Why, at 9:15AM GMT every single day, does this sites database server take a shit?

Nah... It's when I roll in from work.
It takes the site a few minutes to decide if it should let me in or not.

OR

It's 800 guests all looking at the same 4 year old sale thread.

Dunno, maybe there's a backup job active at that time which locks the tables for a short while, normally the problem does not last very long, only for a few minutes.

Like the above poster stated its prolly the forums sw locking the database in order to do a backup or some other type of cron job. Thats why its so late at night and happens regularly.

It's perfectly timed that way because most of the board members in the US are asleep, or should be, the Italians are still sleeping because they don't have to start working their 4 hour work days until noon, and the Brits are drinking their tea. If you can stop being so different, you would never notice it.

Coffee's bad for you, Rot. It has been proven to lead to ovarian cysts.

That need a warning, Rot. I'm in my school library right now and few things could be more embarrassing than seeing a video of you dancing provocatively and smoking a cigar.

I'm going to dare Rot to turn this up to the next level and make a video of him doing the scene from Silence of the Lambs.

I was in chat today when this happened.

It was kind of annoying.

Then again, I should have been in bed like a good american.

So, ultimately, i dont think it's a problem.
