What the heck is so wrong with the forum that it needs daily down time?

Considering it used to give database errors during the maintenance i would guess backing up.

They can't do it without bringing down the site.

The technology just isn't there.

Not working during the night shift?

The technology is available it's the money required to implement the technoogy that may not be. There are a ton of ways you could get around it.

Do you miss it when it's gone?

We can't expect too much... I mean it's not like these are computer forums...

The dilithium crystals have nearly all been used up thanks to Gilly's spamming, do you not know how difficult is to find a pure source of dilithium man!?!??!?!

It's early in the morning when most people aren't using the site. We had to choose a time! I'm sure you'll learn to work around it

Is there any update regarding when these forums will stop being a decade out of date?

This is a site for selling the latest hardware and yet the forums work horribly on mobile devices.

Sounds to me like we should move it to 13:00 every day

No update yet. It will happen but that's a little out of our hands but we are looking forward to it too!

I'm just glad we still have the forum, if it needs to be down for maintenance so be it. It's way more reliable than it use to be

There are 1440 minutes in a day. If you can't find something else to do for 5 minutes at 4am then you might as well just kill yourself.
