Petr I apologize for forgetting to hightlight your good work, however as you have stated you dont have the access needed to fix the issues as you are just a volunteer and dont have sufficient rights on the boxes. Between you and coren I know you two care, however Ryan and others have made it a point to say if stuff breaks it is not a big deal, its not an emergency, and that they will get around to fixing it when they do. Because tools isnt a production server it has the lowest priority.
