It used to frustrate me, but now I just do something else and try later.
What frustrates me far more are the times when I go through some days being logged out every few minutes. I've had that happen twice this year already. When it first started happening, my frustration level went up, but over time I got used to it. When I find myself suffering that glitch these days, I just do something else instead, and go back later and try again until it stops logging me out. It usually lasts a few days. I don't have the patience to keep logging in over and over in just a few minutes, so I find limiting my visits when it acts up keeps my frustration level fairly low.
I do find this funny. Whose overnight are we talking about? Surely a time with a relevant timezone would be more specific. Something like 02:00 to 03:00 EST or whatever makes a lot more sense than "backups are done sometime during the period after the the sun has set but before it rises in a non-specified part of the world".

How do you feel about an autism support site that constantly crashes?
On a level of 1 to 10 how frustrated do you feel every time you see this?:
It appears to me that Alex contracts with a server farm to use one server. So, when it is backing up (or doing other work), the site stalls for a few minutes. Paying for two servers would allow one of them to back up in real time while user data remains active on the second server. I can't blame him, though, as that would increase operational costs. And, as more Internet (and WP) users learn to avoid most of the common non-essential quantifying system and advertisment applications, any remaining revenue shared with the content providers (customers like WP) must be minimal. But, I am simply presuming. I don't really know why the site is offline so frequently (especially in the early morning hours), unless the ability to back up is limited.
He could just use more reliable servers as even most budget host rarely go down (above 99.9% uptime) so they is not excuse for a higher quality one to keep going down unless it is another host who claims to be high quality to be able to pocket a huge profit margin).

midnight, EST would be your answer. 24:00.
meaning, people like me who start using the forum at 9:00 PST get stuck in the rut immediately.
