    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. :(

    About 3:10 give or take. It only lasts about 10 minutes now thanks to the new server.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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