    Personally I think 14:34 IST is the best time as it's when I take my daily brain shampoo which takes about 56 minutes.

    SHUT UP! 3AM IS BOARDS.IE SLEEPY TIME! THE END!

    So what has everyone been up to?
    I've spent the last hour catching up on Something Awful ... they've sure added a lot of content since I read it last year.

    Never bothers me as I am fast asleep at that time. If I was'nt Id be fecked at work the next day. So then if it changes to 5 someone else is going to say "Hey can we not change it to another time". Its been set to that time for ages now, has'nt it? Leave it alone.

    Ah who can value your op with a name like that! Your bias :p
    Sleepy is actually a shortened version of Sleep Comes Tomorrow which has been my username on other forums for years, it's just too long for boards.ie's username field. It was chosen as a reference to my insomnia and because I like the David Kitt song of the same name.

    Posters on sin.ie always referred to me as Sleepy or SCT (actually I think it was Sarky that first christened me Sleepy) instead of typing out the full name so I decided I may as well use Sleepy if i couldn't have Sleep Comes Tomorrow.

    Now that was a long and boring story :p

    I don't think I can imagine the level of complaining that would take place about proper backup strategies if people lost 3 or 4 days worth of posts from corruption.

    Jesus can you imagine? For starters Victor's post count would drop below the tens of thousands... Think of the wasted hours people!! And that's only the time he spends posting the first time around!
