To be fair, there's nothing to update us on. The site isn't currently working, and hasn't been all day since around 13 minutes after it went online. No explanation as to why or a reasonable timeframe either. Also no comment about why SE seem to ignore exchange rates and we're having to pay the same amount in GBP as the North Americans are paying dollars. Current exchange rates put us in the UK paying a whopping £43 extra for the exact same content because ... well, no apparent reason. Honestly, this is a more pressing issue than when the site will be back up, in my opinion.

I do find it amusing they are letting people know in advance when the site is about to go up, because that's almost ensuring another crash as everyone attempts to access it at the same time. Almost "better" to leave everyone in the dark and gradually learn for themselves that it's finally working ...
