I understand where you are coming from, that the announcements should be made at least 1 day before the downtime. However the downtime may have been un-expected. I will follow this up with an admin.
:edit: Unfortunately there is nothing they can do, they cannot send out emails because then they will only get people complaining of spam. The announcement was posted 1 day before the downtime, and good news - no more scheduled downtime.
Quote from an admin: "When hardware breaks we schedule the replacement for as soon as posible, which usually means less than 24 hours."
So you can see the troubles that they face, and hopefully you understand why they couldn't get the warning across to everyone. Their main aim is to get the server up and running as soon as possible, without any disruptions.
