Don't insult people, it's not what we do here. This is a community, not a war zone.
As far my experience MiniRiders hasn't even been down to me. I'm using Firefox 3 on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
I don't know if MiniRiders has a backup period where at a certain time or every so hours/minutes it goes into a backup stage where it back-ups all the files and databases and that may cause MiniRiders to be down. Backing up is good and used in MySQL systems and PHP coding. It's useful for storing and creating a restore of files.
See if you can get in touch with Rob (Username: miniriders), he's the owner and he knows where the server is located and such.
Just a few questions for you Ryder..
Do you live in a remote place?
What browser are you using?
How often do you scan your PC?
Who is your ISP? (Internet Service Provider)
What computer do you have?
Finally, what are you running? (e.g. Windows 98, XP or Vista or an Apple Mac?)
Thank you and when you answer these questions I should be able to help you if it's not to do with the server but if it is.. well.. err.. deal with it?
Have a great day!
