There's now a status block on the site's
stats page (at the bottom). The link to this page is under the list of boards - it's in the Forum Stats bit under More Stats.
At the mo it's 100% because I only started monitoring this afternoon, but it'll be useful to see how often and for how long the site goes down (no host offers 100% uptime and ours guarantees 99.9%).
It's just a free thing lasting 2 weeks. Not sure if it will work after that or if I'd have to pay $30 / year
Anyway it's there for the 2 weeks
