Server Maintenance?

[Brother Oni]

Just a little thing I've noticed over the past couple weeks - the GitP forum server appears to go unreachable for about 5 minutes at 07:00 GMT.

Is this server maintenance or is something dodgy going on with my connection?

I recall server maintenance being a little later, and a little longer (closer to twenty minutes than five), but the boards are shut down briefly every day, yes. It mostly affects people who pull all-nighters, or us non-Americans.

The old maintenance used to be 20 minutes at ~08:00 GMT, but since they switched to Cloudflare (then back), it's been virtually non-existent.

It's only relatively recently that this 5 minutes at 07:00 has started (or I've been very unobservant).

It normally lasts around 5 - 10* minutes for me at GMT+12.

*It might not actually last that long, but that's how long I wait once I realise it's 7pm and the forums are doing their backup/maintenance/what ever.
