IPC servers and the e-mail system are being taken down today, Friday Oct 15 at 5:00 p.m. CDT for scheduled maintenance. Projected down time is a few hours but will be dependent on what the computers feel like doing, not what we want them to do. Hugo has tweaked the system with our internet service provider. If you attempt to post to any of the following forums during the down time, you should receive a reply that the system will continue to try and deliver your message for the next four days. As soon as everything is back up all backlog will clear and you should receive the standard notice of your posting. We'll be back on line all the way as quickly as possible.
