I'm usually on most nights until the backup but tonight I might head to bed a bit earlier as I'm fúcked.

Dub13

The backup...I remember that from my non working days,what time is it at these days 2:30/3:30...?

Cokehead Mother

I'll be staying up all night but my laptop is broken so I'm using my sister's comoputer. So as soon as she decides to go to bed, no more internet for me.

boards is backed up at approx 3.10 every morning so posts arent lost in the event of a hardware failure

It basically takes a copy of all the data in the database so that if anything happens to it, the admins will have a copy of it in case there is a hardware failure.

I'm in a different timezone.

Almost time for work

yeah, but you dont 'see' anything. boards just goes down for a few minutes

Yeah, the backup doesn't provide the escape it once did. Sometimes I don't even notice it now and I'm trapped until the wee small hours.

Nope it's done automatically so nobody needs to be there and the mods here have no access to the database, only the admins do.

I'm up til 2:30am every night regardless, but I'm on annual leave until the 9th of January so don't have to worry about work for the next few weeks, so I'll probably be up til 7am or so again.

I stay up because of teh pokars.

It happens to me sometimes when I come in drunk as well. Go on boards and then sober up and realise that I should go to bed. Drunk posting is great except having to do a search the next day to see what I posted.

floydmoon1

does anyone actually work full time for boards.maybe there is info already about all this admin stuff some where.interested in how it started and all that.

Dub13

Drunk modding is even better....

The admins are going to hire a developer who will work on different projects for the site. Other than that everyone does this out of their free time. I remember reading a thread about how it all started, I'll take a look for it. It was very interesting.

Pj!

My previous few days of toxicity will result in me not being able to sleep until around half 4 - 5ish tonight.

arybvtcw0eolkf

Here, drunk + hic cups = lack of sleep :mad:

Dub13

What did we do before the internet...?On a night like this when I could not sleep I would have maybe turned on C4 in the hope of seeing a bit of tit.

MrJoeSoap

I'm up for the Ice Hockey on NASN. That and I'm trying to get accustomed to the Eastern US timezone, I'm off to NY on Sunday

floydmoon1

All the "boards" sites originate from this one, but forums in general... I wouldn't know.

I dont know why i'm still up - i'm not a night person!

Fast_Mover

Was in bed until 3pm today so still not quite ready for sleep yet..

bluedolphin

I really need to be in bed; trying to motivate myself to turn off laptop and go... Damn wireless!

Smegball

I work night shifts in Sainsburys, my shifts are from 10pm until 6am so I don't normally sleep until about 7/8 and then don't wake up until at least 3/4.
Even when I'm not working I can't sleep until about 6am these days.

Pigman II

Nightshifting too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlsfYDj2HWA . I think boards will be the death of me.

Rattlehead_ie

Well I'm on the night shift tonight 7pm - 7am.
Ah well anyone else on it tonight, I think we should keep this thread going as much as possible as by about 4 am I am super bored

AlmightyCushion

I've no work tomorrow so I'll probably be up late tonight. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to keep this going at a regular rate until 7am.

Could be a good idea but it will take dedication...are you ready for this kind of commitment...?

Rattlehead_ie

No No I am on night shift as in I have to stay awake tonight till 7am in the office, looking at about 20 different PC screens, my wage at the end of the month is my dedication / commitment

So your just sitting at home being awake, anyone else in the office

When on day shift yeah I work and do stuff, nightshift no, unless something terrible goes pear shaped, I don't have MUCH work to do.

Some people have all the luck
Interested in a job-swap?

AlmightyCushion

Hmm I do have final fantasy 12 to play. If I get really into that I could end up staying up all night.

Night shift sounds great, but trust me, its not all that its hyped up to be.
When things go pear shaped it can be the worst experience ever. What you do anyway

Almighty, I could never get into FF games, although If I could get Team Fortress 2 in here I would be laughing.

I.S.T.

Doing a late nighter tonight, some work badly overdue on the site. Anyone else here to keep me company?!!

Lucky you. All the hundreds of hours I've spend on them (oblivion as well), I could have used on something more productive. Oh well, time to level up another 100 odd levels.
