Normally the people who are friends with a GM or Mod in my case, are the ones who talk to us the most and communicate with us the most. There are many players who do not talk to us much unless they need help so they don't always know whats going on. So in other words just talk to us more often and get to know us.
Btw, there is actually a section on forum for the development, news and updates on the forum. There is no need to make a section called server status since something like that would go in news and development.
