I use Amazon S3 for off-site backup of my photos (I have several on-site backups as well but if my house burns down I need the off-site backup!) and they recently introduced a 'service health dashboard' that looks like this
http://status.aws.amazon.com/
A similar status page for Pbase would be fantastic. It could be scaled down to just be a blog style page, with rss feed, with the health status of the Pbase system and available as a button in the top menu bar. That way every single user if they experience a problem, especially the people who never visit the forums - or if they do, post before reading anything - could easily find the status page.
Best regards,
Flemming
