Of course, thats under the assumption they arent using the server as an excuse.  Their main message mentions the MARKET needing to cool down, not a server upgrade.   Its a currency manipulation most likely.

It should also be noted that they may be taking their service down for about 2 hours to install and configure extra servers.

Someone on this forum mentioned it from a Facebook post on the Mt.Gox page.

I'm not affiliated with Mt. Gox, but I wanted to help spread the news in case some of you aren't checking their site regularly. Their original statement about temporarily shutting down their exchange was:

"Trading is halted until 2013-04-12 02:00am UTC to allow the market to cooldown following the drop in price."

They've added a note that they'll not charge trading fees initially when they reopen:

"Additionally trading fees will not be charged within 48 hours of trading resuming (until 2013-04-14 02:00am UTC)."

Their support page is the place to watch for updated news: https://support.mtgox.com/home
