Most of the time when I try to access an archived note I get this message. What's happening? and what to do?

I am really sorry for your inconvenience. If you might actually look at some of the posts on the board you will see that Jason/Matt/Johannes are working on it. Remember, they all have FULL TIME JOBS, and the stuff done on this site is out of the goodness of their hearts. If you have a specific question, why don't you stop whining and email one of the regulars on this board. They probably know the answer to your question, or could help you find someone that does...or just direct you in a specific direction to save you time.

Sorry, but that comment REALLY got to me.

Not every one here knows the personal sacrifices that the maintainers of the board have made to keep it up and running. Not everyone knows that the site doesn't have a large corporation behind it. When i visit a site and something is not working, and doesn't work for a couple of days, I would probably think the same thing as the above poster. I mean i generally get pretty mad when parts of a site don't work, and generally just don't put up with it. But here, everyone knows this is not a normal occurrance, and there is no big company behind the website, so it is completely understandable. Yes i agree that the poster was insensitive, and definitely out of line, but......there are allways two sides.
