As a reg, the one thing that a lot of people like me really hate when the server is restarting is the fact you can’t battle anymore, and a lot of chats now have modchat + on.
My solution would be to host a permanent (listed or unlisted, take your pick) sideserver with a name such as battling.psim.us, or something like that. It could be tacked onto the end of those ‘server is restarting’ messages, where players are told to copy their teams and go to that address to continue battling.
There would be only 1 room in the server, and it would be called ‘Notifications’, ‘Main’, or any other name it could be, where modchat was set to % and it would only display notifications about the main server, where it would say ‘The main Pokemon Showdown server is up again’, or something like that.
I hope you consider my suggestion, and have a good day!
