What I mean really is that if there's a fault at 3:47am and no one is there to see it... Is there a fault? ;)

That depends - is there a scheduled maintenance window - if so then then the answer is no.

IMHO this is going to be the single biggest problem with a site like this; finding out if an outage was scheduled work or not - most providers seldom make maintenance window information available outside their technical NOC groups.

wrt Idea for implementation: keep away from anything flash.

It's easy to find out "peak usage times", and other customer behavioral trend information. Start off with weighing submissions during those times higher and give others less scale tilting ability outside of them , and progress from there. Cheers, Drew Broadley drew(a)broadley.org.nz
