If You Want to make your site Non-contributable for a while...

It would be astimactalicty awesome if the site /administrators/ could make the site be non-contibutable for a while... You know, when your fixing a bug, you make us only be able to look at the site.. It would be cool if we, administrators, could make our site be not open for contributing. But all the moderators could still be editing the pages, just the writers and below couldn't edit, post on threads, or make any sort of contributing. Do you find this valuable?

Yes, I thought of this a while back though. Never mentioned it, we all know Wetpaint aren't ever going to make any new features. That's why they got rid of the suggestions page. Do you find this valuable?

With that being said about no more feature development, we need to use the tools that are available to us today. The easiest way to tend to visitors to your site while you are making modificaitons to it is to set up a Home Page explaining that the site is going through a construction phase and please return later. Delete all the content on you Home page and place your message onto the blank home page. When you are finished with you work, revert back to the original content.

See this page example at Splats2 wiki.
