It's BETA testing though, so you should expect downtime

It does sound about right. However, as I understand it, the site is currently in beta, so there will be problems they need to iron out..

People these days haven't a clue what a beta test actually is though. Back in the day we were grateful just to get an early glimpse of something, if it was down 90% of the time that was just par for the course. These days people expect Betas to be 100% working... kinda defeating the point of having a beta.
