A jeep forum I was on years ago (since dissolved because the owner lost interest) had what was called the "CODE RED" forum.
The idea was that if someone was working on their vehicle and had a problem they would post it there: "I can't figure out how to arrange the bearings and seals on this flux capacitor", "Page 3 is missing from this installation guide. What do I do next?", "I'm missing the bolt that holds on the gazinka valve. What size is it supposed to be?" You know, the kinda thing that you can't get an answer on from the manufacturer till Monday sorta deal.
The idea was that sometimes emergency requests get lost in forums, particularly if there is a hot thread at the time. The "CODE RED" forum was something that everyone checked when they logged in or out to make sure nobody was in a jam and if they were they could help if able.
