I wonder what would happen if the forums would automatically Black List posts of this subject? Oooh man, I shudder to think of the hysteria that would follow.

I agree the 2002 error is frustrating but you're acting like SE is doing nothing to alleviate the problems even if a small workaround or band-aid fix is implemented. They've done just that and are looking for ways to do more. I think you're comparing a company like SE to Blizzard/Activision in the way (they) have handled things like this in the past. Difference is? SE has already implemented solutions, and they have already made improvements. Albeit small improvements, but improvements nonetheless.
