It has been my experience, over two decades, the MC is most likely to "go down" over periods of USA holiday weekends...i.e. when most of the USA is with family and friends.

Like jugglers in a three ring circus the "elves" and "clones" keep the Mudcat moving..

On major-extended USA holidays...many of the MC "magicians and servants" elect to be with their family and friends.

New Years, Passover/Easter, Memorial, Veterans, Christmas/Hanaka are also traditional times for hackers/exploaters to attempt attacks on a system.

In the past few years I believe Max moved over to "Go Daddy."
The system has been increasingly stable. And it has allowed him a "real life."

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

If you seek records of times, dates, down-time, for MC, those records are transparent, and public.

It has been several years since a plea for funds has gone out.
