Well, being down for a few hours during the day is annoying.

there may be other things to do than computer, but thats no reason to kill 300 hits per hour for an update. On an average HL game server, 12 new people join in every hour. 12*24*365 = 105,120 hits...not bad...

Post by: partiallynothing on December 04, 2004, 08:49:57 am: Server updates are something that cannot be scheduled very well at all, because time is relative to where you are on the earth, so making everyone happy is impossible. 12:30 AM, Eastern time, is 9:30 PM to those in the Pacific time zone. Likewise, it is sometime in the morning in Europe durring this time. Not all SpongeZoners are from the United States.

Anyway, thanks for the positive remarks and I will continue to try my best to schedule updates at such times as to disrupt your SpongeZone surfing the least.

Have a good weekend!
