ADMIN: Yahoo down this weekend

[John Walton]

Greetings from the HPFGU Hexquarters, where we have just received an owl
from Lord Yahoomort himself.

Dear DeathEater! Groups Members,

The DeathEater! Groups service will be down for scheduled maintenance
Friday, March 15, 9:00 PM PST (GMT-8) as we move our servers to a new
facility. We expect the service to be restored the morning of Sunday
March 17.

During this time the web site will be unavailable and email will not
be delivered. (Some users may experience email non-delivery notices
while the service is down, but all email should be delivered once
service is resumed.) Please note: once the service is restored, there
will be email delays due to backlog. We expect these delays to last
no longer than 1 day. Please do not re-send email to your group as
this will only add to delays.

Which is nice. Again.

Well, folks, all that the Mods can say is that we hope that you enjoy a
little bit of rest and relaxation from the HPFGUniverse this weekend. If
you're craving your Harry Potter fix, you could always try FictionAlleyPark,
at www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark, where some of the Mods and your
fellow listies hang out, talking about much more than just fanfic.

Sunday Chat will go on as scheduled for Sunday. As Yahoo!Groups will be
down, the easiest way to access it will be via CheetaChat (for PCs) or
miChat (for Macs). Here's the lowdown:

Every week, we have a chat in a Yahoo Chat Room (HP:1) which usually starts
between 3 and 4 pm US Eastern Time and ends at 7, 8, 9 or even later! (UK
time: add five hours. US Pacific Time: subtract three hours)

Consult www.versiontracker.com for the latest upgrades to these. Generally,
all you will need is your Yahoo ID and the chatroom name (HP:1). If you have
problems with setting these up, please contact the Mods at
HPforGrownups-Owner at yahoogroups.com until Yahoo goes into hibernation. After
that, you can email me personally at john at walton.vu and I'll be more than
happy to help out with any problems.

If there's interest, you should all feel free to be in the chatroom whenever
you want over this weekend -- so go for it :)

Magically yours,

--John, technoModerator with Rock #47
for the HPFGU Moderator Team
