However I've asked around, especially those long time farmer friends of mine who totally quit Farm Town within the past 2 weeks due to it being so broken it's impossible to plant several farms (NO LAYERS) in a timely manner and to a farmer they all said couldn't ever remember a shut down for a few hours to repair.
We all do remember there being a few times since 2009 we haven't been able to get into the game and being told was a Facebook issue but other than those times (no warning lock outs) no one can remember there being a general maintenance lock out for a couple hours./B]

I recall a few official shut downs, but not recently. It would have been back in late 2009 - 2011. FT was shut down for a few hours for "maintenance". They gave an estimation of the restarting time, once I recall they restarted when they said they would, another time they ran late.
The notification appeared above the farm. It was the same style as for all official announcements that we get occasionally.
The reason why u may not have heard of it is cos the shut downs start at midnight US Eastern Standard time. But I'm in Australia, so those shut downs occur in our early afternoon. I know I'm not mistaken about this cos the first time it happened I had to go to a world time site to translate what time of day it was going to affect me. So, on thinking about it, they did give us notice but don't recall how many hours it was.
Also, I was unable to be online from November 2011 to mid 2012 so I can't speak for that period of time.
