What's up with Server Status?

The Server Status page has always been full of surprises and wonderment. It always makes me giggle when we're told to watch it for updates.
The server status isn't instantly updated, it has to periodically check (I think every 5 minutes).
Also, sounds like your web browser is doing some caching of that page and freaking out about which to show.

I saw the strange behavior also, but right now it's showing Servers as Unknown or down. Gotta Luv It LOL
True, it self-updates periodically, but one would think it would update more frequently than every two weeks 
It's back to normal now, and all the servers are still down... Scratch that, it's back to two weeks ago and all the servers are still up... How do I fix this caching problem, other than stepping away for half an hour and hoping it's right when I come back?

It isn't just you. I thought it was great maint finished in 30 mins, tried to log in and it was down. Refresh ... down .. unknown etc. Then it showed all up again.
I'm randomly clicking the log in button and see if it connects.

Hit the fresh button and that will get you the latest. But when it Auto -refreshes it goes back. LOL Is not you It's the Web page.
Disregard last transmission the Refresh Button stopped working. OMG ROFL
The Server Status Page uses the newest Best Guess™ technology.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

The Server Status page is punking me. I saw the Admin message about the servers going down, left and came back at 4:01 PM (a minute after maintenance should start). I checked the Server Status and everything was Up. Except, the updater couldn't connect. And how COULD the servers be up if they'd just gone down? Then I noticed it: Updated: 2009-06-24 13:05:02 UTC.
Aha! So the servers WERE up two weeks ago! That's good to know, I guess. I switched tabs to copy the update time as I was posting this, and very briefly saw it updated on the CORRECT day and showing everything as Down, but as soon as it noticed me looking at it, it switched back to the 24th of June and showed everything as Up. So it shows right when I have my back turned, but shows me the wrong info when I turn to look. Hard har har, server status! You sure fooled me!
