PMs from the forum such as "The webmail has been down all week, what's going on?"

Argh.

If you noticed it was down for more than a few hours or so, wouldn't you contact people a little sooner? It's not like the webmail is a function either PreZ or I use, so it's not like we know this stuff until someone points it out.

Ah. If I'd realised that I'd have mentioned something. (At all, let alone sooner). I was simply waiting patiently for you to fix it. =)

See how much faith I have in you?

Hehehe.

PreZ imaps his GN mail, I pop it, so neither of us uses the webmail client.

Mostly I was a bit pissy about it because of the way the PM I got was worded, it wasn't exactly the most polite phrasing, just kind of accusatory.

Any good sysadmin knows when a service goes down and doesn't wait for the users to notify them. ;)

That's assuming there's some error that actually surfaces for him to notice.

The mail itself was working, otherwise we would have noticed that ages ago, however, if it's just some script error on the page itself, then I don't necessarily see how it's going to tip him off, unless people make us aware of the problem.

Plus it's not too much to ask for users to give us a heads up when they notice things aren't running like they should either.

Heheheh I know, I was just busting your chops ;)

"You now have 40 megabytes"

"No. 40 megabytes."
User: "Ohhh..."
