My favourite thing about Hacker News is seeing submissions like these. Partly because whenever a site is down, the submission is a link to the site itself and the traffic from people hitting the submission link might be making things worse. Why not just a title and some text without a link instead? Perhaps the title could say: "Tell HN: Github is down again" instead and perhaps the text could say something like, "I'm in New York and Github is down for me."
