so they are in the clear. There have got to be some perks to this job :)

Thanks, ejoker! I'll try to find a breathalyzer with a USB cable, so you guys will know when to cut me off.

Wow, I need one of those as well, if you find one let me know.:toast:

Friends don't let friends just get trashed and post on Forums, they encourage it!!
