Don't forget that on that status page also comes the outage of that status page...so there will be a separate status page about the status page.
That status page will be hidden of course, nowhere linked to, or mentioned... oh, pretty much like it is now.

But I do agree that such should be a page accessible from the steam client browser and not in a forum, a option/link or w/e that is to a fixed page (separate box?) that gets updated with outages (planned or not), valve strikes, and other stuff interesting for steam users/server operators. Give it its own blog or w/e.

if a network as big as Steam could have a status page accessible where they
would post planned outage info other then in a general forum category we have
to search for. Not very well planned if you ask me.
