[B](I We have been asking for some kind of "status page" from FT for some time now but it's sadly never been created.</font>
If our servers are down where would such a page be hosted? If our servers are down would you rather that we be working on bringing them back up or setting up a status page? There is also a problem in that some outtages are caused by problems outside of our control. The last "outtage" that I'm aware of was actually a central router failing in the Washington DC area that caused major connectivity problems throughout the United States. How should we handle that? The flyertalk server itself has been stable and running now for more than a month without downtime. Any outtage you've experienced in that time is related to a network problem that is outside our control and often outside of our awareness.

Thanks for the suggestions, but the reality is that a status page doesn't make sense to us.
