Couldn't you make it a bit more specific Fyren? Instead of making it sound like it's all bad, say that it'll be down for maintenance to improve speed before the new server comes in? At the moment it sounds like our servers suck and just to screw you all over some more we'll be taking them down intermittently! --Xasxas256 23:05, 3 November 2006 (CST)

Explain issues
In an effort to try patching our badly damaged PR, can a link be added to this message to an article named something like Server Status that outlines the issues encountered with upgrading the server, why it was delayed, and what was involved in fixing the issue? I don't have even a fraction of the details myself, and don't want to place mis-information out there - so if those with that knowledge could do this, I feel it would help towards improving the sites relations to the community. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 13:17, 16 November 2006 (CST)
 * We've got Server status now. My question is can we change the wording from:
 * New machine is running (and uploads have been enabled again). Please report problems using the "report a bug" link on the left.
 * To something like:
 * The new server is fully operational (and uploads have been enabled again). Please report any problems using the "Report a Bug" link on the left.
 * I prefer "server" over "machine" and on the nav bar it's written as "Report a Bug". Also "please any report problems" sounds better than ""please report problems" in my opinion, the latter sounds like we're antipating a massive barrage of problems! --Xasxas256 22:27, 16 November 2006 (CST)
 * I updated the wording using your suggested changes, as well as inserting links to the server info and report a bug page. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 12:07, 17 November 2006 (CST)
