> And really? 5 downvotes for saying that the link does't work? This community has really declined.

Downvotes for an error message posted with no context[1] on the other hand, are entirely appropriate.

[1] The error appears to have been fixed, so reading the article provides no context - I didn't even realize that that was where it had appeared until reading brk's comment.

Isn't the context clear? Do I really need to say "This error message is the whole content of the story?" Aren't you guys a little smarter than that?

I received those downvotes the entire time the website was down.
