Do you think people with autism are more prone to frustration?
How do you feel about an autism support site that constantly crashes?
On a level of 1 to 10 how frustrated do you feel every time you see this?:

1 (although I'd prefer 0)
I don't have to pay the server bills or have any other form of monetary investment in the site so I'm just happy it's here and works most of the time. If the site's down then I wait, do something else and try again a little later.
That's not to say I don't get frustrated. I get frustrated about things that can and should be changed but aren't, people being inconsiderate and making other's lives more difficult (supermarkets being a pet peeve - a crowded, noisy, hotbed of inconsideration), bad driving that could endanger lives... I could go on

It is slightly frustrating, because typically the only time I have to post-- like, 10:30-11 Central Time-- is when it crashes. 
I have gotten used to it, though, so it is only about.. a 4.

It appears to me that Alex contracts with a server farm to use one server. So, when it is backing up (or doing other work), the site stalls for a few minutes. Paying for two servers would allow one of them to back up in real time while user data remains active on the second server. I can't blame him, though, as that would increase operational costs. And, as more Internet (and WP) users learn to avoid most of the common non-essential quantifying system and advertisment applications, any remaining revenue shared with the content providers (customers like WP) must be minimal. But, I am simply presuming. I don't really know why the site is offline so frequently (especially in the early morning hours), unless the ability to back up is limited.

It usually starts at about a 5 , then I press back , get the page back , click on what I wanted , Error , move up to about a 7 , close browser , clear cookies and cache , open WP home page , Error , about a 9 now , FFS , If I was younger I would of put my fist through the monitor at this point, but I have learned the hard way that taking my frustration out on my appliances is expensive and painful , it is also embarrising trying to explain to a A&E nurse why you hand is broken
