I know some sort of bacup thingy happens at 3am every morning and you can't access boards.ie while it is happening, any chance this could be moved to an earlier time like 5am, because a fair few people are still up at 3am :D

Commuters may be up not long after 5 and having a browse over breakfast before heading out.

I'd like to refer you to the After Hours thread on commuting vast distances in the futile search for quality of life, but I can't be arsed searching for it.

The backup takes way less time than it used to.
Used to be down almost the whole hour between 3am and 4am... hardly notice it going down these days.

Yes, the new servers are much better at doing the backup now and it takes only about 10 minutes. Fighting Irish was just running low on things to complain about this week...

Be creative, folks! Write a big ranty thread-starter for AH or something during the downtime! Or a review of the latest film you saw for the film reviews board! Or whatever... you get the idea!
