I'm doing one of those MDA / Jerry's Kids fundraisers, and last week the admins decided that a Monday from 10am - 4pm was a good time to take down the site for maintenance. Of course this was about an hour after I send 100+ e-mails for donations.....

It does defy belief that an admin, any admin big or small, does not take into account the people they serve when performing maintenance.

On the other hand, when your audience is international, it's always 5 o'clock somewhere...

@Duffbert - yeah, I was thinking that, too. However, wouldn't "clustering" be something you might want to consider?

@Jamie - amazing what a little communication can do (or some sort of Change Management). Not *all* admins view their user community with disdain.

Depends if you've figured out a revenue model yet...
