Dear users, the service is closed for update and maintenance, the date of works completion will be posted later.
Yeah, the website is inaccessible at the moment. But hopefully, the maintenance and the update will be done very soon.
Thanks for keeping us updated, Sinbad representative.  Cool

I do not think this is the right way to do the maintenance of a site. When I open sinbad, I come across this page, showing that the site is inaccessible.

Every website has the right to do maintenance. If you think that this is not the right way to do maintenance, IMHO what is not right is that there were no announcements made. But in this case, they just did. And by the time that you have visited them, they have announced that they'd do a maintenance so that's expected that you'll see that error.

I understand that people at bitcointalk are aware of this maintenance, but what about the people accessing Sinbad directly and not using the bitcointalk forum, they will just think that that site is down. It will have a serious bad impact on their business.
And the concern you have brought is right but I think that every user should be aware of the community channels that they have and they've announced it there on their Telegram channel.

Isn't good to put a page showing that the site is in maintenance mode, rather than making it completely offline especially when it is a service site ?
Also, there is no intimation of when this maintenance will be over, usually the engineers are aware of the tentative maintenance time  Huh
I agree although this is a server matter and will take a few days or so as they've said on their telegram.
