    is this thing the reason that boards.ie is about to go to sleep in a few mins? Closing time, so to speak?!

    Good morning, and good night!

    It is indeed, but as you can see 45 mins later and it's business as usual.

    Yes. Some people tend to think that 5am may, in fact, be a better time to shut down for 20mins.

    But nobody listens to those people.


    :(

    i agree.
    sometimes (by that i mean once every two months) i stay up and watch live wrestling and update those on the wrestling forum as to what is happening.
    i haven't done it a while though because of the 3am backup (the shows run from 1am to 4am.)
    sometimes i'll stay up on a monday night and watch RAW live. that runs from 2am to 4am and the 3am back up really pisses me off.
    i'm throwing my hat in for the 5am back up vote.

    Ok,I have kept out of this debate thus far.
    But with the hot weather I find I am up until 4am/5am and the 3am back up is a right pain in the arse.
    For those people who are night owls it is too early.
    4:30am would be better as it alllows the site to be back up at 5 am for those who are up that early and want to log of before thier commute.

    So could some consideration be given to moving the back up to 4:30 am please ?

    What channel is wrestling on? I havent seen wrestling in, well a long time.
    Any of the guys from ~5 years a go that I might remember still around?

    On-topic, please dont change the closing time. I really dont want to stay up til 5am, the 3 o clock shutdown is the only thing that allows me to be remotely functional during the daytime. :D

    Heh, that just doesn't work for me. I don't like being told what to do.. when the 3am shut down comes along my brain gets into stubborn mode and I'll be damned if I'm not sitting here the extra twenty-five minutes to read page 2 of that thread I couldn't, honestly, care less about.

    Stupid stubborn brain :(

    Some of Ruu's best posts occur at 4:30am ;)

    You should do it in the style of ITV years ago; national anthem at closedown, station theme at open-up. :)

    Not that you could bastardize a design classic, but Test Card F with Ecksor as Carole and Regi as the clown doll sounds worthy... :D

    i concur.
    if you're up at 4.30, then you are up to no good and shouldn't be visiting boards.

    any word on this yet?
    wrasslin' starts in 35 minutes and i get very agitated if i can't do two things at once.
    my tv is 35 degrees to my right and i just turn my swivel chair back and forth between the pc and tv.

    this 3am nonsense must cease.

    Yeah i find it really anniyign when I'm working nights. The backup should be done during lunchtime when everyone is off eating their food.

    Also boards is slowest at around lunchtime aswell, (The gnomes that operate the website must have a lunchtime too). So having the backup at this time will cause the lease amount of disruption.

    Backup at 1pm FTW!
