Every day from 23:30 to 0:30 the server is down for maintenance. Seriously, every day? Their server needs maintenance every fucking day? Which technology are they using?

A mainframe that does batch processing at night.

They use OpenVMS on Alpha it seems. Look at this: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/brochures/indiarr/indiarr.... I don't think HP is winning any customers here.

Its not down for maintenance. Its to prevent the system from being taken advantage of by Internet users and put the rest, which is the vast majority at a disadvantage.
