Maybe alex is using it as cover so he can modify the site... <.< >.>

Alex was sick all weekend and he's in his final weeks of the semester.

If that was supposed to be a counter...

The site has gone down at this time before this weekend. It hasn't been limited to two or three days.

Whatever maintenance it is, it is odd that it takes so long and that it is done nightly.

Even odder is that it changes a lot of state information,
like bookmarks in threads. My guess is that there is
something wrong, and this is just one manifestation
of the bug.

A long post I wrote yesterday is missing. Does that mysteriously happen during these "sessions", or is that a mod thing? Cuz it was not even a remotely offensive post. :?:

I don't know what causes the shut-down. All I am saying is that in my opinion, people expect perfection from WrongPlanet and no one can deliver perfection. Alex does an excellent job with this site and often prioritises it over other important things like attending class. This isn't a full-time job for him and he does lots of other things with his life. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be able to talk to each other or complain about this site at all.

Personally, I would just like to know why it happens. I like to know why, as an aspie I find that is a fairly typical trait.

Boy it must be nice for him to have people like you around.

Same. Simply knowing why it happened would likely be enough for me to simply not think about it further.

I only included the last line, but nice try at a guilt trip. Nobody expects perfection. Anyone that does is being unreasonable. As for whether or not he does an excellent job, that's a matter of opinion. We are all aware it can't be a full-time job for him, as he is in school. Thanks for the reminder though. :roll:

It is amusing how you say he spends so much time on this site, even when he should be in class, then you also say he does lots of other things with his life. While not mutually exclusive, they aren't the most logical combination.

The big thing is, if people heard from him from time to time, and on something significant, not him correcting someone (or trying) or posting stuff like the meth poster images, people would likely be less demanding. If we know more about what's going on in the background, even as little as a two minute post's worth made once a month, we could appreciate his efforts more. I know, I know, you will likely try to make even that out to be too demanding.

PHP is a slow language and the database must do a full rebuild at least ounce ever 24 hours is a good enough explanation for me

The combination of information gave little indication of anything, other than that you work on the site when you should be in class at times. All time descriptors were subjective.

Site work could also be done with a laptop. While in a classroom. Better choice than simply not going.

And moving when the backup is merely moves when people get annoyed that the site goes off-line. There's no point in changing it.

I think that there are lower load times though. There seems to be a lull an hour or two later.

again, that's not how it works. less people are on during the times I mentioned so less people will be affected and the people who are affected won't notice it as much.
