The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

GOF not working at certain times.

First, I don't know if this is in the right section, sorry if it's not.

Anyway, for like the past two days, starting at 10 PM EST, I cannot access the GOF. It simply doesn't load, and if it does, it's a very small portion of the page. The first time this happened, I couldn't get on for around one and a half hours. Just now, though, I couldn't get on from 10 PM - 2:40 AM.

I was just wondering if I'm the only one having this trouble.

Nope.  This isn't the first time Invisionfree's had problems like this.  They might be doing upgrades and such.  I don't know.  When downtime will take more than a few minutes they usually post a message saying that maintenance is being performed.

I've hit a snag before, but they're few and far between.  Invision runs many servers and run two very different board systems...a little maintenence never hurts. ;)

I never have. It may be internet congestion, or lost or dropped packets maybe, or congestion or slowdown on the path your pc (or some internet thingie) takes through the net to where this board is.   Many many years ago I use to have the same problem you are having here with hotmail.  It eventually went away after a while.
