So, seems the site was down again. Or at least inaccessible. I was wondering if there was some sort of social media thingy could be set up with info on site problems and the status of whatever fixes are in process.
If this site were to go out for good, I'd kinda like to know what happened, and maybe keep some kind of contact with the community.

Unfortunately, this has been the norm the past few years. It used to be, if the site went down, Aceman or one of the other admins posted an explanation and what was being done about it after it came back up. However, in more recent years, we're left guessing as the conspicuously absent staff gives us little or no explanation after outages.
Appreciate the feedback so far. Honest answer on why the site was down recently: no idea. Guessing some sort of outage, but don't know for sure.
Regarding the Facebook page, that's my creation, with the blessing of the rest of the staff. At this stage we have no idea what that's going to be used for, but by all means use it as a point of contact- I can't promise we'll have answers for each query, but we'll do our best.
I agree Homer. It's early days there, and there's currently a discussion (around the very limited free time the team has at the moment!) about how best to integrate that with the site proper ongoing. In the meantime, I'd suggest that people are welcome to use the Facebook page and post comments etc' there- just be wary that Facebook is not "our house" in the way that SFM is, and the dynamic may be different versus on the forums here.

SFM does have a facebook page, I haven't seen it updated but we the members should be able to post. https://www.facebook.com/scifimeshes/

Hope the above helps.
