nes acting wonky in early morning hours

[greencobra]

started 2-3 days ago and lasts that i've noticed from ~2am to sometime after 6:30am. i get a server 5 error (i think it's a 5 error) but i can't connect on to the site. i'm on now obviously, but if i try to answer a post or create one, it's painfully slow after i hit the POST THREAD button to get that action. like over 45 seconds to well over a minute before it's finished and posts on the screen. navigating around the nes site is fine and normal. there's one other site i'm aware of at this time that also brings up that error and i can't get on, an adult porn site. so nes and smut are down, everything else works. then 6:30-7am, everything back to normal. first nes log on then is very, very slow, almost like it's not connecting and suddenly we're back and running as nothing had happened...all day,early/late evening, fine. and then we're dead in the early morning.

so just wondering if it's us, nes that is, or maintenance is being preformed on the network server. and why everything doesn't go down if it is network server issues. inquiring minds want to know.
