This message has been received from Andrew Billinghurst, one of the Staff
members at Rootsweb, announcing that the lists will be down for six hours
tomorrow.
During the down period please DO NOT send "Just Testing" messages to the
lists.
All the best

==================================
This is advanced notification to you that most of RootsWeb will be off-line
on the morning of Thursday 19th January while we 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)
[I considered sending this to the announcement list, however, considering
the short outage time and the amount of notification, so many probably won't
see it or notice that it happened.]
Happy to answer any questions, though there is not much extra to say, beyond
that the new NOC will be better and allow for easier intervention with and
restarting of servers when they are being contrary. :-)
Regards, Andrew
