Sometimes I think people forget that the people who make the sites or write the fiction have lives outside of the internet. They expect everything to work all the time and their favorit fics to be avalible all the time.

When something goes wrong they go nuts because their little world is out of wack until it's fixed. *shrug*

Like on my sentinel lists, if one of the sites goes down everyone is like: "OH MY GOD THE SITE IS DOWN THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!! AHHH WHERE'S MY FIC!!" and I'm sitting here going ahh apparetently something happen with the site and it will be back up soon. Deal with it people. The world isn't going to end if you can't read your fic.

Most of the time when a site goes down there's NOTHING the person that made it can do about it. It has to do with the server it's on or whatever hosting service the person is using. I've moved my archives at least a dosin times so far. I KNOW people are annoyed with all those moves but there's nothing I can do about it. I had to move the site due to verious reasons.

I think there's also another thing where... people forget that they are talking to other people when they send emails or they forget that someone spend time and sometimes money on makeing the sites.... because there's no in person contact it's easy to pretend you are talking ot a object rather than a person...
