Does the staff of this site not care? I rarely see them post in these types of topics.

WP going offline and random logouts are annoying and need to stop.

If that were the problem then it should not be shutting down not at midnight everywhere, but when it is midnight at the location of the servers. It is just another bug they are are unwilling or unable to fix. It almost seems that they have given up in frustration.

last i heard the servers were in virginia, or that general time zone.

TallyMan and Cornflake were our last, involved, non alex admins. i'm not optimistic that someone new till take over that position now.

I'm glad I don't do internet banking or anything requiring telecommunications. Androids and IPhones aren't a lifeline, they're just a nuisance.

I'm aware of this issue because I get a wake up call from our monitoring system and have to login and fix it every time it occurs. This thread in particular has been useful to follow (but I don't regularly post). A lot of work has been done on the backend to cut down issues in this timeframe (which is when it seems every search engine attempts to load every single post on the forums simultaneously, effectively causing a DoS), and you've probably noticed it's been a lot better over the last two weeks.
