New and improved: Upsized GRM website server coming Tuesday

GRM is growing. More fun, more content, more good stuff.

What does that mean for you?

We need to move to a bigger server, so the GRM site will be down for a spell around 6 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, September 24. The pause in service should take less than an hour.

Is my forum join date going to be reset again?

Good Luck with the cut over in the AM

Great success this morning, evidently. Well done.

Yup, looks like we’re all here. 

Thanks, everyone.
