Friday at around 9am Amsterdam time (3am on east coast) I believe awaiting confirmation

Yes, that time is correct, OP. Thanks for posting this up, I was just about to...

So that's midnight on the west coast...

We scheduled it for a time when most of you are in dreamland (or should be!)

yes there is a backup around this time every day that slows the site down
this is actual work on the servers so they will be off completely

I've just changed the title of the thread so people understand we are going down exactly 12 hours from now for about 20 minutes! That's TONIGHT at midnight for ppl on the West Coast!

The site goes down late at night for backups. It's not really down, but the database tables are locked as they get backed up. It is done at the time most convenient for the majority of icmag members (late nite/early morning for them).

Any chance they can adjust the server time? i think its off by 16minutes?

might be 4 hours and 16 minutes...
at one point i was living in greenland according to the server time...
