It would be nice if someone in the know would occasionally explain why Mudcat goes down or goes very very slow, as it has been doing rather often of late. I eventually come back to the forum with no idea of why I couldn't access it, and I don't know where to find out what was wrong or if it could go wrong again, or if it was planned (or unplanned) maintenance.

Put simply, being informed makes people feel better about things. I thought that was the genesis of this thread.
