This is advanced notification to you that most of RootsWeb
will be off-line on the morning of Thursday 19th January
while they shift servers between NOCs. A message to this
effect has been loaded to the announcements on the HelpDesk
http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/.
The Message Boards and WorldConnect are both services
that are already at the new location so these services will
not be off-line, ie. they will be fully functional.
The time of the shift will be 12am through 6am Utah time
(MST), ie. up to six hours in duration.
This equates to
US and Canada 2am EST, 1am CST, 11pm PST
UK/GMT 7am
NZ 8pm
Aus 6pm AEDT,
5.30pm ACDT,
5pm AEST,
4.30pm ACST,
3pm AWST
Other time zones you will have to work out for yourselves.
Mail sent to lists during this time should spool (wait) at
your ISP or the message boards server for our mail
servers to come back online. For this short down time,
none should bounce (Note that it is a 'should' statement)
