Doesnt seem like people actually check for other posts about the bot beeing down 

there was but no1 fucking reads it anyways

they wont ignore it if its a huge popup that blocks the site and you have to confirm that you read it and solve 3 captchas before you can close it

i just bot man i don't use these forums an announcement would be helpful i agree

i think a flashing popup would be suffiecent

 

popup already been suggested and denied + adblocker

would make the bot look bad if it massively flashes, just a little green/red light in corner would be enough

all grey games no avatars    BAN ALL GREY NAMES 

noobs

100% support this idea

we had that. why would you remove that anyway?

Leecher.

I'm not one to complain or be stupid when the bot is down after an update but I've been off work all week sick so the days are merging and I forgot it was thursday..

My client was loading but had problems when logging in - different to when the client is down from an update

I did briefly check the forums but didn't see anything about the bot being down (could have been me being blind)

So idiotically I've just spent the last hour trouble shooting why my client isn't working!

That hour would have been saved by some kind of indicator on the site advising the current state of the bot #justsaying

 

Thanks guys!

People would still ignore it
