Well some messages are important, and HAVE to be read, rather than just igored, like if the server is going to be rebooted, so we tell people to save their work, otherwise it will be lost. At the moment the message pops up, and they just ignore it, and click ok, without reading it. I don't really mind if they find it annoying or not, if they read it in the 1st place we wouldn't have to do it. And its only for 5 seconds, if they are reading it, the countdown would be gone by the time they read it.
