I am sure your customer really appreciates you exploiting their unfortunate outage. This is really what I look for in a company that I depend on when my day is already going terrible.
I have to agree. If I saw this during my downtime, I'd be pretty upset.
I completely agree. This was in bad taste. At least wait for DNSimple to have their service back up.
I second this - I'm a customer of a company that runs on DNSimple; having a status page doesn't help the fact that I can't access my service. There's also @DNSimple for status updates
Unless of course they agreed to it. If not then yes it's a cheap shot.
