Me too. The problem was solved when I dragged myself out of bed this morning. 😉 ---

It’s always dead in the middle of the night for folks like us, in the US. Usually goes down about 1:30 AM Pacific, and can last anywhere from twenty minutes to an hour or two. ---

It happend at aroun 8 pm to 11pm for me. Board shutdown occurs with me at 1:38 PM(everytime). So that does not explain it. ---

I experience patches of time, from quarter-hours to half-hours, where the SDMB servers don’t respond. Your 3-hour downtime sounds exceptional, **Aslan2**. Are you sure it’s not to do with your ISP performance? ---

No, any other site was working fine. It was just the SDMB. ---

Been faster than ever for me tonight. Maybe there were a few people that couldn’t access it, leaving more hamster goodness for the rest of us.
