A big resounding YES from me. If only to post updates, even if just to have a splash page saying, "we're working on things behind the scenes, and will be back as soon as we're ready" would at least give the glimmer of hope to everyone that their intention is to return.
They, themselves posted a news article that there would be a schedule of downtimes and that notice would be given (paraphrased because it was so long ago I don't remember exactly, but that was the "message").
Well, if memory serves me correct, notice was given ONCE. Then they came back for a day at a time, sometimes barely hours at a time (see the post on uptime/downtime for more precise dates and times), but then no further notice was offered, and down they went, "never more to see the light of day".
For any site, any company, or any business to be offline for almost a year with little to no communication, and expect people not to have a negative reaction is just unreasonable.
