Anyone eltse seeing those random downtime a on the site where only the homepage loads but the forums are down?
Everyday, our ISP creates a backup of the data on EC. It happens twice a day, and that's why we have a small downtime everytime it happens.
The backup processes runs twice a day at noon and midnight ET and takes 20-30 minutes each time. The problem will be going away sometime soon, maybe a month or two, as we switch to newer, more robust hardware.
