Yah, that's just when the server backs up.

 

I PM'd IPS about it yesterday night and complained about moving it to two hours later, but I doubt they'll change their backup routine. Between 1AM and 2AM Central time the website will be either completely inresponsive or very slow. The actual offline only happened for about 10 minutes, tbh. It rarely goes completely offline because IPS cycles how many folders or databases they backup at a time, which just causes certain parts of the site, specifically sections in the public_html, to load very slowly. You'll notice it in chat the most.

 

It's just basic server maintenance. Defrag, Check, Backup, Scan, Defrag. If you play any well-maintained MMO's or online games they'll have downtimes for their servers every week or two. Some of the more well-funded games can cycle which servers they run maintenance on so you can't really see it happening, we don't have that luxury since we're a website, haha. Server maintanence keeps the site more responsive and with less driver/database errors during the day, though.

 

Just think of the 12:00AM -> 3:00AM (Central Time, -6:00GMT) as the websites server maintenance time.

 

Don't worry so much! It'll give you wrinkles!
