Groups downtime Monday night, January 9th, at 9:00 pm (PST)

[Guest guest]

will be continuing our database maintenance on Monday night, January 9, at 9:00 pm Pacific Time (5:00 am on the 10th (GMT)). For approximately 30 minutes, the Groups site will be down for all groups. In addition, 25% of groups will be unavailable for an additional 30-45 minutes. Messages sent to affected groups during that time will be queued and delivered once the groups are back online.We appreciate everyone's patience and apologize for the unusually frequent series of maintenance downtimes we have had to schedule recently. The Holiday season gifted us with an unfortunate combination of hardware failures and data corruption issues. Fortunately, we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, although folks should expect at least one more period of downtime in the coming weeks.- Gordon Team
