Block us from creaitng new games when there is an Update/ increase warning time

9 votes

Half an hour or so before an update, block us from creating new games. None of these will be able to finish, and after reboots, the tables are gone anyway. Today I tried playing twice and each time the reboot killed my game. I had 10 minute warnings. Half an hour isn't a long time to wait.

I can understand if there is a need for an emergency update, if some aspect of security remains vulnerable otherwise, but just rebooting with too little warning is really annoying.

I suggest that an indicator be added to the site that can be enabled by a command so it is not just a single announcement. Anyone who starts after the announcement doesn't get it... an indicator would be seen by all until the site goes down... maybe even a count down timer.
