-===== Why is the forum closed on Mondays? =====
-The forum is closed on Mondays, you will be unable to access the forum on that day! This is partly to give everyone a break (especially moderators), but also to act as a reminder that it's not good to always be online and connected - it's good to step back and appreciate the time we have. If you send a message or make a post as the forum is closing the post won't be lost, it will be there when the forum reopens!
-The forum closes at Midnight UTC ([[swatch_time|@000]]) on Monday and opens again 24 hours later at @000 Tuesday!
-The forum [[https://forum.melonland.net/index.php?&action=login|login link]] works on Mondays, so you can still access your account to do non-posting activities, like editing the [[pad|Everyone Website]], your forum profile page, or this wiki.
