Hi all, we're doing some maintenance work as part of our re-platforming project and we'll need to take the site offline for an hour tonight at midnight. We wanted to give you some notice and we hope it doesn't inconvenience anyone too much.
MNHQ.

MN offline... does not compute!

Still might encourage me to go to sleep!! It could be a public service!!

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 31/01/2022 15:31

It'll never come back on, will it?

TooManyPJs · 31/01/2022 15:38

What?!?!?!?!? What will I do now when I am sleep procrastinating????

PartyPlan · 31/01/2022 15:45

Nooooo, how will I get through my night feed?! Shock

That takes me back to the days of the 3am shutdown, every night. It was just normal then.

I had forgotten about that!

At least if MNHQ took it offline between 11pm and midnight, a tonne of British MNers would finally get their tax returns in on time.

Couldn't you have done that while we're all on the school run/at work? Hrrmph.

NotBabiesForLong · 31/01/2022 17:29

Happy memories of the old days. MN close down forcing me to go to bed.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 31/01/2022 17:53

What about as insomniacs? I might have to do something like quizzes or read my book!

Redshoeblueshoe · 31/01/2022 18:02

I think Stella Creasey has volunteered to do her webchat at midnight Grin

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 31/01/2022 18:14

Well, it'll give me a good go at wordle I guess!

Ahh, crap!
VanGoghsDog · 31/01/2022 18:21

Unusual, normal time for this sort of thing is two or three am.

CatCup · 31/01/2022 18:27

We need a list of alternatives to occupy ourselves during that hour. Ideas?

2018SoFarSoGreat · 31/01/2022 18:31

a bit early for those not in the UK. Why not 3-4 am like most other sites?

TheOnlyMrsMac · 31/01/2022 19:09

What will the hairy of hand do instead for the witching hour? At least Night Watch will get a little rest.

musicalfrog · 31/01/2022 19:27

Not gonna lie... this is giving me anxiety!!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 31/01/2022 19:46

My perimonopsusal body and over anxious mind normally collude to wake me up around 3am. You’ll be back on by then won’t you please?
