Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

The server is shut down very often but gladly it's only for some minutes. I hope everything is okay with the forum, it will be good if theymos or forum moderators explain why this happens so often (probably once a week).

He already mentioned it, but there is no solution to whatever causes it as he doesn't even know what's the reason

It was the same weird thing which caused a few hours of downtime 6-12 months ago, and I think it's what causes the few minutes of downtime people observe every few weeks. I've never been able to figure out what causes it. It looks like the network gets cut between the web server and the database for a while. It seems to always happen at around the same time, so I suppose it's probably some automated maintenance process messing something up, but I don't have anything running at this time, so I wonder if it's something in the web-host's networking infrastructure, or something like that. It's difficult to diagnose, since it happens rarely, and usually when I'm sleeping.

Anyhow, a few hours of downtime might be good once in a while, would make some understand to not take eveything for granted.
