Basically, yes, the site has had some problems recently, but simply stating "J2O hosting sucks" and "this is pretty bad!" is less likely to motivate me to find out what's wrong than just a friendly note that you've been having issues with the site lately. It's not like we make stuff run slowly to spite you.

I don't mean it personally, it just gets frustrating after a while finding the site being down or slow 50% of the time I try to open. I highly doubt a site would run slow to spite people.
I'm one of those "evil" people who isn't afraid to admit something is bad, and some take it personally. Yet I explain why. I don't see it as personal because it's not directed towards the people themselves. Which I know not everyone sees it that way. Having get to used to dad shouting at me for simple questions at times maybe effects the way I explain things too.
When people acknowledge big enough problems, I kind of expect them to know it's bad. Does that make them a bad person? No. That includes things I create, too.
Are all fairly cheap hosts unreliable like this? For a site that doesn't get much traffic and fairly small upload sizes, it doesn't need something big. While slow speed is one thing, the downtime is the main issue.
Who knows, maybe this will stop happening after a while. But if it keeps going, this thread may be bumped.
Maybe I'll even donate a bit to help with getting a more reliable server.
