What if the internet shut down on holidays?
A random 4th of July thought. Why do servers still run on holidays? Pretty much all businesses are closed.

It's interesting how random 4th of July thoughts generally sound like they were thought up by somebody while half wasted.

I do not have the 4th July off work. This is not an American site; it was created by an Australian and is hosted (I believe) in the Netherlands.

If we shut down for every holiday in each country we have a member from; we'd never be online.

That makes sense HR, but it's a more universal truth that the internet keeps going even when businesses are closed for holidays. Perhaps it has something to do with servers not needing to go home to their families, but I thought it was interesting. And no, I'm not wasted.

I don't think the international aspect of it is the reason for this curiosity.

Because you can leave a server room on without any employees in the building - otherwise we'd also have to turn the internet off at night...

Computers, despite the amount of work they do, are not employees - and until they start fighting for civil rights we're not going to need to worry about this...

Servers should have better union representation. Maybe they'd get some holidays off.

People need better union representation.

Holidays need better union representation because people ignore the reasons for the holidays. Look at all the businesses that are open for holidays so they can sell stuff that people don't really need.

"If we shut down for every holiday in each country we have a member from; we'd never be online." - I don't think this could be true. Even if we have a member in every country, I'm not convinced that everyday is a holiday somewhere. I'm thinking offical holidays, like bank holidays.

The next day there isn't a public holiday anywhere in the world is Aug 22 - we should make that the official webdip holiday.

It's as daft to shut the servers down when it's night! The only one which might make sense is the no process on Sat/Sun, though personally I hate it.

God has spoken to me. He would like it to be known that in future, he wishes the WebDip server to be shut down every Sunday in respect of the sabbath. Today's DDoS event was a warning to respect God's wish.

On The Forum
As some of you may know, I have been a strong proponent of a one forum system. After some careful reflection, though, I've decided separate forums are better. I have a proposal that would allow for the separation of topics without the segregation of the community that many fear. I realize this is a sensitive topic, so I would appreciate serious criticism only. I have taken the liberty of making a mock-up of my proposed forum here: http://i.imgur.com/rgcdsO2.png

The site is suddenly taking a rather long time to load/refresh for me this evening - does anyone know why that might be/any solution?

I'm in a live game right now and so it's not particularly helpful.

Fun Fact
Lots of people assume I'm a musician due to the way I look. Compliment? Insult? Fun fact for sure!

Perhaps I should either get a haircut or become a musician/singer, so no mistakes are made :-)
