Throwing my voice in with the "whiners".  No, this doesn't upend my life, 
or, honestly, inconvenience me in any way.   Well, except for a few nights 
ago when we went to download a ruleset.  Or last week when we went to 
access some mp3 files for a game.  The point is that this is a site run by 
full-time staff, that takes on tons of donations, and, lately, it goes down 
All The Time.  I can't think of any other site that I regularly visit that 
has even gone down even once in recent memory.  

I'm sayin' that it's starting to look bad, is what I'm sayin'.  Perception 
counts for a lot.  Performance counts for a lot.  Getting into the business 
of calling critics "whiners" or "entitled" counts for nothing, except 
making you look like a star-eyed groupie.  Telling me about how this 
commercial site is "free", with its user-generated content, fund drives (to 
which I've contributed for eight years), and advertisements, in order to 
make me stop complaining reveals a startling gullibility on your part.  

Look, there's a lot to love about BGG, and it's still my favorite place on 
the internet.  But don't let that emotion cloud your reasoning skills to 
the point where you attack your fellow BGGers for voicing their opinions.
