Subject: RE: Tech: Error 503 Service Unavailable
Yeah, I didn't know about that rule either. Can't say I really know how to define what the difference between help and the regular forum, except that in general, music and BS should NOT be posted on the Help Forum unless the main forum is down. I guess I'd say if SINSULL wanted to report the 503 message, she should report in in the Help Forum. If she wants to express frustration with the 503 message, sh can do it where she wants.

Oh, and in general, the Help Forum is for handling problems, not for goofing around. We don't mind a little humor there, and it's open for conversation when the main Forum is down; but certain people get out of hand there. The Help Forum is supposed to be a place where people can post their tech problems when they need help from a moderator. We moderators monitor the Help Forum so we can deal with those problems.

It's a burden on us if we have to sort through a bunch of dumb one-liners to find the people who really need help.
