site is down until it's up.
I must admit I interpreted it as "Go away ... we're busy", but wasn't sure about the busy bit, I just hoped that was what you meant. But I did try the site for another 24 hours. After that message. perhaps a "We're back kids message" might have been helpful, but would possibly have been too hard to organise?
How about ... "Yes, we know!! We're trying to fix it!!!"? Not exactly warm and fuzzy but a bit warmer and fuzzier than the original.
But we all seem to have found our way back here, whether
TPTB wanted us back or not.
