Server down/maintenance countdown

[DeletedUser270]

If there is going to be a known maintenance or server shutdown, would it be possible to have some sort of countdown so that people can wrap up what they are doing or not start a action that need attention. Maybe starting a half hour before or something. There have been several times when you have shut down for 5 minute maintenance where I was in the middle of something. Just an idea, since you started posting notices recently anyway.

This is was not scheduled maintenance. We do apologize for the inconvenience. The server should now be up and running.

I know it was not scheduled, but in the past things get shut down for 5 minute maintenance and this just made me think of it.

Still seems down for me.
