Pretty simple idea: somewhere we put a thread where people log server downtime, to be used to compile more detailed reports about site and server downtime.
Purpose?
Bring attention to downtime, so we could possibly appeal to Coolbuddy, or make developers notice enough to get a reverse proxy server or some sort of solution.
'Well, that would look bad on the site if people realized how much downtime we had'
Make a private form people can submit logging the downtime from their perspectives.
Just an idea, easy to setup and could be hopeful.
