Istockphoto's forums are down, with the following announcement:

"Sorry! iStock�s forums have been temporarily deactivated. What a great chance to get some work done. You do have work to do, right? We�ll have them back soon� we promise."

This got me to thinking about the different ways different microstock companies make announcement. How would other microstock companies handle the same announcement?

Dreamstime (honest, stoic) : Our forums are down due to massive hardware failure. Our programmers are working hard to fix the problem soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Fotolia (lie like hell) : There's nothing wrong with our forums. These are not the droids you're looking for.
