• Are targeted at a small segment of the community (power users)
• Would be cost- or time-prohibitive to support officially
• Are too new to match the slow roll-out period of official services
• Would not scale practically if used by the entire campus

As a student organization run by volunteers, we do not offer service guarantees and nobody carries a pager. However, our services are generally extremely stable and have come to be relied upon by a significant proportion of the campus community.
