.. not so sure if another website needs to be involved in announcing any outages, as from memory ALL of FT being down is a very rare bird isn't it... </font>
While the last complete outage was in February, iirc, nonetheless I think an FT Status page would be helpful. E.g., my DSL internet provider has a status page that has a notation on various aspects of the service, whether they're normal or not, and if they're impaired in what way, and when the expected fix time is.
Something like that could be useful, I still think. E.g., an
official FT status page (not just folks posting in this forum which may or may not represent the entirety of the problem and which gives no indication of resolution time) that could say something like:
"5/13/02 UA Forum and Omni are down. We are aware of the problem and hope for a fix by xxx p.m. MDT"
