Just in case you stop in here, looking for news:
The AW Water Cooler will be closed Sunday, November 26th, from about 6 am (PST) until we can get the databases transferred to the new server, currently running in an undisclosed co-lo facility. This exciting transfer necessitates a few hours of down time for the site.
Cross your fingers for us, and we should be up and better-powered hopefully by Sunday afternoon--but I'm telling everyone Monday, just in case of unforeseen complications.
Thanks!

You know people will be sitting at their 'puters all day Sunday hitting the "refresh" button...me, I'm taking the daughter out shopping.
Well, that's certainly how I plan to spend the day.
We're planning to put a status update message on the page that will display when you click the link that would ordinarily take you to the Cooler.
Heh.
I'm a bit worried about the people too upset to stop and read, though.
Meh.
Don't worry.
We'll all just hang out in the Chat Room, complain about why we're not actually writing, maybe produce another Play... :-}
I'm finished shopping--Ha!
Mac, don't worry, Lori's emailed everyone...WHAT!!!AW's gonna be down?? Oh crap, I didn't know! I hate when Kola reads my mail first...
Dawno's right....even with the big, blaring announcement at the top of every page last night, I do believe there are going to be a lot of people wondering what in the blankety-blank is going on.
I wish you well, and I look forward to seeing the site up again.

I've been an Absolute Write lurker for a while now, and finally registered officially. So that's how I found you. I'm just saying hi!
Hi, Tracy. Welcome, and I'm glad you went ahead and registered, too!
