Steam Community System isn't responding

yes I am aware I posted before about this. Well its just happened again, for about 20 minutes.

I dug up my former post about it, and i was informed to subscribe to something so I would be aware of it.

This forum account, has nothing and is no way tied to my steam account. Not to mention of course I have 2 steam accoutns because Steam refuses to believe I own Half Life 1. (of which I own 2 copies, I can see them from here on a shelf, but Steam requires me to send them more money to prove it... WHAT?)

Here we are, and I am forced to register, jump through hoops, do this and do that, for things I have paid for.

Why not simply send a message via the steam system "we're sorry but we are updating the servers currently, expected wait time is such and such?"

Instead I have to have multiple accounts and wander through a vertible labrynth just to figure out why I can't play a game...

Say what? as Coach would say.

I'm sorry but I don't spend my free time reading forums, I have other things to do. When I fire up a game I pretty much expect to play it.

I clicked on the link and I see nothing to tell me to subscribe. And if this is something that is going to spam my email address every 20 minutes with notices... then frankly I dont want it.

Why is the whole system of communication disconnected from the main tool itself? Steam?

I'm having the same problem with Steam community too, looks like it's been down for days. Even when I search for my own player name it returns no results!! I want to be able to look up player names for availability.
