This was just the place the venting came out after it happened. Some days it's just a nucance while other days it pretty much bars me from TR within the time limits I have for reading.

I spent most of yesterday looking at 404 errors on the front page, forums and user profile spaces. The cluster felt it prudent to duplicate a few of my posts also though one was entirely my own fault.

As a tech most of us realize servers go down and have issues. The regularity and increased frequency are what cause me questions.

The readers are limited to what the company provides us in exchange for seeint it's advertisements.

The writers are limited to providing the content posted within the framework of the website.

The tech admin guys keep insolated from the readers and do what they can to keep the cluster running.

I am greatful for the service provided by TR but the novelty of IE crashing from the overwelming Flash content, 404s and duplications wears off. If it was not for the content provided, my visits would have gone the same way as my visiting CNet regularily.
