I sure hope there was a good reason earlier this morning, it is unacceptable not to have well publicized advance notice when groups.io will be down for maintenance.
Shal has provided the "correct" answer; I am curious to know if you if you run a free or paid - for Group. If paid - for then I can see your point. I don't know how many groups Groups.io supports but I would have thought that a notification could have been sent to all Group Owners.
I knew about it from the beta group and as a result posted a warning this morning at 0630 (UK time) (automated, via our Calendar) so that our members (a free Group BTW) would have a few hours' notice. However, the beta group has (at the time of writing) 456 members, which is less than 0.1% of those who are listed for "updates".
Can I suggest a request on the beta group, suggesting that planned downtime be given publicity beyond the very limited number of beta habitu¨¦s? Even if it had been published on
this Group then there is absolutely no certainty that every Group Owner would have known about it; even 849 members must be a
lot less than the total number of Owners.
